Yarn Along: Purple Socks and PLL

Knitting

I’m working on a pair of socks that were supposed to be a Christmas gift for my mother. (Clearly, they didn’t make the deadline.) I toyed with the idea of just gifting the yarn ITSELF to my mom. She’s a knitter and could make her own socks, and Wollmeise is a very luxurious and hard-to-get yarn, making it a great gift … but no, I decided my mother is a busy enough lady. She certainly doesn’t need to have to knit her own Christmas gift! So I’m about halfway through knitting the first sock in this pair. It’s a slow-moving pattern with the dropping/picking up stitches (at least for me), but it sure is pretty.

Pattern: Earlybird by Cassandra Dominick
Yarn: Wollmeise Pure in Purple Velvet

Reading

Just before Christmas, Mike and I moved our old TV into our bedroom. It was quite an ordeal to get it hung on the wall just where we wanted it, but I was pretty proud when it was all done. Then I got Mike a Kindle Fire for Christmas, and I downloaded a bunch of Kindle books to my iPhone after the holiday … and neither of us has been using the TV in the bedroom at all! (This is, of course, NOT a bad thing!) Right now I’m trying to knock out the remainder of the Pretty Little Liars series. I’m about a quarter of the way through book #15 of the series, Toxic. I believe the 16th book in the series is the last one, so I’m almost there!
