Grey Monday

It's a lovely grey Monday here, not really the cheeriest way to start the week, and even more gloomy when the 10 day forecast expects rain for 8 out of the next 10 days.  But rainy days are also good for lots of coffee and knitting and soup.  Mind you my current knitting projects are at least as grey as the weather.

 My latest purchases at WEBS.

The Webs Anniversary Sale started this weekend and I headed up on Saturday to make sure I got the Cascade 220 I wanted before they ran out.  So the above is two sweater vests and some pima/silk for my sister - all greys.

Thankfully I also thought to get some color for myself.  A nice skein of clearance Sockin' Socks, which means I now just need to learn how to knit socks - just a small detail.  I'm waiting on a book on how to knit socks from the toe up, it looks like it will be more difficult initially, but I think it will be worth it to be able to just keep knitting the sock until I run out of yarn rather than ending up with leftovers once the foot is long enough.  If I can figure this out everyone may be getting socks for Christmas this year!
