So it’s been quite gloomy here in the Bay Area. Rainy. Chilly. Cold & Clammy. Perfect timing though… b/c now I finally have a pair of handknit socks to wear! Yay for warm & pretty socks!

In other news, I am back on the road again starting tomorrow. Hopefully this trip will yield some nice pix, since the ones of LA are always boring. I will miss the purly brats though… they’ve been so cute & cuddly lately because of the cold (and yes, that is my crocheted scarf underneath them! what spoiled brat cats!)

Yes, I am back to knitting up a storm. My methodology for getting back into the swing of things was to start with a few small and quick knits… and it totally worked! I am on my way to finishing my
Pastel Socks, and will definitely post pictures when they are all done 
So here are the quick bits that helped to sway me back to the knitting realm.
