Christy is a Tricky Girl! In a bizarre twist of fate, as my Hurricane Sister was knitting a sock for me, I was knitting a sock for her! Cindi packed my swap box with loads of things to make hurricanes a happier event!

Not pictured: traditional pre-storm Brownie mix.
It is hidden from William Henry.

All kinds of stuff to keep me entertained the next time the power is out. I am not waiting for the power to go out to finish this pair of socks though. The pattern is the interesting and appropriately named Tidal Wave Socks by Deby Lake!

Looks like a heavy chop to me.

The yarn is the Anne Shaefer Yarn. It’s got a little bit of mohair in it that gives it a really pleasant halo. I am thrilled with all my goodies – thanks so much Cindi! And many thanks again to Christy for organizing another great (and hopefully storm-preventing) Hurricane Swap Party!

Stay tuned to Yarn Miracle (home of the non-traditional swap) for the details on an upcoming Summer Event! I know you’re asking yourself: Will the fun never end?

I didn’t knit much this weekend – but I do have a clean garage! I consider that a fair trade for an unfinished polo.

The back and part of the front.

I think I have figured out the pattern for the second of the RubySapphire Sock Club Socks. There isn’t much to show yet (I keep changing my mind and adjusting), but I started a general purpose sock with one of the Side Effect Patterns from that effort.

As a side effect sock, it should have a name like headache or nausea.

The yarn is the Instant Gratification in Chocolate Covered Kisses from Sue, my Special Swap Pal for February. You can see the stitch pattern better (there is a stitch pattern – I swear) when it the sock is stretched – it will look great in a solid yarn but I also like it in the Chocolate Covered Kisses. I’ll type the pattern up for general consumption after I get the heel turned and figure out what happens on the instep. I’ve actually got notes for a couple of Side Effect Patterns…

Maude in the sun.

She may have a new home – keep your fingers crossed!
