Many moons have risen and fallen without a post on this blog. One can hope that where will be more time next year.
Last night, my knitting group (Long Beach Stitch N Beach) had our annual holiday party. There was much food and drink and merriment and knitting. And of course gifts.
The gift I received was a beautiful blue skein of Malabrigo sock yarn in Caribeno (474). Having never knitted with anything smaller than worsted weight, my first stop this morning was ravelry.com to search for the right sock pattern. After several near hits and total misses, I visited knitty.com, but couldn't find anything that tickled my fancy.
The next and last stop: TheAntiCraft.com. There, I found the sock pattern for the newly acquired Malabrigo. Los Pequenos Relojes de Arena (the little hourglasses).
This lovely sock pattern had been sitting in my Ravelry favorites for longer than I care to admit. While I am excited to start these little sweeties, I must get through my final finals, a 1250-mile road trip, and finish three Minion hats for my nephews in time for Christmas.
What a wonderful project to look forward to in the new year. I wish you all a safe and happy holiday season.
