Old Projects Revisited

As you know, I am still working on the socks made from Bernat Sox yarn. This week has been so busy, and I was hoping to have them done by today. No such luck. When my knitting frustration sets in, I usually start a new project and/or shop for yarn. Since I bought yarn last weekend, I decided to look at one of my old projects.

Here is last week's yarn purchase. I've been dying to try Lion Suede, so what better time to buy it than when it's on sale. I'm thinking a bolero. Then, I've been thinking a lot about those ballet wraps.-minimal shaping, no fancy stitches, and I sure could use one in blue to go with jeans. Voila! That's the pattern I'm going to use from the latest VK, and I'm going to try some of this Bernat boucle. What the heck! Throw caution to the wind.

Now, about the old project....I got some Wildfoote for $2.00 a skein, and this was the only color choice--Kansas Sky. I fell in love with the name of this yarn, and immediately cast on to make Purl Lace Socks from the book Socks Socks Socks. Once I started the lace portion, I knew something had gone astray. The size 2 needles made this horrible big sloppy sock. R-r-r-rip! I am going to attempt them again. Do ya think O's will be small enough? If not, I may have to treat myself to some Addis in OOs. I tried to find them in KC, but the shops were sold out.
Have I mentioned that Bon Jovi had to schedule another concert because the first one was sold out in 48 hours? Wish I could afford to go to both, or at least win the contest to go onstage with them! That would be killer!
