yarn after yarn
Last winter was remarkable for me, in kids flu issues.
Since I've got my boys so for 8 years, every winter was a kind of nightmare due to baby's sick, coughing, crying, had to take day offs at the last moment, etc. I quitted office work at the end of 2006, and the winter 2007-2008 I stayed completely at home, no problem to take care of kids if necessary, and they did NOT get flu at all(though once elder one got infected gastroenteritis). Especially my 3yrs. He was completely fine....That was very nice.
Instead, I was quite sick three times. It is quite rare for me. Maybe I guess some part of me got finally relaxed from busy working mother life, I mean I released the tension I had always when I kept my working and mothering balanced life. Now I work somehow a very bit at home, to get some extra money (you know for what), but the situation is completely different. It is nice, except getting sick!
BTW, I've just released my new yarn, Margo at my shop(see right bar)and just yesterday I finished my Margo sock.
This is my sample socks, to assure the yardage is enough for making a pair of woman socks. I made rib and cable sock and it took only slightly more than 70g. My skein is 100g for 330 yards, so it should be OK!! Oh, and the pattern is my original, just knitted up.
And another photo...
This is swatching with my not-yet-released yarn. This would be an substitute of Laine-Claude. This fabulous red is really this red...very deep, rich red. I happened to dye this color by coincidence, but I LOVE this red so I will try to make it again one day....

Lovely sock. The choice of cable and its placement are perfect!
