Well, we have a winner.
\nBut it wasn’t in the race until yesterday.

\nMeet Frog Tree Alpaca in fingering weight. (4ply for the Aussies). I went through the stash yesterday and found this. It was sent to me in a swap by a lovely lady<\/a>, and for some reason I had it in my head that it was sportweight, which was why I hadn’t considered it. But I’m very glad I found it!
\nI’m crossing my fingers that it’s fourth time lucky. It’s still a bit wider than I’d hoped, but I think it’ll be closer to the finished size of 10″. Mind you, I’ve had to go down to fingering weight on 2.75mm needles to get there!
\nIn other news, the second Bloomin’ Feet sock is on the finish line.

\nI’ve actually come quite a bit further since then. The toe is finished, and all I need to do is the dreaded kitchener. Once I got up to there, I put the sock aside, and I haven’t touched it again. Give me cables, give me lace, give me tiny little yarn on tiny little needles, anything at all and I’m fine. Give me Kitchener, and I’m lost. I just can’t get it.
\nHow many pairs of socks have I knit?
\nI still need to go watch this video<\/a> to help me graft the toe, every single time<\/em>. I have no idea why, I just can’t get it.
\nThank heavens for the video.
\nIn other news, it rained again today. Well, it poured. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. Like every other Australian, I’m overjoyed when I see the rain. In fact, I think it’s rained more in the last two weeks than it has in all of the past year.
\nBut why does it do this just<\/em> as I’m walking out the door to go pick up Emily?
\n

\nDid I mention that Emily “borrowed” my umbrella last year, and it never made it home again? I was soaked through just getting to the car. But maybe it was just what I needed, I laughed for the next ten minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
