Sunday sky, because I was out yesterday and didn’t have my camera. (Again!)

\nThe weather was positively glorious<\/em> this weekend. It’s like Spring has already sprung. The sun is warm, the breeze is slight, it’s been perfect.
\nLet’s hope it lasts.
\nThe Twisted Flower sock has progressed nicely.

\nThe picture is deceptive, but I wanted you all to see my blue toenails, courtesy of Tammy<\/a>. She sent me a fantastic package this week, full of goodies, including the nail polish.
\nAnyway, the sock actually looks like this now.

\nAnd from the back

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI love this sock! I have rather wide ankles, (actually, I hardly have ankles, my legs turn straight into my feet with no shaping) and broad feet, but I like my socks to be tight in the feet. I also usually go down a needle size from the recommended size, because my gauge is usually loose. So I did the leg on 2.5mm needles instead of 2.75mm as for the size Large, and I did the foot on 2.25mm needles, and worked the instructions for the size Small.
\nIf I knit them again, I’ll go down another needle size. They fit well, but I’d like them to be just a little bit tighter. I thought about going down a needle size for the next sock, but it would drive me crazy to have two different socks, so I’ll do the second one the same as the first.
\nAnd the Angora Supreme sweater has seen some action. I knit some, I frogged some, I knit some again.
\nI started the raglan decreases, but I didn’t like them.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI wasn’t happy with the wide “seam” I was getting, so I ripped back all the raglan shaping and restarted it. I tried to convince myself that I could live with it, but I knew I couldn’t.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI much prefer it now!
\nMind you, if this weather keeps up, I won’t get to wear the sweater until New York!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
