over a bubble of stiff air, or maybe it
was a heavy dust mote. I didn't fall.. but I reached out to steady
myself, and landed my hand on one of my sock club bags.
I had been heading to the stash to find
some yarn for a scarf—a nothing fancy scarf—but fate (a trip, but
no fall) intervened. I picked up the sock club bag my hand landed
on and started socks—instead of a scarf.
The yarn (KnitPicks Essentials ) came
to me as a swap—I am not generally enamored by this sort of color
way, with colors spiraling round. But I do like the colors! And the
yarn is super soft.

The stitches are flying off the
needles. Already 4 inches knit (and some knitting done on the secret
socks, too!) I am sort of amazed with the progress I am making. The
knitting is effortless. Tomorrow will be an all day out of the
house (but not all day busy) day. I am sure to get a good deal of
knitting done. But nothing will posted—all most certainly, there will be no
inter-net access. Who knows how much progress will be made by
Saturday!
I have been making a diligent effort
for some time now to post at least 5 days a week—usually Monday to
Friday, with an occasional missed day—which usually results in a
week-end post, to make up.
I only mention this, because I am about
2 months (or less) away from making a monumental post (my
1,000th!)--And I am beginning to think about giving away
some prizes to mark the occasion. Keep watching for details.

I'm glad it didn't turn into a fall. I love blue socks, and agree with you about the color vs. the spiralling in the sox. Nothing like a plain, quick sock for a sense of accomplishment.
