For my sweet sockpal, I'd like to introduce you to your new socks! I'll be introducing you personally in a few short weeks, of course, but here's a little preview for you:
Regia Canadian Colors in Admiral (nice navies and neutrals with just a touch of Carolina Blue in there), size 1 Crystal Palace dpns. Top down generic sock, with short-row heels (made deeper with the mini-gusset described here, and a wedge toe. Sometimes, a plain stockinette sock with a fun stripey yarn can be a delightful thing to knit. I hope they keep your toes warm!
I also finally finished another pair of socks that were destined to become knee socks at one time, and I would have had enough yarn, except that this yarn had the. longest. repeat. ever. Yup, that blue on the heel only comes back in at the very top of the ribbing. They're structurally the same as the sockpal socks, but done toe-up instead.
Opal I-lost-the-ballband-in-a-nasty-washing-incident, size 1 bamboo dpns.
As for the rest of the weekend, I think I'm all set. Book? Acquired at 12:50am this morning after a fun B&N Potter extravaganza. Other book? Acquired while I was waiting for it to be time to line up. House scarf yarn? Check. I'll come up for air later.
