Can’t Blog, Must Knit

April 5, 2007 By Carole

Remember that Schaefer Anne from Tuesday’s post? I’m turning it into Merino Lace Socks from the Interweave Knits Favorite Socks book. These are for my Bloomin’ Feet pal who says she likes blue, green and purple. I hope she likes lace, too.

However, Sock Madness Round 3 started yesterday morning and the Bloomin’ Feet socks have been cast aside for Painted Madness socks. I love this pattern even more than the previous two Sock Madness patterns!

That’s my progress as of this morning. Can’t blog. Must knit.

    That’s how I am right now…. too busy knitting (and, eh hem, reading a few blogs) to do a blog post! Love both socks! The Bloomin Feet sock… that’s just a lacey pattern, not laceweight yarn, right?? Soooo pretty. And I love the little ric-rac edging on the Sock Madness pattern!! Is that… could it be… October? If not, it could pass for her sister! ha

  15. Karen says

    April 5, 2007 at 9:07 am

    I love the edging on the Madness sock!

    You sure picked a perfect colorway for your BF pal.

    I didn’t get to knit at all this morning; no power at the house so it was too dark. Damn! I think I could have gotten to the heel turn, too. I stayed up until midnight because I couldn’t really get going on them until 8:30. Hopefully, this won’t turn into a multi-day power outage and I’ll be able to knit, knit, knit tonight!

    Yours are looking great! I really like this pattern, too, although I’m wishing I had chosen a different yarn.

  18. Kelli says

    April 5, 2007 at 9:57 am

    Wow! Your socks are looking awesome. I’m sure you’ll have the pair finished in no time.

    I like blue, green and purple (and that pattern, because I’ve knit it before). Surely you wouldn’t mind knitting a pair for me too? Since you have so much time on your hands?

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
