6/3/2019 Stash and requests
My stash now exceeds my lifetime (at least twice). I stopped at Fiddlehead Yarns (my lys) on Friday morning after working Thursday night. I wanted to buy the next four of the Knitted Wits National Park series. I was worried that if I waited until Monday, they'd be gone. Good thing I went. Some colorways only had three skeins remaining. 8 colorways down, 8 to go.

I knit socks like my mom knit mittens. They're quick and because I've done them a lot, good meditative knitting. I'm almost done with a pair of fleegle heeled socks using Hermione's Everyday sock pattern, and a Jitterbug Colinete color--Mint Chocolate--I'd bought before 2011.

I'm still not sure what cast-on I used on my Cables down the back socks. Some sort of cable cast on, but I forgot to take notes, worked two other projects and then forgot.

My youngest sister has requested some items to be knit by me. I'm almost delighted, except that they're sweaters and ponchos in (yippee) white. Machine washable and dryable. She had one sample of each, knit by our mom, that look brand new. Well, I bought white yarn a while ago. Guess I'll start knitting.
