If I’m being truthful, I still have 4 pairs of socks on the needles. Not all are active. I love the Cadence socks, but….uggh. It is the second time I have attempted to knit these socks. They are a bit tight. Not sure at this time if I am frogging these or will pick them up later. Second sock I am ripping back out the toes, heels and cuff. This is not such an issue. I am almost done and will post them when done. I just have one toe to finish up. The third pair just needs a heel put in and those will be complete. The fourth pair was a diversion of the other three. I am just past the afterthought heel. I hope to have these finished by the week’s end (minus of course the Cadence).

I needed a break from socks so to complicate the matter further, I cast on the Dryad Scarf by Brooklyn Tweed. Gorgeous cables that look complicated but are not so much. Just cabling on every right side row, with a total of 60 stitches.

Here is where I am

Here is where I want to be. Right now scarf if measuring out at a pee wee length of 11″. Gotta ways to go.

Also, I have yet another languishing scarf. This is the Guernsey Wrap, another Brooklyn Tweed Scarf. I started this sometime last spring and knit on it until the heat became unbearable. I am knitting with Paton’s Yarn. I used only coupons to buy the yarn. This was a bargain. The yarn is a bit rustic I know, but that is how I saw this scarf to be. I am half way done now. A really easy and repetitive knit. Relaxing. My picture appears a bit bluish, but it is really a beautiful granite grey.

Here is what it will be (fingers crossed) when it is done.

And to close, a quote from one of my favorite authors….

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
