Pride Sock

My current purse knitting is accidently on brand with Pride and the month of June. I got a lot of comments on it this past weekend at PB’s gymnastics practice. I am really cruising through the second send of rainbow stripes!

I am calling these my 2023 GFOA socks as I started them at a conference but the name may have to change. They are my comfort knitting of late as my life got very stressful very suddenly. I am finding peace is watching the rainbow materialize.

The tube is getting very very long. To keep them wearable I don’t think I can do the full second rainbow repeat as they will be too tall and too tight on my calves. I am adding decreases to account for width and I’m just playing it by ear as I visually see the sock.

Meanwhile Jellybean and I are off to some Juneteenth celebrations and festivities! Happy Knitting!!

Let’s Go Home Knitting

My brain is full and I’m ready to head home tomorrow from my work conference. My travel socks didn’t get as much work as I had hoped at the conference. A lot of the days I chose not to carry my backpack and just a small clutch so I could move around the conference better. Which means less knitting but a healthier back and less foot pain.

I have seven hours of travel tomorrow so my goal is to double this progress and at least get through the full rainbow. Do you think I can make it?

Happy Knitting!!

Airport Art

I snagged some cool photos on my airport adventures yesterday! Portland, OR had some art installations on the wall and my head snapped around when I realized it was crochet!! (Oh and the sun was shining…it was a great PNW day!)

I know the PNW is all about the fibery goodness. But this takes the cake. I was was one of many admiring the handiwork. From a distance you can barely tell this is crochet!

I snapped a photo of the artist information in case anyone else wanted to check her out!

Happy Crafting!!
