I want to go on the sock cruise. Really really really really badly. Stefan will be two years old and change. Niels will be in school. I wonder what the chances are that Erik wouldn't mind if I went off on a cruise to Alaska without him.
Oh, and that he wouldn't mind me spending $1000 plus airfare! Maybe I can get my mom to go with me. She's always wanted to cruise to Alaska. Maybe the other knitters won't mind if she's quilting instead.
Ah, day dreams!
I also finished my Hokie Healing square and dropped it off at Purlescence for Emy to send off. Thanks for arranging that Emy!
When I dropped off the square I was talking to Chloe about ways to use bicolor brioche, or perhaps brioche stitch in general. I really like the way the knitted fabric looks with the two colors but I don't think I could ever wear it on my body. She asked about the brioche project that I started a while back I told her that I had to abandon it because I realized that even if I had enough yarn (that was looking uncertain) I could tell that the tank would look awful on me. "It would look good if you were a size 0," she said. I concur. So I think if I want to use this stitch again it will have to be more blanket squares or perhaps a scarf.
The yarn I used was Rowan Luxury Cotton DK which I definitely want to use to make something for myself! It was soft and lovely to knit with. I just need to work through some of my stash first.
