Skew is finished!






Finished my Skew socks and love, love, love them! Aren't they just lovely? They were very interesting to knit. I have been working on my What Happens in Vega$ socks. I am doing 2AAT on 2 circs and they have a definite left and right. I started them and knit right, left, right, left, which put the back of the right sock on the left and vice versa. I have it down now to right, left, left, then right. I am over halfway through the leg and other than a few minor errors which I am choosing to call "design elements," they are great.

Last Saturday I went to Yarnover, which was put on by the Minnesota Knitter's Guild. It was totally awesome. I spent the day in a class with Cat Bordhi and learned a lot. Even if I never knit the socks she was teaching (which I have already started, by the way) I learned so much from her about knitting in general that it was totally worth it. Am looking forward to going again next year. There was an amazing list of teachers and I would like to try more classes. And I had some nice yarn follow me home, too. And to top it off, it was an unMinnesota springlike day -- I had lunch outside in a short sleeve top with no jacket/coat/sweater and I was not cold -- on an mid April day in Minnesota this is unheard of!!
