Jaywalking along
This is what I’ve been knitting all week with that orange Claudia’s Handpainted. Jaywalker socks! I can’t believe, after a week, I’m still not done with them. I’m a slow sock knitter! Oh well. Definately done in the next few days. Love the pattern. Love the color! Two great tastes that go great together. Doncha think?
Another Project Spectrummy thing I did yesterday was dye some yarn! I am going for yellow and orange. Hmmmm. Not so much. I only bought one packet of each color and totally ran out of Kool-aid. Obviously. So I think I will buy some more and try adding to it. I hope you can do that…Plus, I would like it to be a bit more saturated.
I wanted to show you something that my friend, Kathryn (Hi Kathryn!) sent me yesterday. It’s a tree sweater:
Erika from RedShirt Knitting knitted up a sweater for a sorry little tree in front of her house in Seattle, and then has documented the reaction to it over the weeks. It even made the cover of a local alternative newspaper! What an awesome idea! I would love to do that here in Spokane. I don’t think people would understand, though.
Guess what has been keeping me away from knitting the past week or so? House hunting. Yes, I’ve been house hunting. It’s quite the adventure! It’s unbelievable how quickly housing prices have risen in this town in the last year. But that’s a rant for the other blog 
. I think we may have found one so keep your fingers or (As Christie said) your knitting needles crossed for me! Will update you on the progress.
