AnotherPurl :: a knitter's life

A pocket full of happinesses (edited because it is working again)

The third time trying to post about my happy sock fun did indeed work, so I am editing the message to indicate my true levels of joi and happiness (if they aren't the same).

Maintaining the list of fun fun!
1. I was on vacation in Toronto (will post about that soon).
2. I came back to mr. post man indicating a package.
3. I had my last sewing class.
4. I got my sockapaloooza socks.

The Explanator:
I got home from vacation on Friday when mr. post man was dropping off mail. He didn't have ours, but he said there was a package for me and that he would bring it by on Saturday. Saturday was my last sewing class (I have a skirt that is nearly finished and I will eventually post about), and I wondered off with my sewing machine, hoping my package would be in when I got home (thank you, guard hubby). It was here! It was beautiful! And here it is in picture glory

The pictures (with special link clicking):

See me wear the socks! (Thank you, Ms. Molly!)

A brief Toronto bit (I will start vacation rambling tomorrow most likely). I bought a lot of yarn. 'Nuff said.

My own SubwayKnitter moment

Saturday I was on my way to Davis to eat muffins and drink coffee at Diesel Cafe. I was knitting a vibrant (codeword neon) pink cabled Malabrigo scarf for Dulaan and I saw a couple of older than me women having a chat in what sounded like... Korean?

One of them came over and started talking about the scarf and touching it (I couldn't tell what she was saying, but I am pretty sure it wasn't English with a thick accent), and then the other lady came over and took my knitting from me and rapidly did a knit row across. I think she wanted to show me how to knit continental style, but either way it was too fast for me to really see what she was doing.

I said that it was OK to do it the way I was doing it, because both ways worked and we had a slow conversation about how the woman and her daughter both really liked the shade of pink I was working with. It was cute and fun and soon I was at my destination.
