Lauren is home with the baby and all seems to be going well. Reese is quite taken with him, hugging and kissing him all the time! I still don't have any pictures yet, but will post them when I get some! I am going over to Saint John on Wednesday. With John arriving home today and a dinner party I had planned for months on Tuesday ( out of town friends here for a couple of weeks, John away for much of it), I am staying here until then. I am really looking forward to going and seeing the little ones. And the big ones too of course! And Lola!
I am working on the Francie sock and have had to tink back a couple of times. I wouldn't be worrying about it so much, but the pattern has to match on the second foot and I keep losing track on whether I am on a shaping row or not. And I don't always remember to count my stitches. The stitches get moved around on the shaping rows too, which is confusing. So I am still getting to the toe decrease on the first sock.
On Friday a friend and I met our friend in Lunenburg for lunch at the Trattoria della Nonna where we had a lovely leisurely lunch, lots of chatting and laughing and then did some shopping. And look what came home with me. They knew I was doing the Summer of Socks 2008 and wanted to make sure I had enough in my stash to knit socks for 2 months! The colours are lovely and I love the names. Ariquipa by Estelle is the brand name. Check out the colours!
