Life's a beach!

I can't believe that it's been two weeks since I've posted - it's been a busy two weeks for both of us. I thought I'd post gradually over the next few days to bring the blog up to speed.

Rob's been to Las Vegas twice for work the past two weeks, and we were in Palm Springs last weekend for work as well. Rob's work had an open house for a new pre-fab house line they've designed. Check it out! They have a "design your own pre-fab home" module under the "models and pricing" that's fun to play with. It was a fun weekend of seeing friends we used to work with (I used to work at the same place as well).

I also had a ton of stuff going on at school. I had many papers due, a lesson I taught to the kindergarteners that got observed by my supervisor (which went well! yay!), and an all around busy time.

But, of course, I had to get some knitting time in! I have three FO's but here's the first one.


It's hard to decide what pose to use!
Pattern - basic top down sock, 56 stitches cast-on, size 2 needles
Yarn - Beach sock yarn from The Sweet Shop

I love these socks! Not only how the stripes turned out, but the softness of the socks as well. They're nice and smooshy and super comfy. Someone asked me in one of my previous posts how I got the yarn to stripe. I did nothing - it's self striping! I also did my first slipt stich heel, and I like the way it fits. I highly recommend this yarn. It's not superwash, and it's merino, so I'm going to treat these socks with care. Coming up tomorrow - going to the movies and trekking socks.
