Dancing socks done
Finally! This week has been slow going, because it’s getting close to the end of the semester and work is piling up. I redid the toe for the first sock, and all is well. I have a spare skein of this yarn, and have no idea what to do with it. They don’t look so bad once complete, no?
I have to now start the vest for P., but am distracted by an idea for a cap, or more correctly, a balaclava cap. In India these are called Monkey Caps and are universally available (although not among the young and hip) as winter wear. The minute the temperature goes down to 10 degree celcius the older generation brings these out while going for their walks! They are functional and warm, though, and walking in the city this evening in the freezing wind I wished I had a monkey cap. I found this pattern from Knitter’s Fall 2003, but it reminds me too much of something out of Monty Python, for some reason. So let’s see what I come up with.
