So long between posts and I have hardly anything to prove that I have been knitting. To tell the truth, I have also been ripping almost as much. For some reason, I am not able to cast on a project these days without at least a few false starts. I am still participating in the Solid Socks knitalong even though I am finishing my socks with some delay. For April purple socks, I casted on Kai-Mei from Cookie A`s long awaited book Sock Innovation.



The pattern is of course brilliant and compared to other Cookie A`s patterns pretty simple. I was able to knit two socks at the same time without any trouble.  Thanks to all the ribbing, this pair also seems to  fit really well. I think my new Kai-Mei socks  might become one of my  favorite pairs to wear.



Pattern: Kai-Mei from Sock Innovation by Cookie A.
Yarn: Tosh Sock in Logwood
Needles: Magic Loop on  #1 (2.25mm) Knitpicks Harmony



Last Sunday, hubby and me went Fiber Frolicking to Windsor, Maine. It was a beautiful sunny day for a short trip and an afternoon outdoors. I was not looking for a major stash enhancement and only came back with one skein of yarn from String Theory Hand Dyed Yarns  which were new to me. Their booth really caught my attention at the fair, they had lovely colors in lots of different weights and fibers. 



The rest of the time at the Frolic was mostly spent admiring and petting all the patient animals that were there to be pet and admired. The highlight of the trip for me was when I got to hold a two week old baby goat. I wish I had a picture of it falling asleep in my arms.
