Conversations.
conversation 1
S: When are your nights off next week?
Me: Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, Sunday.
S: Wanna do something Monday night?
Me: Can't. I have knitting group.
S: Oh. Well, how about Tuesday.
Me: Um... different knitting group. I could do Saturday night.
S: I already have plans. What are you doing Sunday?
Me: hmm... well... yeah, I will be knitting on the Mall.
Conversation 2
C: You should take Wednesday off from work so we can go out to dinner.
Me: I can't. I'm already taking nights off next week.
C: Why? what are you doing?
Me: knitting groups.
C: You took off from work so you can knit.
Me: well, yes. I did.
Said during both conversations:
You like your new knitting friends better than you like me. (they were both kidding, I think...)
Obviously my non-knitting friends just don't understand!
So, yes lots of knitting happenings around here next week!
Monday 4/3 7 p.m.- Columbia knitters night at Borders Cafe in the Target plaza off of 175.
Tuesday 4/4 7 p.m. - Baltimore Knitting Meetup Group at Panera in Towson.
Sunday 4/9 2 p.m. - Lolly's Knitting on the Mall in DC
And speaking of knitting...
(yes, I desperately need to vacuum)
Toe up Socks!
Pattern: Knitting 2 socks at one time on 1 long circular needle
Yarn: Knitpicks Parade in Forest
Needles: Addi Turbos 40" size 2.5
I did the entire cuff and leg in K2/P2 rib.
These were a fun knit. I really like the 2 at the same time idea. Really helps kill that second sock syndrome! And the toe up was fun too, even though the heel was vexing me for a while. (Again, I cannot count) These came out really thick. They are going to be great winter socks. Not terribly comfortable on a 65 degree spring day, such as today!
What's next?
Well, I think I'm going to attempt the Pomatomus socks on Knitty. I would like to stress ATTEMPT. As I have never really done lace before and I haven't much practice reading charts, this will be an adventure.
I did a little bit of swatching tonight at work with my Sundara Sock yarn.
I'm not getting gauge, so I'm going to go down a needle size. I LOVE the colors in this yarn! My picture sucks and does not do it justice. (I hope you are all impressed with the fact that I did a swatch!)
Ok, I'm off to bed. I leave you with this little Project Spectrum picture:
I took a bunch of Red and Pink pictures at the theatre tonight. After I figure out how to do something cool with them all, I will post them here.

Have fun on your knitting dates! I am so envious. I wish I had knitting dates. Mine are all virtual. LOL!
Your socks look so great! Try the Pomatomi or whatever. Once you get used to knitting from a chart, you will be annoyed if you are not given a chart. You will be tempted to make charts for everything, including stockinette rectangles. Just kidding about that last bit. :)
I second Lolly's post! You are one fast sock knitter!
I love your red legs pic! Too cool!
I think you can do Pomatomas with no problem!! Lace knitting is really pretty easy once you get used to working from a chart!
Oh & thanks for doing the meme! It's such a fun way to get to know everyone better!
What about KnitTogetherBaltimore that meets at the Timonium Borders every Sunday at 2 pm? Are you going to start coming to that too? Sometimes we throw caution to the wind and meet on Friday nights too.
You have thoroughly impressed me with your swatchiness!
And go for the Potomotnougshoboixyous socks... you can do it on your own. I mean, it's not like you know a knitting teacher or... well, Eunny, who could help you if you got stuck.
