The Solstice Slip Sock Progress

Yes, I did make it back from Atlanta. Boy, what a culture shock - to be in the middle of such a big city when you come from such a small town. Even though I did grow up in Southern California and went to the L.A. area many times to shop, I never stayed overnight in the heart of L.A. The hotel that we stayed at in Atlanta was the Hyatt Regency. It had 22 floors, and we were on the 15th floor. It was like a small city just by itself with several restaurants, a gift store, conference rooms, bars, ets. There was even indoor access to a mall that was right next to the hotel. I was on total crowd overload by the time I got back home. If I can figure out how to get pics from my cell phone to the computer, I will post some of the pics I got while I was there.

I did get alot of knitting done on the plane. These socks ( The Solstice Slip from theRocking Sock Club) are going much better than the last pair I tried to knit, and I am really enjoying them.

I am really likeing the wrap and turn method for doing the heel. When I do the heel flap method, I am always so excited about getting on to the foot, that I forget to turn the heel and end up re-doing it. With this pattern, you can't forget to "turn" the heel, and there aren't any stitches to "pick up" to do the gusset. All-in-all, it seem to be going very quickly.

Forgive me this silliness, but when I was looking at my work, there was just such a perfect little hole, I had to put something in it. Doesn't that look like a cozy spot for a little "critter" to nest??

Okay, I have to get back to working on secret projects. Time is growing short, need.. to... work ...hard ...and... fast ...(and not make any mistakes!!!!) More on double secret project in the not too distant future..................................
