I’ve been neglectful showing you my sock progress. So, here you go.

The two socks are tag-teaming each other. I’ve been working them alternately in stages. This way, I know for sure that they’re the same length and all that–always a good thing–but each sock moves along fairly quickly. In other words, I feel like I’m making more progress more quickly than I do when I do both socks at the same time, as I usually do.

I can’t remember the color of the yarn any more, but it’s Koigu KPPPM yarn. It’s been in my stash for well over a year. I had wound it into a ball last year when I wanted to use just a little of it for contrasting toes and heels on another pair of socks, and it was that time that the label sort of disappeared. So, yeah, no idea what the color is. But it IS very pretty–all shades of golden-y brown.

Well, I mean, of course it’s pretty. It’s Koigu. There might be a couple of shades that I like less than others, but are any of theirs actually ugly? Yeah. I didn’t think so.

Tomorrow, Chappy and I are having guests tomorrow–Risa and the twins. For the last couple of years, we’ve bought each other coffee as a little celebration for each others’ birthdays, but this time, she thought it would be nice to see Chappy . . . which, you know, I’m never going to disagree with! . . . So the three of them are coming for lunch and for some birthday cake, which I baked when I got home from work today. Oh yeah, and there should be some spinning and knitting, too. If the weather cooperates (i.e., isn’t too hot and sticky), we might let the kids (which includes Chappy, you understand) play in the yard. Or we might stay inside where it’s cool and where the Disney movies are. Or we might go back and forth . . . the important thing is that there are options and we’ll have fun no matter what, huh?

So, right now, there are some severe thunderstorms booming in the distance, so I’m going to keep this short tonight. Have a great weekend, everyone!
