I had to share two pictures of happenings in the kitchen. This past weekend DH came in from working outside and proclaimed it was hot. He went into the kitchen and started doing something but wouldn't tell me what. A few minutes later he brought me this. OMG it was awesome. Some of the ingredients I remember are lemon juice, seltzer, mint, ice and some vodka.
This turned into this
a beautiful (if I must say so myself) Fococcia Bread.
I also joined a KAL on Raverly from the group Socks From the Toe Up using Wendy Johnson's book by the same name. Even though I design my own socks, I just had to get this book. If you are interested click on the picture to the right under On My Nightstand. I also put it out to the Yahoo KAL group to see if anyone was interested there. I hope we get lots of knitters to join in.
I am using Pagewood Farms St. Elias in the Watermelon colorway on size 0, 35" circs. using the Magic Loop method, 2 at a time. I increased the toe to 2" as I long a long covering on my toes before the pattern starts. I was also afraid that the lacey pattern would rub in my shoes. I hope you join us, even if you are brand new Wendy has awesome instructions in her book. Wendy will be in Charlotte NC this coming weekend for classes and book signings, I'll be heading down on Sunday. I can't wait!!!
Hugs!!!
Namaste!!!
Oh Cat I sure wish we had connected when you were in NY cause I need help learning how to do two at one time, I know the magic loop part, but the two socks on one needle, yeah I am so lost there. I hoep to start my socks tonight. I joined the Ravelry group in April when I got Wendy's book. But I had forgotten until you reminded me.

I've never done a sock toe up or with circs. I've tried, and I can't get it started. I've printed out all the sure fire instructions etc, and it just doesn't work for me. Maybe because I really love my top down dpn ones :-)

That bread looks so good!!! Glad you managed to take a pic before it was devoured.
I've only just started sock knitting this year and I've made 1 cuff-down sock, and the rest after that have been toe-up. I really like toe-up, and keep telling myself I should give cuff-down another chance.
