This week's spinning has been coming along beautifully. I love the striping effect. As I said in my last post, I'm experimenting with this by plying it with some laceweight.
I really like the effect I'm getting! This will be fun to knit up - probably into socks!
I've decided to start taking the bus to work - the fact that I can knit for an hour each way had nothing at all to do with that decision ;-) It seems to be working out pretty well. The bus is not crowded at all so I have two seats to myself. Pulling out my knitting was a little scary the first time - I don't really know why, but it was. I guess I'm just not used to knitting in public. So I took the plunge and started a sock with my latest yarn purchase. It's sKNITches superwash merino and is very very soft! The color is much brighter than shows here -bright turqoise, with brown and yellow. The Rowing Cat has claimed these as her own because she happens to have a headband in exactly these colors!
Two days on the bus and I'm on the cuff of the first sock - the pair should be completed by the end of this week! I can see the potential for lots of Christmas gifts being knit "on the road"!

Good on you for taking the plunge to knit in public. I'm still very hesitant. :)
Well done on the bus knitting, a great use of travelling time. the sock colours are nice.
Hooray for knitting in public! Super jealous you don't get sick in the bus. I can't knit in the car when we take road trips. :)
You buy the best sock yarn. :)
Glad to hear that you're knitting in public! I love using my commute to work on knitted projects. It's a relaxing way to prepare for work and then a relaxing way to decompress from work. ;)
