Poor Mom

My mom has a broken wrist. On the first day of her vacation, she obsessively cleaned the house, then the garage, where she promptly slipped in the water she was cleaning up and injured her paw. It's the dominant one. So, the quilting and learning a new piano piece are right out. As are driving, picking up the grandbaby (toddler), writing, mousing, cooking, cleaning, drying oneself off, and well just use your imagination. Actually, try not using your dominant hand for one hour of regular life. It's a real eye opener. I don't envy her. We find out sometime next week if she needs surgery. I may be taking another trip to Tucson. We'll see.....

The week in socks

First, we saw Rush play in Vancouver, WA. Fantastic show, Neil Peartt is still a god. That man can make drums sing, I swear! While there, and in transit to and from, I worked on these socks for my Hubby. They are the much maligned Motley Hue from BMFA . Plain ribbed sock, for his pleasure.









I finished a pair of Gypsum, also from BMFA. Plain vanilla sock pattern with a knife edge hem, knit from the toe up. I like the striping that some of these yarns provide, and a plain sock just shows so well.












And finally, a pair of Rivendell, that I have been working on for several weeks, again in BMFA, this time it's Tanzanite. I really like the detail of this pattern and can hardly wait for the book to come out. I hope Amazon gets it soon.








Here's a close up of the leg/cuff. Just wonderful.
