When Life Gets You Down

Put on the socks that Dave knit from his hand-dyed, hand-spun yarn.  I love these socks so very much.  The fit is perfect, (and he didn’t even make them for me, specifically.  It’s magic.  They are magic.) and they feel so good on my feet.  I’ll say it again:  thanks, Dave.

If the magic socks weren’t enough to cheer me, get a load of this hand-spun yarn from the Cheeky Red Head.  I won it for donating to Craftlit.   CRH didn’t send the yarn all by itself, though; she included adorable, nay, beautiful stitch markers, too.  Thank you so much!!

Would you like to see what else I found in my mailbox of late?   I thought so.  This is the October installment of the Year of the Sock club from Erin.  She does rock the dyepot, don’t you agree?

My crisis of confidence has passed.  I spoke with my dissertation chair, and the things that were on my mind have been resolved.  Neal advises me to get a good night’s sleep when there is turmoil in my life.  It helped, as did a few beers on Saturday night.  Dancing with Blog-free Kim was also a stress buster.  I want to thank everyone for their kind comments.

I’m getting excited for Rhinebeck.  I don’t think my Lady of the Lake jacket will be done in time, but I’m making good progress on it.  I’ll post a current picture before the end of the week for you Blogger Bingo players.
