We go to Cape Cod pretty much every summer (when we ask the kids if they'd like to go someplace different, they are horrified - kids (and me!) don't like change...), and I have them pick out some yarn to remind us of the trip. A souvenir they can wear, as it were, that isn't a t-shirt.
This past summer, we found a new place, which was lovely and I hope is still there when we go back. The kids decided to each get the same yarn, and now have matching socks. I finished Big Trouble's quite a while ago, and now Miss Serious can sport hers as well.
I also picked up some lovely Cascade sock yarn for myself (hand-painted yarn sucks me in every time, and this is really soft and lovely), which, after my regrettable winding experience of a few days ago, is turning into a really lovely sock. I guess I'm looking forward to spring, because all the colors I'm knitting with are cheery and bright, even if it's cold and gray and snowy outside.
* It was really cold and gray (and dark) this morning at 5:06 when the sub service called, even though I'm supposedly still not available for work....
