Spoleto of Socks
I Go, You Go...SpoJo!
Yes, gentle readers, it's that time of year again. Spoleto USA and Piccolo Spoleto are merely hours away. For a little over two weeks, I simply get caught up in the rapture of the arts--Patrick, not so much, but sometimes, I drag him along. Last year, he discovered that he liked the music of the Renaissance, so there's hope....
This year, I plan to take things to another level by volunteering as a Spoleto Journalist or SpoJo. As a SpoJo, I get to blog, tweet, and flickr my Spoleto experience.
I'm looking forward to having a lot of fun and perhaps actually attending a fabulous party. Check out the Spoleto Today blog for the latest.
Keeping it Crafty--Spoleto of Socks
I'll be busy with Spoleto soon, but I always find a reason to keep it crafty. I almost always bring my knitting or crocheting to performances. As I work on my projects and take in the performances, I'm often struck by the fact that I'm watching someone create as I create. It's my Moment of Zen.
This year, I'm going to concentrate on finishing up some sock UFOs before Summer of Socks kicks in on June 21st. It's my Spoleto of Socks, if you will.
Here are the candidates
Eeek! One of these days, I need to get a good photo of that sock. It's really wonderful. I started the sock in Oct, 2007. Made one sock so far. I love the pattern and the ohsopretty Wollmeise, so I'm not sure why I stopped.
This sock is from last July. I love the sock as well as the Dream in Color Smooshy in Happy Forest. I thought the first sock was too tight, so I put it down, but I tried it on again today, and while it is a little tight, it fits great, so I'll work on #2.
I started them last May during last year's Spoleto. I really adore these socks and found them a nice knit, but came close to running out of yarn, so I ordered some more, but in the meanwhile, got turned around by other projects. As you can see, I don't have far to go.
I probably started this last winter, and this will be my fourth pair. I just need a super easy sock to work in while I make the others.
Not Dancing with Jason
Jason Taylor placed second on Dancing with the Stars. Of course I wanted him to win, but I'm okay with the results. However, it seems that the Dolphins want no part of him.
Stay tuned!
