The Simplicity of a Sock



So as of this morning, everything I am working on became too big to walk around with.

The Tranquility Afghan is thankfully way to big to fit in my purse
The Helmsley Men's Vest #1 - has only the neck band to do, so a little awkward to work on while travelling
The Helmsley Men's Vest #2 - front done, back in progress, still no way it is purse worthy

And so I find myself looking for a simple project that will fit in my purse, and after many months of complex, large, time consuming projects I find my self enthralled at the thought of mindlessly knitting around in a circle, over and over and over again.

The Simplicity of a Sock - my new meditation for today.

Paton Kroy Sock in Mulberry - just cast on, loving the colours.

Tranquility

Well, after 6 weeks the first part of the Tranquility Home Spa collection has been released.

It is made with Knitpicks Comfy Worsted, which is an amazing yarn. It is a Cotton Blend, and has an absolutely luxurious feel to it. I am currently working on the co-ordinating afghan which should be completed by Mid September.

I am also working on the Helmsley Men's vest which will also be released by the end of September (just in time for vest season). The Helmsley is an updated slim fitting vest, perfect for todays urban fella.
