Today I am a Princess!

I'm taking today as a "vacation" day. You wouldn't think that a retired person would need a vacation day, but I do. I need to get out of my routine just to refresh myself.
So, no dyeing, reskeining, or etsy stuff today other than taking care of orders.
I plan on a little bit of housework: laundry, dinner (tuna noodle casserole), and lots and lots of knitting and reading.

And, get this, I'm going to wear pretty clothing, aka a lacy shawl over whatever I wear. No jeans, a nice pair of slacks, pretty socks, well I always wear pretty socks, a nice sweater. I shall be a Princess!

My new sock is done. I'm working on the second one. I'm thinking of called it Curves, but I'm not thrilled with the name. What do you think? It's a blah name for a spiffy sock. Any ideas would be welcome.





Two great names so far; Berry Roundabouts and Wink. Thanks, Erin and Melissa.


Pam,you look gawgeous in them jammies.

Ambermoggie: that's another great idea. And your comment just made me realize that I forgot to mail out your yarn for your hospice socks.


Mamamay - I bet you look mighty cute. Preggers ladies always look cute even when they hit the beached whale moment.

Birdy - What a great name! I'll save that one for a lovely lacy scarf.


Hi, Knitt Vritti - Happy Heart Day to you and yours!

Amanda - Happy Valentine's Day to you!


Emily - Thanks. They are a lot of fun to knit.

Those socks are great! How about calling them Berry Roundabouts? I hope you enjoy your princess day, we all need one from time to time.

How about "Undulations"?

As for pretty clothes, I'm wearing my ladybug jammies today.

I love days like that. I have a hard time dressing pretty right now due to the fact that I am pregnant and well too big to fit my pretty clothing... Only bad thing about being 6 month big, still small enough not to feel huge and ugly but too big to fit your cute cloths!

I have to agree on the sock name. I don't visualize your sock when i hear the name. How about Marquise. Just reminds me of the cut.

What about Baile Folklorico?

It's a Mexican folk dance and the women dance with full skirted dresses that they swish around--it's beautiful and right off that's what i saw when I saw you're lovely socks.

Here's a wiki article with a pic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baile_Folklorico
