Footies

Well it's been a hectic month or so. My father-in-law passed away on April 2nd suddenly and left a lot of things to be looked after. Then my daughter moved home from university for the summer in the middle of April. She immediately decided that her old bedroom wasn't to her liking anymore and had to be changed. What started out as a coat of paint ended up being a re-do of everything including the flooring.

When we started cleaning out my father-in-laws house no one wanted his big oak table because it needed refinishing so I brought it home and started that project. It took a week of blood, sweat and tears but looks really great now. So great that I decided to re-do my cupboards too!

So knitting has been taking a back burner to all our home renovations but I have managed to finish a pair of footies using Sockotta Bold Stripes. I had no idea when I bought this yarn what it would look like when it was knit up and I am pleasantly surprised! I guess Bold Stripes should have been a tip off for me but I wasn't expecting the wide striping at all. These will make fun summer socks for work.
