Socks on a Super Sunday

 

It's Superbowl Sunday here in the US which means it's a day for cooking all the things. All I hope to accomplish today is maybe another loaf of soap and some time with my many sock projects. In spite of everything going on around here I am happy to say I did manage to get a few inches on all of them this week. Peppercorn Static is my early morning knit. I can only handle dbl points when I am wide awake and alert anymore. 

The Arne and Carlos Lofotens keep me company while I cook dinner. They each take a turn in my apron pocket while I keep an eye on what's on the stove. 

Sunset Felici has been going everywhere with me and I mean everywhere. The Mister thinks I'm crazy to take them along when we are only going a few blocks but a round is a round and it adds up.

The poor handspun socks have received the least attention this week. I was turning the heel but since it's in a basket over in the spinning corner I forget about it. It's seen little action since the battle of the bathroom began. 

I know Musselbrugh's not technically a sock but it really is just a big toe up sock if you think about it so I am including it here. I'm past the increases-hallelujah. 

And....this is Friday's soap. It's Lemongrass and Bergamot.  Once again those pointy pitchers made a thready mess of my pretty colors so they are being retired. I'm going to have to figure out a better way to plop and drop in those colors if I want to be able to see them. 

While it's a miss on the single bars, the butterfly effect you get from two together is quite stunning. It always tickles me to see this when it happens.

 Yesterday I made some Honey Lemon soap and I kept it simple. Very simple. Yellow and white. Dump and run. That's it. That's all you need when it smells this darn good.
