Not too much activity these days at Socks Made On 88, we are enjoying the summer slouch. MrB is working away though time to time on the continuing knitting up socks on the Van Gogh series of colourways. I think he may have whipped up oh I mean cranked out a pair of socks today/this evening in between other jobs and watching the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. The Van Gogh he chose today was the The Bedroom in Arles. I am really amazed with the creations from this yarn. I like them, I like them, I like them!
Amidst our summer slouch, we want to do some camping soon. With that being said, when we head out we are also taking along some knitting tools,aids and patterns as we are going to stop in on a fellow CSMer and MrB is going to give him some hands-on instruction. They are owners of an Erl also and we are going to do our good deed to pass along some knowledge to get him going to the point of some smooth sailing :-) We look forward in visiting their farm operation, and meeting the whole family. It will be a day of learning and a day of friendship!
I will update you on the #3 Van Gogh socks and our hands-on visit there after!
