I've been sitting on pins and needles since the 1st.

Waiting for the arrival of my

Knitters Brewing Company kit

for

Bridge of Roses

[click]

It came yesterday - just 96 hours later - - - - - - -

Wendy sent it Priority Mail ! ! ! 

Here's the wonderful yarn 

Tip Jar for the sox

Pink Lady for the Roses

Grasshopper for the stems

L♥ve the Stitch Marker to commemorate our KAL 

So excited about Bridges I know they're going to be a great knit.

It wasn't long after I ripped open the pkg,

the instructions were set aside and Hubby and I set about

winding this into cakes.

Didn't take long

so grabbed my #1 circs

and began my swatch

I'm torn between the recommended #1s and

yikes ! ! ! !  a #0

My gauge is not quite on,

however,

my swatch was a back and forth stockinette

and not the round and round knitting I'll be doing.

Will probably go ahead and do the toe [since this pair is toe up]

with the #1.

Then re-check my gauge and decide whether to switch size or not.

Knitting has been my main entertainment this week.

Finished my Hang Ten 

and posted to

Wendy and Kelie's Sock-aholics Rav [just click to visit Rav] group 

a day before the deadline.  Whopee ! ! ! 

I've been listening to their podcast [click]  while composing this post.

I am a mulit-tasker, afterall.

stay cool

hugs
