Laundry Day

This morning I managed to finish off the socks I started during our house-purchasing/selling marathon.









The pattern is "just plain socks", from my head, 56 sts on US #2s. Boring to knit, but extremely useful.






Here they are drying next to a freshly washed pair of Brookline socks. Why wash just one pair when you can wash two?


On another topic--have you any idea how hard it is to track down unsweetened Kool-Aid packets in November? Here's what I've collected so far:


The colour I most want to find is "black cherry". If you check here, you'll see that there are lots of interesting shades you can make with it. And I might need quite a few packets, since it takes a lot of Kool-Aid to saturate wool. There's still time; I have about another 70g of fleece to spin. Now I need to contemplate what to work on next (spinning doesn't count, Natalie!).
