knitting tonight.

tonight, the montreal knits group is
having a between-meet meet.
there's a big chance i won't be able to
attend Next week's meeting,
so i am ultra happy about tonight.

I will be bringing a new project; and will want
to show & tell;
and more importantly: Ask questions.

Questions ? yes: i had a timid query about making something.
Note that this is NOT a request.
Nobody came out and ASKED for anything.
Which i found charming and quite touching.

As you know, i have a new love for my knit socks.
i think they're the most fabulous thing to wear.
my guy has heard me say this about 14,000 times.
since i've just learned to knit socks recently, he's had
a steady stream of hearing about My Socks.
He's never before wanted a hand knit garment of any
kind by me. Politely thanked
me for my last offer & said no, thanks.
which is fine by me, i'd rather people say the truth,than have
me knit something that never gets worn.

I asked " would you ever want your own hand knit socks ? "...
(yes, i was prepared for the answer to go either way).
and timidly, he responded :
"you'd Make ME Socks ?!!".
yes, of Course i'd make him socks.

i started last night. they're going to be green.
he said no thank you to stripes,
patterns or contrasting toes or heels.
Just one colour.
Ok, then.
glad i chose a colour that i love. Yes, he loves it too.

the knitting companion loves the yarn.
Of course he does. it's merino.
