Socks

This morning the living room was actually chilly. The thermostat read 18°C, and I had to put on socks. I think the last time I wore socks was some time in early June. It’s gray and rainy and generally very autumnal outside. All those shawl lying about the house sure come in handy today. *brrr*

So, I did what one does on a rainy weekend, I took a long luxurious bath, knitted my way thru the second installment of the Pi shawl KAL and finished my first stash basket:

I actually sat out on the deck in the sun with my newest project for a couple of hours. I think the last time I ventured out of the shade if I didn’t have to was in back in May. ;o)

I’m working on a stash basket that’s going to be a prototype for a whole system of yarn storage I want to put up in the stairwell to the basement. In the spirit of: A wall is a shelf waiting to happen.
