Sunday, March 23, 2003:

When I went to The Studio--my new local yarn shop--last week, I saw some clear knitting bags, and I kept thinking about them, so I went back yesterday and bought one:

Clear Knitting Bag

I really love it. It's made of heavy clear plastic with a zipper top, and is the perfect size for a sock project. I've got two balls of Fortissima, needles, the sock in progress, plus a pair of folding scissors, a row counter, a tape measure, a crochet hook, and a couple of tapestry needles inside. Oh, and a pad of Post-It notes and a pen to write down what I'm doing so I can make the second one the same as the first.

The current sock is from Fortissima Colori Denim.

Blue Sock

I'm making it shorter than the other pair (the purple ones that I finished except for grafting the toe), and I'm using a half size smaller needle--1-1/2 (2.5mm). I think I just like the fact that it's a "1/2."

I only bought two balls of sock yarn yesterday--some black and white Regia Cotton. I was telling someone the other day that I'd counted up, and at my current rate of knitting, I already have enough sock yarn to last me about six months. I looked at the stock pretty thoroughly yesterday and they didn't have anything I couldn't live without, so I think I'm okay for awhile.
