Hopscotch auditions and a natty bit of knitting
Yesterday the extra Terrain fabric I ordered arrived, along with some Kona solids. I had a crazy and delusional idea that once the fabric arrived I would just know what to do with my Hopscotch quilt – er, hmmm, yes…. well I think the grey has to go….and I’m quite tempted by the deep purple, but then again I could do something really psychedelic with all the oranges I somehow seem to have accumulated (despite not being an orange girl in the slightest)…
The end result. No decision made. I think the only way forward is going to be to start making up some blocks and then maybe I’ll know. It’s a strange one, really it is. I’m a dithering wreck, which those who know me will tell you is totally out of character, because I’m normally really decisive and I can usually get a pretty good picture of what I want in my head. I suppose that what people say about Terrain being deceptive and harder to use than you think it’s going to be might well be right…..
Anyway, I did what I always do when in doubt…
Yes, you’ve got it.
I started knitting socks.
Zora created by Regina Satta. A pretty straightforward sock, with some very nice cables – enough to make it pretty without making anything complicated. You can find it for free here
The yarn is Lana Grossa Merino Print. A little bit funky. Unfortunately it has been chewed in places….if you know what I mean (and no, I don’t have a dog). I’m wondering if I may need to to get all the stash out and do a major fumigation exercise. Every knitter’s nightmare.
Maybe there was only one little moth and it ate its fill and died or went a long way away.
My eyes are pinned!

I’m sorry but this question has been bubbling up inside me for ages now.
I think I need you to explain to me why you (and a million other people) knit socks. I knit too, but have never been struck by the desire to knit socks. They’re all very nice, but I just don’t get it! So please, tell me why?
