It was a relief to be able to come home last night and just put my feet up and not go out.

I did some knitting

retrorib

I finished the first of the retro-rib socks and cast on for the second. This is knit from a Cherry Tree Hill handpainted sock yarn, I think the color is called "Monet."

I'm not as crazy about how it turned out as I thought I would be when I first cast on. I think busy variegateds like this one are best in slip-stitch patterns or some kind of pattern where they're incorporated with a plain solid color.

first words out of my mouth were "wow!" that is bright! see my socks from space bright! (and of course, being sleep and oxygen deprived, after hearing birds battling on my front porch, i almost typed "words" as "wirds.")

There's something about it that's really cheerful and happy, though.
