Perpetually Behind
That’s the story of my life in two words. I’m sure it happens to everyone now and then. I feel like this, oh, about 80% of the time.
During breaks from the Yarrow Ribbed socks, I resumed the Cropped Cardigan project. I feel so bad for neglecting it (and for far longer than I intended).

I’ve been feeling a bit scattered lately. Since finishing these socks, I haven’t cast on a new pair yet. Shocking! I need to remedy that soon.
You will notice the differently colored toes—that’s right, I ran out of yarn.

(If you’re here just for the winner announcement, skip to the rest of the post.) I meant to include this in yesterday’s post for any interested local knitters and/or readers:
Did you know Atlantic Books at the MOA is holding a going-out-of-business sale (most things are discounted 40%)? I stopped by yesterday and the shelves were pretty messy, but I found a few gems: Yarnplay, Knitting Nature, Vogue Stitchionary 3, and Simply Baby. I noticed at least one copy each of Stitchionary 3 and Knitting Nature still available; other books I remember seeing include Knit 2 Together, Knit Fix, Itty Bitty Hats, Morehouse Farm Merino Knits and Suss Cousins’ Home Knits. (I don’t know if the chain is going out of business, or if it’s just this store.)
I really enjoyed reading everyone’s name suggestions for the Trekking XXL 76 during the “What’s in a color?” contest. They were all wonderful and inspiring. I could never choose just one. Lets see who the Random Number Picker chose.

Two quick things before paw business: The “What’s in a color?” (Contest #5) Winner will be posted tomorrow! And, several people asked about the yarn I’m using for the Yarrow Ribbed socks. The yarn is the Calzetteria shown here, specifically the Venice colorway. I finished them a couple days ago and will post FO pictures this week. :)
La’s having a DeFeet of Cuteness contest. I’m kind of late, but I couldn’t resist posting a few good pictures I got of Munchkin:
