The strike by the Drive Test folks has left me stranded without an M1 (learners permit) for my motorcycle class which would have started this week, so I have been left on the side of the road, so to speak, until they settle their issues and I can re-schedule my test. I'm all grumble, and no rumble!
And so I'm knitting while i continue to study my handbook, on yes - more socks, and this. Easy, peasy - I'm on the second sleeve and headed into the round and round 2x2 ribbing that serves as the collar and waistband, after just one weekend of knitting here and there. And even better, I used yarn reclaimed from a sweater a few years back that was in my stash, in much the same color as shown. My contrast is much more subtle - main color held double with a new yarn I found at Yarn Forward called Fame Trend, colorway 655.
On a plus note, the G-man has asked to see what kind of bike I'm eyeing (see it here) to purchase next spring and wants to know exactly where I plan to park it in the winters (that's what biker buddies with big garages are for - I know just the one I can bribe with a well loaded Starbucks coffee card!), so I'm taking that as a very good sign that he's accepted my newest hobby, God love him!
Knit on!
Kate
