Last night I had dinner with some friends and a bit of knitting after.  Everyone brought fabulous birthday gifts. A book I’d definitely planned to get, some of Webs gorgeous new hand-dyed sock yarn, some purple Koigu that I had in my hands a few weeks ago and put back, and some of my favorite batik fabrics from a local quilt shop I don’t get out to quite often enough. Thanks so much ladies, you all made gorgeous choices!

The Jelly Bean socks have been coming along rapidly even though it’s my secondary knitting project. This is the second sock nearing completion so I’ll soon be winding yarn and looking for another "mindless" knitting sock to work on at odd moments.
