Knitting Weekend and My Prize Arrived


I was busy knitting this past weekend. I finished the first Serengeti sock (pictured in previous post) and started a new pair with my yarn I won from Laura. This is Cider Moon Glacier in the Istanbul colorway. 48 stitches on US4 dpn's (knitting it plain and it's knitting up fast). The recommended gauge is 5.5 stitches and 7 rows= 1", I'm getting 6 stitches and 8 rows to the inch. This yarn is so soft (I hope it won't pill).



And on Saturday the prize I won in Kimberly's Bingo game came. She made my some lovely stitch markers and a abacus bracelet (for row counting, thank goodness it came with instructions). Thanks Kimberly!
Mandy was knitting "picture" dishcloths all last week (4 in total with a 5th started).

I hope your weekend was enjoyable! Have a great week!
