Hi, Thanks for your kind words about my socks! Now...

Hi, Thanks for your kind words about my socks! Now that I've completed them for Cirque du Socks, I've resumed work on Mermaid. It's going well and much easier than I thought it would be almost completely due to Amy's chart. You may have read about it on the KAL blog, but in case you haven't, e-mail her for a copy at needlesnhooks@gmail.com. Though knitting the ridges is boring at times - the cardi is worked sideways so the rows are long - I love working the gussets and working it sideways makes watching the construction fascinating. I hope you won't let the instructions included in the kit delay your start they way I did. Love your blog and the great links. Love NYC too and your comment re darker colors working better there picqued my curiosity: won't NYers wear color this spring?
