Last weekend I visited Melissa<\/a> and we hung out and drank some Austrian beer (oh, G\u00c3\u00b6sser, I am so glad to have made your acquaintance again) and watched some hockey and some movies and some television. (I introduced her to last year’s awesome Star Trek reboot; she has been introducing me to Six Feet Under. We are equally pleased with both things.) We toured the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania<\/a> and climbed through all sorts of old train cars. We drank a lot of coffee and created some delicious blue-cheese-and-mushroom stuffed bison burgers for the One Local Summer challenge. I’d link you but Melissa hasn’t written them up on her blog yet. Tsk. <\/p>\n

Anyway. It was a lovely weekend and it revived my spirits, so it was only fitting that I ask Melissa to help me photograph my Revival Socks.<\/p>\n

REVIVAL<\/B>
\n\"Revival<\/a><\/p>\n

Project<\/b>: Revival Socks<\/a>, by Glenna C
\nYarn<\/b>: Green Mountain Spinnery Spinnery Sock Art-Forest, in an unnamed blue color
\nNeedles<\/b>: US2.5\/3.0mm
\nNotes<\/b>: I LOVE THESE SOCKS.<\/p>\n

Seriously. Look at these socks.<\/p>\n

(Also that spectacular photograph!) So Glenna has a knack for twisted stitches, and she uses them perfectly in this pattern. It’s not hard to knit at all: the pattern has a great rhythm that is very easy to grok and once you get the hang of it you won’t need to look at the chart again. I had so much fun knitting them up I was sorry when I grafted the second toe. However, I am also looking forward to wearing them, so I have gotten over that. <\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a pattern to learn twisted stitches on, I think this would be a great choice. And if you want to recapture your sock mojo? Also, great choice. Glenna’s brilliant and I am very glad she keeps making up designs for me to knit. (Wait, what? She’s not just doing it for me? I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear you say that.)<\/p>\n

In short? Knit these socks. You will not be sorry.<\/p>\n

And now, back to watching the World Cup. USA\/England just wrapped up, and was that not an awesome game? This is going to be the best month of football ever. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
