I am knitting something with my Malabrigo that I brought home with me from my trip last year to Seattle. The colour way is Velvet Grapes. I started out knitting one thing - didn't think the pattern was up to the wool so I changed. I'm pretty sure that this will be a vest but I will see how much I have left, if I can put sleeves into it.
It is an absolute pleasure to knit with - really!! And I can't believe that I don't even care that the front and the back are so different in colour. I still love it and love knitting with it. It is soo soft and I won't want to take it off, whatever it turns out to be.
And because I pulled a muscle in my neck and needed to knit small - there is a new pair of Trekking Socks. They are very soft too. I wore them today with my slip on clogs and had to take them off because they were just too hot on my feet. It's not cold enough for me to wear woolen socks yet. But these will get plenty of wear when Winter is really here.

We had such warm, even hot weather lately, that I was thinking of putting away my woolen socks until fall. But today it was cold again, and I'm wearing my Trekking socks.
I've read some Stephen King, he has a scarry mind. My daughter enjoys Horror movies and novels, but I loose sleep over things like that, and we don't want that. :o)
