We went and picked up the blocking wire tubes from the printer this afternoon. Check this out. Just like downtown. (You know, it’s hard to get good pictures of these things.)

No more labels stuck onto the tubes. What’s more: no more endless hours spent sitting here sticking labels onto tubes. The labels are now printed directly on the tubes. Score. And what’s that? Why is one tube printed with a green label? Well, it’s because we now have blocking wires in two weights: lace (original in blue) and sweater (new in green). We’ll be sending the first sets of sweater weight blocking wires to our distributor early next week. Be sure to ask for them at your LYS. (End shameless plug.)

The amaryllis blossoms are even bigger today than they were yesterday. A full six inches across, and at least seven inches high. There’s Le Mutt hanging out close to the blossom, so you can see the size of this flower. He’s far enough away to avoid the nasty pollen that’s just itching to stain his fur.

I finally got pictures of my finished Wanida socks that I made from Cookie A’s pattern in her book, Sock Innovation. I love my Wanida socks. Fit like a dream. Comfy.

Socks knit with Shibui Sock in Midnight. Yum.
