I washed a duvet cover weeks ago, and I'm still pulling clothes out of the dryer covered with feathers, despite regular lint-trap cleanings. *sigh* I suppose if I put something really fuzzy through the dryer I could get rid of them all at once, but what would I do with the fuzzy/feathered object that would result?
This was a good weekend, since I finished off the tax forms for all family members requiring one. Oddly, despite having a reputation for being tech-savvy, I continue to be a Luddite here and do them without benefit of tax software. I tried it once eons ago and was so offended that it insisted I list my husband first (when he fills out the forms, he can have top billing) that I never went back.
I've also Finished off a couple of Objects. One's a surprise gift, but I've Raveled it.
These were finished some time ago, but I wanted to record my dissatisfaction:
Pattern: Retro Rib Socks, from Evelyn Clark's Favorite Socks
Yarn: Trekking Pro Natura, 75% wool, 25% bamboo
These are my husband's socks, which he likes. I like the pattern, and I loved the yarn in the skein, but I don't like the way it's wearing. Bamboo always blooms a bit, adds a bit of shine, but these are pilling, which my other bamboo socks have never done.
The yardage that would not quit:
These are probably the last orange knit goods for KD, as she prepares to graduate from the College of Orange and Black.
Pattern: Anastasia Socks
Yarn: Regia 4-ply
Mods: I used some graphing advice from Wendy's blog to re-size them, so I had enough yarn left over for these:
Pattern: Piano Mitts, by Catherine Ryan
Yarn: Leftover Regia 4-ply
And there's still some left!

Congrats on all the knitting! You have really gotten a lot done.
I feel like I have been lagging lately with my knitting. You are inspiring me to get moving again.
Hope! The thing with feathers! *laughing*
