It is about time I posted some knitting pictures! 

Anita sent me this gorgeous Mountain Colors yarn.  I first cast on for the Whitby Socks from Knitting on the Road.  After a couple of inches however, it was clear that the pattern and the yarn were not the best match.  It was suggested I try the Retro Rib pattern from Interweave’s Winter 2004 issue.

I think it could be love.

The Boar and I went into the city on Sunday for Fleet Week.  We waited online for two hours – two hours! – to see the aircraft carrier The JFK.  I got a lot of knitting done – our fellow line standers thought I might be able to finish a sweater while we waited.  You realize that I could care less about touring aircraft carriers.  The Boar however was thrilled.  I look on it as a deposit into the good-marital-karma account.  Here are some pics
