I have seen this type of photo described like this before and I never understood it until I found Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn. Yes, Koigu is pretty, but Cherry Tree Hill is beautiful AND machine washable! I can have gorgeous socks that just get comfier and softer and yummy warm in the dryer. Gotta love it! This particular colorway is "Champlain Sunset". It's gorgeous. I started up a pair of socks immediately (how many damn projects can I have going at once?)
Work is pretty amazing. I can't believe that I actually found a job that is paying me this well to do what I love- be a lab rat. :) It's hard to explain to non-science people that I actually get paid to think. Yup, and to solve problems and puzzles and play with cool machines in the lab. This particular job allows me to increase my potential though. I am hoping it leads to a "corporate trainer" type of position where I could train individuals on our technology in the lab here. There is nothing like hands-on instruction. But, add the fact that I tend to pipet (those do-hickeys that the use to pull up samples on CSI?) 4-7 hours per day and I knit, well- I am destined for carpal (sp?) tunnel syndrome. :)
More knitting stuff: I think the SIL sweater is going to have to wait for Christmas. I'll get her a gift card to Ann Taylor. It's not that I don't want to knit her a sweater, I just don't want to right now. And since I haven't promised it or anything, no harm, no foul. Well, I did start working on a short sleeve, v-neck raglan for myself. It's in Plymouth Turino Silk, color #11. A rust red. It's perfect for an autumn gal like myself. It feels so good to knit this!
More photos tomorrow!

That yarn is just beautiful. I think I may have to order some. Being ablt to throw socks in the washer is a must!
