The Pfeiffer Falls hooded scarf has been put on hold until I can get more yarn--yes, I committed the cardinal sin of starting the scarf without the requisite amount of yarn, thinking that something like Lion Brand Solid Wool would be easy to come by...even if the dye lot ended up slightly different. Imagine my surprise when I went back to Michael's last week and found the entire yarn aisle completely decimated with no wool of any sort to be found. Apparently they had a huge after holiday sale that I missed. The lady there was very vague about when they might be getting more. I've been checking back and so far, no luck. Looks like I may have to order it online.
In the meantime I've been knitting the Blackrose Lace Socks from this winter's Knitty. I want to knit more socks this year--hopefully a pair per month, though with all that's going to be on my plate, I'm quite flexible on that goal. I started the first of this pair night before last and I've already finished and casted on the second.
Isn't the colorway beauteous?
It's the Zitron Trekking (XXL) in an unnamed gorgeous purpley variegation. I love the yarn. No pooling, and the color changes are subtle , which I like. I can't wait until they're finished.

On another note, I want to thank all of you for the comments on my last post. I can't believe the kind words from such virtual strangers. I'm feeling better this week, and being able to share some of that in words, and have such thoughtful responses definitely paid a part in that. I really look forward to reading more of your blogs and getting to know you better.

Ooooo... those are gorgeous! And they look so cozy!
I love the color, beautiful socks!
I love the colorway of this yarn! I also like the pattern a lot. I've gotten into a sock rut and have been searching for more interesting, complicated patterns to peak my interest. Thanks for the inspiration!
