When I was at Maryland Sheep and Wool last month I saw some Trekking in tan and light blue. I did not want to wait in line – the booth was crowded with sweaty people, the line was long, and technology was S L O W.

Then last week I was at Uniquities looking for laceweight (shawl for mom) and I saw the yarn again. I had to buy it. I cast on the first sock while we were at Kingstowne. There is not one single repeat in the first sock. I am not sure I found a repeat to start the second one. The socks are destined to be fraternal twins.

In other news, I got a new batch of fresh dye to continue the string experiments. I gave two of the experiments to Pam at her opening on Friday. I figured out a way to scour the skeins more thoroughly.
