Knitting In Public

I have a pattern ready and some CTH supersock yarn, so I’m all ready to go. Here’s a peek:

The photo isn’t the best - I tried to get the colors of the yarn to show, but it’s a pretty bright red/orange mix. It’s all wound into a cake and ready to start this Thursday! I thought it would be fun to make my first pair with the pattern “Summer Solstice” since we are starting on June 21. My goal is to complete a pair of socks every other week. I also have the Mystery Stole 3 KAL to work on (that doesn’t start until June 29, so I’ll have a week to get a good jump on these socks) and I have joined the Civil War Shawl KAL. I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep up on that one. It has already started, and I don’t have the pattern yet (it’s on the way) or any fingering weight yarn in that quantity (nearly 5000 yards). The last round of the shawl has 1200 stitches! It surely is a beautiful shawl, though, and I’m reading through the posts to pick up any corrections or hints on how to do various sections.

Work has been so busy lately that I haven’t had much chance to knit. I’m looking forward to having some time this weekend to relax with my knitting. I’m going to take some photos of possible yarn/bead combinations for the MS3. I’m hoping you can help me decide which I should use!~
