First and foremost, both the 8:30 and 10:00 am church services went off without a flaw. I was so grateful that my musical offerings were what I had hoped for, and I “didn’t let the side down”. Afterwards, at coffee hour, I told Fr. Chad that this week was like a “month of Sundays”, with the four services. No wonder I spent so much of the last two weeks in rehearsal.
Knitting did happen, in between times on the organ bench. I’ve managed to get a sock and 3/4 done of Brainylady’s Basic Cabled Sock. 
The yarn is Fleece Artist Somoko, the Midnight colorway, and is one of the skeins that I purchased from Loopy Ewe in St. Louis, MO on our October trip. 
I really like the fact that the gusset grows out of the cable on each side.
Meezermeowmy has never been known as a monogamous knitter, so of course I had to start a new project. (We’re going to Disneyworld in early May, and I’m trying to get projects to a good stage for travel knitting.) When Swing Swing showed up in the Winter 2008 issue of Knotions, it was love at first sight. I ordered the Colrain yarn that day, in Blue Lapis. It’s been calling to me ever since; once I got past the heel of the second Basic Cabled Sock I felt I could cast on.
Last night I got past the divide for the sleeves, and today I knit the first cable twists. The yarn is 50% Merino/50% Tencel, and is a yummy knit. As expected, the Merino is soft, soft, soft, and the Tencel makes for a fluid drape. After this 16 rows increases occur to create the A-line. They must be kept in pattern, and will require more of my attention. Whiskers crossed!
The stitch is made by yarn over, slip one stitch, knit two, pass slipped stitch over. The alternate rows are purled. The stitch moves by one stitch each repeat. 
The baby, Emmanuel, is continuing to improve. He was moved out of the NICU into the regular nursery. However, that proved to be too stressful for him, so he’s back in the NICU for now.
