By Your Leave
The ant is knowing and wise,
but he doesn't know enough to take a vacation.

but he doesn't know enough to take a vacation.

First things first - I am now officially on leave! I heartily endorse even the first 15 minutes - very relaxing. And there's plenty of excitement coming - I believe I mentioned last week that the fiance and I are off to Madison early tomorrow morning. We're looking forward to getting away for a bit, but also for home cooking, visiting yarn stores (ok, that would be the royal "we" here), and possibly even snow. I'm bringing lots of sweaters!
. . . And reading. And knitting. Which is probably why you're here, right? You wanted to see the beau's new socks in process. And I'm happy to oblige.
The Retro Ribs from Interweave's Favorite Socks in a nice grey mix Koigu. The beau gave his seal of approval to the pattern, so they're coming along for the vacation. . . . for the times I can't be knitting on the Chuppah. For once, choosing the knitting is an easy part of packing!And now for a completely gratituitous photo from a morning in La Jolla last weekend:
If we're this happy on a day off, just think of a whole five days!Labels: Life, Manly Knits, Socks

I loved your Manly Socks contest, so many great sock patterns all in one place! Thanks for putting that together!
You and your fiance are an adorable couple! Hope you enjoy your vacation!
And very manly and handsome they look too. The socks. You two just look fabulously happy. Enjoy your leave!
have fun on your mini vacay! He looks awfully cute with his hair grown in...I didn't realize he was a redhead! :o)so
Have a wonderful, wonderful time! You two look so good together.
Have a great time! Rest, knit, relax, repeat. I'm admiring your packing of only two knitting projects. I wish I could learn that discipline!
Have a great trip! Buy lots of yarn! Your manly socks look great!
koigu! my favorite delciousness...
enjoy your time off. you deserve it. I never thought I'd say this, given the unusually cold spring we've had, but I'll wish for snow for you if it means you can wear some of your wool!
I hope you have a fantastic time, you guys totally deserve it! That Koigu looks awesome...do I detect the faintest...very faintest totally manly hint of lavender in the Koigu? It's gorgeous!
How adorable you two look! I hope you guys have a wonderful and well-deserved rest! And remember, one of the first things to establish in a marriage is that HE is the driver and YOU are the knitting passenger!
What a sweet, sweet picture! Have fun.
Wishing you safe travels and lots of fun!
Have a great vacation! Are you guys going to know what to do with yourselves for that many days off in a row? ;-)
Awwww! Have a wonderful time! (take pictures of the yarn stores)
Have a great trip! I hope you have a good visit with his family. I hear Madison is a great place.
You both looks so happy and relaxed! Enjoy Wisconsin and have some deep-fried cheese curds for me (trust me, they're a delicacy where I come from). ;)
Bet you'd have fun anywhere!
After all those years since our aborted Madison college visit, you're finally getting to see the place under much pleasanter circumstances :) Clearly there was divine Providence behind that spring blizzard. Enjoy the visiting and the knitting (I can't wait to see updates, hint, hint...)
enjoy your time off and Wisconsin! i love long distance yarn shop trips... errr, i mean, vacations.
Have a wonderful vacation! I always knew you were smarter than an ant. :)
Awww, you guys look so happy and relaxed.
