Tofutsies

I went to the yarn shop a couple of Saturdays ago, and could not resist the siren call of SWTC's Tofutsies sock yarn. It is a blend of wool, cotton, soysilk, and chitin (a seaweed shrimp and crab shell product.) I cast on last weekend.

The yarn has a really nice feel when knitted up - sort of soft and cottony, but with wool's sproinginess. I'm not crazy about how is is pooling, though. I like either side of it by itself, but as a big gash wrapping around my shin? Not so much.

One of my occasional blog readers asked me what Katie has been up to.

Not very darned much. Here, she is keeping Knightstar's chair warm while he is out with the telescope.
