If at First You Don't Succeed...

Welcome to the newest member of my little fambly, Iris the truck.  She's a 2002 Ford Ranger with 5-speed manual transmission.  Isn't she a cutie-pie?  Sister Jane and the girls and I had a very nice visit with Brother Tim, Ian and Katie before I drove the truck home.  Thanks Ian, for spotting such a bargain for your old Auntie Teri!

Tomorrow I'll go to the BMV to complete the ritual necessary to transfer the title and register Iris.  I would love to be able to find out approximately how much that will cost, but the BMV's computer system is down.

Besides adopting Iris, I celebrated Socktober first by completing the Undulating Rib Cashmere Blend socks.  Yarn was gifted to me by Dave, included in my KSKS package.  I love this stuff...  The pictures were taken after the socks had a bath, and the yarn has started to bloom a little. 

Then I cast on a new sock in Kona SuperWash Merino  from Wool2Dye4, dyed way back in June along with the yarn I dyed for Ruth's Dye-O-Rama package.  It tickles me no end to be using a pattern called Broken Rib on this sock.  The yarn on the right is KnitPick's Worsted Weight Bare, dyed with black and turquoise.  It's destined to become a Klein Bottle Hat for Isaac.  Yeah!  I know!  I'm actually planning a non-sock project!!
