hey, where'd the sun go?

As I mentioned in my last post, we're at Gleneden Beach for the weekend. It's apparently been sunny (if a bit cold) most of the week, but today? Alternately drizzly, foggy, misty, etc., all day. Gray, gray and more gray.

Oh well. I'd still rather be here looking at the ocean than home looking at the street in the rain. :D

All we did today was go into Newport for breakfast (at more like lunchtime). So I've been knitting most of the afternoon/evening, with a bit of reading thrown in. And visiting with Mom and Nik, of course. All in all, a very nice, relaxing day. Despite the weather.

I've made excellent progress on my Sorta Charade socks. The first one has a heel and I'm now working my way down the foot. I'll post photos tomorrow, probably. I also started the February Baby Sweater last night and am now through about three repeats of the lace pattern. Despite looking over the pattern before I started, I didn't notice that there was no mention of buttonholes until you get to the lace section. So...the garter stitch portion at the top has none. Oops. I've come up with an alternate plan for the buttons already, and I think it'll be fine.

I think it's supposed to rain more tomorrow, so there probably won't be any pretty Gleneden photos from me. Maybe I'll steal some more from Mom...
