Last Sunday afternoon, I went to a Stitch 'n Bitch meeting. It's a fun, chatty group, and it's always interesting to see what everyone is working on. The topic of yarn winders and swifts came up, and Karen mentioned that there were easy directions for a swift on www.craftster.org. Found the pattern last week, and put it together between Saturday and Sunday. The hardest part was finding the parts at the local home improvement store, especially the dowels. Although easy to put together, it took a bit longer than the 2-3 hour estimate. It works pretty well, and comes apart easy for storage.
Currently on the needles is the first sock of a pair of black socks (Cherry Tree Hill), which will most likely be a Christmas present.
It's been such beautiful weather, that I've been knitting outside on the deck, and even at the beach! The cats have been spending more time outdoors, hunting and lounging. Here's Mindy:

Your socks are gorgeous! I so want that book "Knitting on the Road." I also admire you for knitting for soldiers - such a worthy cause.
