Socks!!!

What's Happening?
I'm training with Fred to run in the Paws for People 5K @ UNC-W on April 3rd.  http://p4pwilmington5k.qdeka.com/www.p4pwilmington5k.com/Home.html  Since Fred started taking his Glucosamine, he is really doing well and seems excited about the race!






 What's off my sticks?

I finished my comfy socks with a cable.  I also finished two sewing projects.

What's on my sticks?
I'm working on some socks for my mom for Mother's Day ... same cable pattern.  I'm using Knit picks yarn, Stroll.  It is fingering weight in the Make Believe Hand-Painted colorway, and is washable.
Knitting news?
You would not believe these socks I found in Vogue Knitting Magazine ... maybe someday .... 

What I'm reading ...
I just finished the first two books in Nora Roberts' series, The Bridal Quartet - Vision in White & Bed of Roses.  I've been listening to them in my car on audible, they are a very enjoyable read.  I can't wait for my next credit so that I can start #3.  To join Audible, click http://www.audible.com/t1/CJ?source_code=GO1DG9016WS113010
I am currently reading Christine Trent's The Queen's Dollmaker.  I found this book for free on my Kindle, and am really enjoying it.  It takes place during the French Revolution.  The main character, Claudette Laurent is a wonderful character.  There is some romance and I've learned some new things about historical France.
