So what am I working on right now?

Currently I am working to a deadline to get a third haruni made for a friend's wedding. It's in cascade yarns heritage solids quatro colors in a kindof bottle green. There are 4 bridesmaids, of whom I am one, and so I have been bevering away while the bride made the 4th.
Last night was spent this way

I have't reached the 2nd chart yet, so it is more than possible to knit and have a beer at the same time.

I've put down a sock in order to get the haruni done, and am looking forward to getting back to it.

They are a mindless 2x2 rib for B, who has the sad combination of very large feet and a love for handknit socks. I am slowly working on making him a drawer full. This will be pair number five, so there is some way to go. I'm using Wendy Roam which is a lovely hardwearing (if not particularly soft) sock yarn.

I tried to make B a pair of socks using the most beautiful Laughing Yaffle sock yarn, but reached about halfway up the leg of the first sock and realised that there would not be enough yarn for the pair.

Here they are, quite early on. Aren't they lovely?
Still, I have decided to frog them and make green and black striped socks. After the current socks are off the needles, of course.

Today, as it's a beautiful day, I will be having a BBQ with friends.
Feels like summer has actually arrived!
