stage 8 & 9 updates
Stage 8
Columbia once again with a terrific stage win by Cavendish yesterday. His lead out man, Ciolek, made it across in second place. Once again Kirchen ended the day in yellow.
I did manage to get some much needed knitting done on the clapotis despite a slight mechanical problem. Tangled yarn. I had to do some cutting and splicing. It has about a foot in length now. Not bad, but not good.
Stage 9
Today's stage was the first in the Pyrenees. It is time for the climbers and the overall GC contenders to make their moves. It was actually a quiet day for the favorites. None of them made a move, probably saving their legs for tomorrow's stage. There were a lot of attacks by others, however, and in the end the stage win went to Ricco. His second in this year's Tour. GC standings stayed about the same except for American, Christian Vandevelde of team Garmin-Chipotle moving into third.
Just like the sprinters in this stage, I fell back into the "autobus". I really need to get some knitting done on this scarf or it will never get finished by the end of the tour. I was distracted by a pretty sock. I started the second of my Beatrix socks for the SPEW KAL.

fawkes. beatrix. whatever.
They're pretty whatever pattern they are.
Well, I thought I was making a pair of Fawkes by Monkey Toes, but I somehow ended up with the written instructions for Beatrix instead. Completely mixed up the patterns. Not sure how I managed it. I knew something was wrong but continued on since I had no way to check while in Italy. I just continued on. It looked good, so what if the stitch count was off...
So, this is really Beatrix, with the pattern on the back repeated on the front. I am happy with it so it will not be redone. One more modified Beatrix left to knit. :)
