Having a rough week...

...but one of the highlights was a couple of knit-nite hours where I actually worked on my latest sock. It really won't take me long to finish... and I don't seem to have an issue with Second Sock Syndrome. I just have family coming in town for the weekend and so much stuff to do...

:::sigh:::

I missed my knitting group today. I look forward to knitting with my peeps and it just wasn't in the cards for me, I guess. My husband was called away for work and he still isn't home... I'm going to try a KIP later this week at Denny's after the kids go to bed (Jo? Are you out there?)... I hope to have a FO to share again soon. That's all for now...

My Sock Yarn Stash :)

Awwwww, isn't it precious? Since I outgrew my sock yarn bag, I felt it was time to refer to my sock yarn as a stash though I know it is still quite small. I wasn't able to get my hands on Panda Cotton during my last trip to Santa Cruz, but I did come away with a few nice selections, including some much needed pink Fixation for my oldest daughter. I'm on a sock fast at the moment while I get my review reading caught up...

Quick update: KIP, FO, UFO and sock yarn...

Yes, I was able to knit in public on the 9th. I spent a few fun hours with members from my knitting group at Denny's. It wasn't my first or even my second choice of locations but it was 9pm before things really got going and the other two venues were already closed :(


I am working on a hat for my dad for father's day. It's not all that difficult, I just wish my dpns were longer!!!! I've been slipping stitches and diving after them with my trusty crochet hook LOL!


I finished one washcloth in a double moss pattern but I also still need to crochet (possibly knit if I can find a FAST pattern) up a couple more washcloths for a gift basket. Meanwhile, I look longingly at my small sock yarn bag (too small to call it a stash LOL) because what I really want to be doing is working on socks :)

Potty training your Cabbage Patch Doll...

Apparently my four year old has successfully potty trained her CPK because she has just put in a request for mommy to knit some underwear! I will probably crochet them instead, unless I find a free online knit pattern... Hmmmm... I just love her enthusiasm, its as contagious as her smile!

Pair #2, woo hoo!

I am now officially hooked on socks :) These are for my 2 year old. She loves them!

Ok, don't laugh...

Yes, it's made with fun fur. I had originally intended to make this for St. Patrick's Day but I missed my self-imposed deadline plus it was quite warm here that day so I guess I will save it for next year.

Knitting in Public...

In preparation (training?) for June 9th (I'm such a dork I thought WWKIP was today) I brought my current project along as my family and I were out and about. Sadly, I don't have a picture to offer but I worked on my youngest's 2nd sock (aka sock #4) while waiting for my oldest's gymanistics show to start :) I know the people around me noticed but nobody said anything... that is until my youngest started crawling up on strangers' laps! Egads, she is a friendly little thing!
