A FO!!!

I finished something! They are the sox for my sock4 pal. I really hope that she likes them.







They are made with CiderMoon HandDyed in SeaGrass. Size 0's for the foot and Size 1's for the leg. I did a simple pattern to show off the yarn. R likes them and wants them for himself. Just a short one today, not feeling the greatest. Oh, this counts as a pair for the summer of sox KAL! I just remembered. haha. Off to start a Christmas present and rest. Later.

I'm Home!!!!!

It feels so good to be home. We got home Sunday around midnight, after starting at 4 that morning. Came home to heat and humidity. YUCK!!!

Ok, pics. Here are the pics from my spoiler for theSuperSoxBoxSwap. I have already eaten the chocolate covered macadamin nuts. The dogs loved the carob and mint treats! The pattern that is hiding is the next picture.

Thank you, thank you again to Gina! You really spoiled me!!!!

Finished a project! A Christmas present for someone on my list.

Have to go and rest from all the travel and unpacking, so until next time, pick up those needles and knit!!!

Hello

Ok, I have some more time today. My SuperSoxBoxSwap. I did get my box. It is absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!!! I got some pretty yarn, I don't remember the brand(didn't bring the items or a list with me to the library) but it is very pretty pinks, purples, blues and such. I got a sox bag that is pink on the inside and white with pink and black paw prints on the outside. Very, very cute! Inside was some cute gemstone stitch markers and some round pins with animals like a monkey, elephant, cat, dog and such. I got a really cool pattern, I think that she made it herself. Oh, I got some macadamin nuts covered in chocolate. And she sent my dogs some treats, they are carob and mint! She also sent me a notebook that has graph paper as the pages. Very cool!!!If I have forgotten anything, I am very sorry. One thing, I don't know who my spoiler is to thank her properly. I will post pictures when I get home in about 2 weeks. Until next time - Happy Knitting!!!!

Sorry it has been so long!

Sorry Everyone!

This is going to have to be a very quick post. I did get my supersoxboxswap box from Gina? in Hawaii. It is wonderful. I don't have pictures, will probably get them up in the next couple weeks. I don't have a computer that I can upload pics to, I am on vacation and have to go to the library to usr the internet. I did sent out my box to my pal. I hope that she gets it soon and loves it. Have to go, unitl next time - Happy Knitting!

Good Morning!

Good Morning!

This is amazing for me. Up this early on a nonwork-nonclinical day! And I have been up for a hour. Ok, onto other things.


Finished my teacher's hat last night. Washed, blocked, and dried. It looks waaaaaaaaaaaay too big! Maybe I blocked it too big. I will tell the teacher that if she has a smaller bowl to rewet it and reblock. The color is more true in the two bottom pictures.



















The dogs are Katie (the puppy) and DeeO.Gee (dobbie/german shepard mix)

They and DeeO.Gee's sister are going with us to WY. Fun. Two big dogs and a puppy in the back of my Bronco. Doable but cramped! We pick up the rental truck this afternoon. I am going to try to pack it this evening, but may have to finish in the AM.

Well, my final is today. It is a computer test. The only problem I have with it is that the company that the school contracts with for the tests and practice tests don't tell you what you missed on the practice tests! So, you really don't know what you got wrong. That is my only gripe. I studied as best as I could. Once I pass the final, then I can apply for the state boards to take the NCLEX for LPN.

Ok. I'm off to eat my Wheaties! Wish me luck and Happy Knitting!

Pictures and a FO!

Ok, I found the camera and took the pictures of the stitch markers

Sulah sent me this:












Very cute and they are reversible! She writes that the notepad and the pen are magnetic. How cool is that!
Kathy send me these:









Very Pretty!
Thank you again to both ladies.

I finished one of my pairs of sox for sockapalooza 4! Here they are:

























The color is is between the middle pic and the bottom. The bottom one is with a flash. It is also to show the difference the other side is. The top is Wendy's Feather and Fan. In fact, the pattern is Wendy's fingering weight toe-up with gusset heel. Very easy and complete instructions! Thank you Wendy! Took them this morning outside on my wall while it is still cool. It was 106 degrees yesterday, and supposed to be warmer today!

The sock forms are from Chappy on ebay. Good products and fast service!

I have started on my next pair of sockapalooza 4 sox. I am a sock angel, so I need to get those done also. But, they also count for my Summer of Sox KAL!!!
Iam so excited to be doing a KAL. It also makes me finish the sox I am doing and not have SSS. Maybe I can get some of R's sox done that he has been asking for!

Until next time - Happy Knitting!!!!!!!!!!

Stitch markers

I got my stitch markers from two people! Very cool. Don't know where the camera is at the moment, so no pictures. Sorry. Thank you again to Sulah and Kathy! Still trying to get ready for the big trip to WY and study for my final on Monday. Such fun! Until next time, happy knitting.

p.s. finished one sockapalooza 4 sox and almost done with the other. then I can start on the second pair!
