Sunny Days Are Here Again..!!
Hey Knitter, yes I am being a slacker, actually took pictures last weeknd to post, but never got around to it. We finally have some nice weather, after a LONG winter, the buds are finally appearing, and my Hostas are starting to come up!! Exciting!!
So here are some recent pics:
Firstly, here is the completed sock...yes how could you tell it was my first one! I had a good laugh knitting it, maybe I should publish the pattern..NOT! As I mentioned before I didn't even clue in that I wasn't doing k2p2 rib until I was about 1/3 of the way into it!
Hey...here's a close up!! Hardy Har Har!
The heel...not too bad, but I am starting to wonder whether I will be able to do it again!
I am going to attempt today to start a new pair today (looong break here in the blog while I deal with some business issues on the phone....ok 1hr later!)
Where was I, oh yeah, the sock, well I am not knitting a mate for it, that's for sure, thought that I would use some nice spring-like sock yarn this time, I have some Trekking that I bought last weekend at the Knitters Frolic in Toronto - nice striping pale green etc.
By the way, the Knitters Frolic, was great to go to, but I thought knitters were supposed to be gentle folk! I was pushed around, and then glared at when I said "excuse me" to have access to the yarn on display -- hey, you know what, don't stand and read patterns in the middle of everyone, while at the same time discussing your personal life!!!!!!!! There are some people who want to buy .. oh yeah, and don't stand in the line up to pay, only to say "I'm not in line!!!!###%!" I did buy a ball winder and a swift though, yey!!
In other knitting I am making this for my future nephew, actually using Sugar N' Cream (trying to use up all the millions of balls that I purchased last summer!)
I think I mentioned this in the last post, I have now finished the sleeves, in white, and won't be putting the pocket on. So I just have to do the finishing, this was a very easy project for those who might want to try it.
Well, the garden, and knitting calls again!
Ummm, do I seem stressed!!!!!!! Next time my post will be involve less ranting!!! TTFN
I was in a great mood until my business call! Always on a Friday afternoon!
