The moment I finished my monkeys I casted on a plain generic sock in some Jitterbug… however it bored me (after monkey I was itching for another lace fun thing). I have been wanting to try the Anastasia socks (from Pepperknit) and it is so cute. Just enough to break up the variegated… Summer of Socks is hitting me in a big way. CIMG0435

Today was a banner day for me I haven’t had a hair cut in like a year (literally) so I finally took the plunge and did it. This weekend is the sisters engagement party (pics to follow especially of the goldfish well you’ll see) Be back soon….

Monkey Socks (do I really need to link it??)
Lornas Laces Tickled Pink
Mods: I knit them toe up cause well I hate the kitchener stitch. Subtracted one repeat in the leg and swapped heel for a short row. I love these socks they fit like a glove!!

If the title didn’t speak volumes the photo should be worth a thousand words. ouch

SECRET PAL

oh my I have wanted to post this sinc thursday but I couldnt and then the camera has been doing weird stuff (read odd piccs at best) so I am gonna post this without pics and then hopefully I’ll add some photos later. My pal sent me some amazing pinky teal sock yarn and favorite knitted socks (the interweave sock book) some spinning fiber and a totebag from maryland. oh and some cottony yarn which may become a tank top… there may have also been some chocolatey goodness but you wouldnt be able to find that anymore!! THANKS SOOO MUCH pal I can’t wait to find out who you are so I can better thank you (hopefully some photos will follow all this) . As an aside if anyone has some camera reccomendations they would be much appreciated my only requirement is it uses secure digital memory cards… thanks

the blue bird chirped thrice….

there has been some bad knitting juju in these parts but I am working to remedy the problem immediately…. I started a new sock from Knitting Vintage socks (childs first sock ) in some Louet Gems I think I am gonna use this pattern for my sockapalooooza pal but this one is just a practice one. I picked up Interweave crochet after seeing granny bags popping up all over. I like that its cute and a lil kitchy and I think it’ll be a cute summery bag so I have to get some yarn for that (yeah I know that took a lot of persuasion). I think I have blathered on enough for tonight so… Be back soon (hopefully with some pics and the reason the knitting mojo may have been lost )

Flying wonder mice

got my invite to Ravelry omg its awesome!! Getting organized and while I am there I may have added a few things to the project cue in my head… Go on and check it out. (BTW the nonsense titles might be around for awhile creativity is not working here. )
