RECITAL DAY!

Today is Recital day! Whoo hooo! Like having a baby 9 months of hard work pay off today! Our shows are at 2:00 and at 7:00, and are going to be pretty good. I thought last years was my best ever, and I'm not sure I can say that this year, but it's going to be pretty darn good.

Knit a few rows on the Lorna's Laces socks for FN Lauren lat night....I'm really tempted to rip back, as the 2 S 2 C method left me with such sloppy ladders and workmanship....I keep telling myself that FNL won't mind...but I think that I do...however, I have so many more interesting projects calling to me that I'm not sure I want to waste time "redoing"..sigh...

Kim in KCK the hat pattern is called Checks and Charms, it's from Knitpicks, a purchased one, not free but pretty close I think.

Hats and Mittens
















Karims sweater all finished, even the ducky buttons sewn on...this is the hat before I realized it was big enough to fit his mom! Almost done re-knitting it in a more suitable size. Checks and charms hat is finished, having a little more trouble with the mittens. For some reason, the round joins are not nearly as nice on the mitten as on the hat. ..hmmm. Anyway, I'll finish the Hat, then the mittens, then I can start on my NEW STR CLUB SOCKS! Such pretty yarn, I had thought of giving club sock 2 to my sister, but when I saw it I knew it was mine..all mine.

Have an "order" for 2 pair of Woolease socks for a friend to take to ...ooh, brain freeze, big biker rally....can't think of the name..anyhow...need to do those by August. hmmm I can do it, just have to buy yarn...and I told my self I wouldn't buy any yarn until after my birthday July 30th...this presents a pretty problem...

Back to Blogging



I've been really busy and haven't blogged much but have done some knitting.
Pink hat is classic elite just a basic hat, size 8 needles I think.
Yellow hat is Pretty Petals pattern in Caron Simply Soft, size 6 and 8 needles.
Socks are my STR Club Rainforest Jasper. I have really short fat feet, so I make short fat socks, just to explain to those that think they look a little funny.
