Another Week

It is Sunday night already. At least I feel like I have accomplished something! Dinner is done (yes I cooked, a miracle I know)...and there is dinner for tomorrow already done. I also have dinners planned for the rest of the week...that is saying something.....my evil plan is to feed these people so that I can knit!!!

My order from The Loopy Ewe should be arriving tomorrow. That order contains the yarn I need to make the item I am using for my loopy swap...can't wait to get that started and see how it goes.

Tuesday is Veteran's Day - honor our brave men and women - past and present- who fight for our freedom. School is closed, and I have the day off, so a little extra knitting might be in the plan.

I'm almost done with my 4th pair of Croc Socks, only 2 more pair to go!


Hats, fingerless mitts, and socks, socks, socks, still in the works!! Oh, and I signed up for the Perfect Day Yarn sock club!! Yikes.....that makes 2 sock clubs and the swap....I gotta stop!

Off to drop the boy at the greyhound station so he can go back to school...and hopefully knit a bit before bed.....

The Loopy Swap

Well, the Loopy Swap is officially on! I have my upstream and downstream partners and ideas galore!

Researched a pattern, ordered the yarn, and just waiting for it to arrive so that I can get started knitting! Decided an early start is a good idea, since Christmas knitting is probably going to be out of control! All of the kids have put in their requests for a variety of knitted items for Christmas, so I have to get crackin'.....

This is my first swap, and being the overachiever that I tend to want to be, I really want to do right by my partner.....I think I will...I have some good ideas, that I feel she will like, and some little spys out there helping me...how could I go wrong....and I have found this is a great way to make new friends! All is good.

Happy Weekend, I'm off to knit..... :)

November already?

Well, as we can all see, I have been a sporatic (at best) blogger. I promise to start trying to get organized and attempt to do my blogging at least a few times a week!!
Let's see how long I can keep that up...

First, introducing my new grandson (who is now 6 weeks old!)
Jordan James - born 9/24/08 - 6 lbs. 13 oz. 19 in. at 1:04 pm


Making huge strides in stash building! I have been a frequent flyer at Woolgirl, Loopy Ewe, and Simply Socks, not to mention the trips to my LYS, Have Ewe Any Wool. I also recently purchased a swift to make life soooo much easier with my ball winder. Have been overcome with a love of sock yarn...joined the Knitting Purls sock club for 2009, was lucky enough to get a spot in the Woolgirl Sock Club 2009 and I'm in my first swap with the Loopy Ewe group on Ravelry .

Finished a couple of flap hats for my little lovey Jordan and for my friend's grandson Carmine. Great, easy knit that will keep their heads nice and warm this winter. Although now I have 4 requests from the "big kids" for the same kind of hats!! Made Jordan's on the big side, he is growing so fast I'm afraid it won't fit by January!



Well, I got the name of the person I get to spoil for the Loopy Swap, so I'm off to make plans for knitting and purchasing!!
