I thought I'd start to post some finished projects. This was done in Debbie Bliss cashmerino aran. I used a silver creek classic pattern.

They're Heeeeeere

My socks have arrived! Thank you Jessie in San Francisco! They're great! Jessie wrote in her note that they will remind me of waves lapping at my ankles , which is so awesome because we just got back from San Francisco visiting my Uncle! And the Pacific ocean (my hubby is from Guam and couldn't wait to get in the water) Thanks Alison for putting together such a fun event!

Socks are sent!

That was fun! These are now on their way to their new home far from Connecticut. I knit them on size 1 addi's. 2 socks on one circular (except for the heel)with Lorna's Lace's sock in the "sand ridge" color. Can't wait for sockapaloooza 4!

I have picked out the yarn for my sockapaloooza pal! Lorna's laces shepherd sock in the color "sand ridge". I'm not usually a blue person but after checking out my pals blog I think she will like it. I have to go knit on the "orange sweater from hell" It's really not that bad it's just taking forever. I have one more sleeve to finish then I can frog the bottom and re knit it with slits ( to accommodate my ample booty)

Tonight was our first "Knit Knite" at the shop. It was very nice. Barb brought her spinning wheel and spun some pretty funky stuff! I seem to have sooooo many WIP's that I feel stuck. I keep trying to finish things but then a new yarn or pattern comes along and..........

I've done it!

I have finally entered "blogdom"!

I have alot to learn!

I am really good with fiber, two sticks and some string and pretty much anything I can actually manipulate with my hands.The computer however is a challenge!
