Whee! They're done!

They are finally done! Since this is my second pair....I've noticed that it gets a little easier as I go along. I think I finally have the "rhythm" of how to make socks!


I've finally have finished up packing and have brought along another pair of socks to knit on the train. I really like taking the train.....I have no horror stories to tell and enjoy meeting all the different people! Therefore, it will be a week before you hear from me again.......Happy Knitting!

Almost Done!

Guage is god......that's what Sue tells me! But do I listen.......heck no? Now.....I love these socks! However, they are a little big around the ankle, but I really don't care, because they are for me! The first sock seems a little tighter because I was a little tense. I can tell that by the second sock, I was getting the hang of things and felt a bit more comfortable. I'll probably finish these this week and then start on another pair.

We are slowing getting ready for our trip to Boston. Taking the train will give me lots of time to knit! I also found out that there are a lot of yarn shops in the area and I can't wait to check them out!

Here's my little guy Nick modeling the London Beanie I made. He loves it because it's a tad tight and I guess that's what all the skateboarders and skiers wear. Tonight I can't wait to go to Stormi's and partake in some adult beverages while I continue to make my socks! School as officially ended so that means that my vacation is now over. My yarn diet is going pretty well! I haven't purchased any yarn for 1 week! I bought some Cascade 220 to make the London Beanie in my boys' school colors. I also designed an illusion scarf with my son Nick's name. If time is on my side.....I'd like to try and get it done before Xmas! Now back to the shawl......Happy Knitting!
