Finally it is a picture of the completed River Rapids sock with the sock swap dyed yarn from Ashley. Isn't this pattern perfect for this yarn and color. I am so in love with this. These blues are perfect for this pattern, it really looks like river rapids flowing.

On an incredibly Happy or Sad note. Today my baby turned 5. 5! I cannot believe it.

I feel so old.

I cannot believe I have a 5 year old. It still boggles my mind. She had a wonderful birthday and is very happy and very excited for school tomorrow. She went one day last week for a half day, then the next 3 days for half days and after labor day it is up to full days. She is so excited.

I have the rest of the second river rapids sock to do it is almost up to the heel. Also I joined the Sock Wars. I so cannot wait for that, it looks like total fun. Plus I joined the friendship afghan. You get a list of others who joined and then make a square to send to each person on the list. Then they all send you one square as well and in the end you should have enough squares for an afghan. I love stuff like this. It lets you connect with others in something that will last forever. It will be filled with memories. Well off to bed I have to get the little one up really early to get her ready and fed before she has to catch the bus. And if I dwell on it too long I will so start crying.

 

IM ALIVE

I am alive and I am still here. It has been so so nuts. I still had my SIL kids and then I got sick and hurt myself. Then I had to do a suprise party for my MIL and SIL who turned 60 and 40 respectively within a week of each other. Not to mention that the SIL whose kids now practically live with me flaked out on me and I had to do everything by myself. Then the day after the party I left to go to NJ yet again. I got home. Crashed> got ready for today, The open house day at school. The first day, Sob!!! I am so proud of her but I do not want to imagine myself having a kid in kindergarten.

Knitting wise.
I have finished a sock in the river rapids pattern with the cake dyed yarn from my sock swap ashley. It is so cool. I love this sock. Sorry no pic today as I finished it while I was in NJ and I left it there so my sis has to mail it up to me. LOL. I started a sweater that my SIL (the one who just turned 40)gave me the pattern to as a hint last year. It is gorgous but. Each panel has 15 cables on it and it is slow going and tedious but when this is done it will rock. It is not my fault it wasn't done in time for the birthday party the pattern she gave me was incomplete and I only have the cables and then half the front no neck back or sleeves. So I do have a pic of that and once I get the rest of the pattern it will be more complete hopefully. Enough chatter here are some pics.

Look at how killer that center cable is. I love the look of this.

Biker Baby

Here is her 5th birthday present

Our first day going to kindergarten and meeting the teacher. Tomorrow is the first day alone for a half day. I know I will be crying. I'm such a sap. OK need to watch rockstar. Pics of sock tomorrow.
