Knitting Content

Here is my progress on DomiKNITrix's little red ridding hoodie. Fast Easy knit. I love it I needed something mindless and this fit the bill. I am using Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky in M075 Spice. It is a deep red color since I am not too big into the cherry red and it is a perfect color for me. I love and cannot wait to be done with it but alas I do have to work on my Socapalooza Four socks too and I am out of yarn. I am waiting for more to come in hopefully it is close to same dye lot. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Now.........

My Sockapalooza four socks. I think they are really cute. I am using Claudia's Handpainted in John B. The picture doesn't do it much justice as it is a very deep fall deserty colorway. Mauves, plums, greens, burnt oranges, and some brown tones. As you can see I have just turned the heel on sock 1 and am about to do the gusset. It is quick to knit I am doing a faux eyelet rib type pattern and it is wicked stretchy. OMG did I just use wicked I have lived in Maine too long. Holy cow that is such a New England term. Time to move.

Ok well that is all the knitting I am currently doing. My HP socks are done but I still cannot get stitch markers that I love I have made about 40 different ones and just haven't hit the right combo yet. Hopefully after I get back from NJ. Yes I am making another trip this weekend. I am leaving Friday to return Monday or Tuesday. So check out the new camera bag I got. It's so cute it looks like a little purse. Lana thinks it is her little purse. I have to hid it or she steals it from me. Mine.

Now my foray into gardening. I do not garden. I am not good at gardening. Plants hate me and they commit suicide around me. But I love them and I do try. So I have been dying for some lavender. I had to have some Lavender. So what do I get. A neat lavender hybrid type thing that doesn't have to be planted outside. I can keep in the house during the harsh Maine winter and hopefully it will survive. I also got Punky Violet Moon Tourein type thing that I hope to hang in my kitchen window. I don't know why but the picture just won't show up no matter what I do.

Ok off for now I have to go pack and get some stuff done and some sleep. Be back Monday or Tuesday.

Gratuitous shots of my adorable kids!


Sissy I wanna swing too!! She tried so hard to get on the big girl swing.

Then she gave up and decided my new bookcase was more fun.

Hi mama!

They love the playplace. Lana is such a monkey we couldn't keep her from climbing all over even tho she is not big enough. She was ok sissy stayed with her and they came down the slides together. Lots of fun.
