Pal sock update

This is the yellow I bought it is the Blue Sky alpaca in Lemondrop. This was way not yellow enough so.......

It turned into this Yellow with a little help of Cushing Dye in Lemon. I love the way it turned out. I really love these entrelac socks so I thought I would be really nice and really spoil my pal and do a pair for her. Hopefully she will like them. They remind me of any of the Pittsburg team colors. LOL too bad she lives in the west it would be perfect and double the fun. This is all I was able to get done in the car. I ended up driving most of the way so I only got about an hour of real knitting time. Thats ok I got a good start and I will just have to work my butt off on them now. Sake wanted to be my Barker girl. See her modeling the yarn for me. :-)

We just got back from a quick trip to NJ. We left Thurday morning and got back last night.

Another trip to Build a Bear. Lana did have more fun this time around tho LOL. she got a cute flop eared bunny named Snuggles

Kiki got a Hello Kitty.

Kristen got her first Build a Bear for her 1st birthday named Peanut.

Poppy (my dad) and Kristen the party was just too much.

It was a great trip the kids were good. We loved being able to see everyone and I got a DVD system for the car so the drive was so much easier. Hubby and I are going back in 2 weeks since he couldn't come this time.

I joined the Hogwarts Sock Swap today.
I need another project or hobby like I need another hole in my head. LOL
This just looked too much fun and I love Harry Potter so I had to do this.
I took the sorting hat quiz and it placed me in Ravenclaw. Not too bad, at least I like the colors (film).
Here is my questionnaire:

Hogwarts Sock Swap Questionnaire

1. What Hogwarts house have you been sorted into?

5. List your three favorite double-point needle brands, including size and length.

a. Addi turbo magic loop 100 cm

c. Clover

not picky on length or size just whatever gets the job done for the pattern.

6. Would you like to try a new brand needle? If so, which brand? Size? Length?
Any I haven’t used yet I would like to try. Possibly a set of Lantern moons made better then the ones I bought and won’t break in the first 10 minutes.

Or Brittany's I don't have anyone near me who sells those and I hear they are great.

7. If you are a RAVENCLAW, do you prefer the colors in the film or the book?
Film

Yup I do not like the blue and bronze just cuz the bronze ends up looking yellowish but if done right I wouldn't mind book colors.

9. Are you willing to have an international Hogwarts Sock Pal?
Yes

Look what we woke up to this morning!

Ugh I am so ready for the snow to end Hello! I thought this was over. It was close to 50 degrees sunny and the snow had all melted. What is up with this?

Lana is now fascinated by sissy's undies she has taken to putting them on over all of her clothes. How cute. Super baby!

Second try on entrelac sock. Guess what? I went up two needles sizes since I am using slightly bigger yarn and the first sock was too small. Nope now this one is too big. I think I am just not destined to have a pair of these socks. Oh well!

I think its time to make another booga j bag. Lets go get some Noro! I need a break.
