Just Checking In

I'm still around - and still knitting. But, Nov-Dec. is a very busy time for me - probably for everyone. I finished Sports socks - he tried them on last evening. They fit! But, I didn't get a photo -- too busy trying to keep Buster out of the Christmas tree. Also forgot to tell the mama to Air Dry them.

I'll try to get a photo added soon.

And I'll try to add more content over the weekend. Sounds like we're going to have nasty weather - so I'll be staying home.

Take care all ya'all ~ !!

I'm Flattered!

I'm still very much a Ravelry newbie. I have to add more photos to Flickr - so I can make more entries on Ravelry. Too bad I can't do it at work :-]

But...I had a very pleasant surprise a few days ago. I had a message from someone wanting to know if they could use one of my photos for a pattern entry. I agreed. I checked the entry this morning and sure enough, the photo of my very first pair of CIC socks is what you see when you look up the "Swirling Confetti Kids' Socks" by Jean Gifford.

Well, I think that is really cool. I liked the pattern a lot and would/will use it again.

Health benefits of fiber/fibre

I mean crafty fiber, of course.

And the primary health benefit I've been reaping is : stress reliever! It's wonderful to be able to work on a project to unwind after work, or while waiting in Drs offices, or while [sick] grandkid sitting.

No photos today, but my OTN includes:

1) Sport's socks. I'll do the toe dec on the first sock & immediately CO for the 2nd.

2) Sport's camouflage [crocheted] blankie. I'm probably more than half finished.

3) A pr of adult sized socks for someone for Christmas. Done with worsted wt acrylic, in certain colors. No photo for about six weeks. YIKES!

YIKES! I've only got 6 weeks. Gotta go -- these projects have to get done. [If I could only knit or at least crochet at work :-]
