Lots of nothing about knitting, my dogs, and my grandkids probably in that order

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY SOCK KNITTING
Little Mac has been under the weather (I have no idea what that means) but he’s been sick. He had to wear his “sick blanket” to keep warm. I just had to have his picture since the blankey had a snowman on it. Mac wasn’t happy and I look like some kind of nut case. (I guess the truth hurts.)
Finished ANOTHER pair of socks today. They were knit with Happy Fuzzy yarn and the stripes were Shelridge Farms. I love the feel. The Happy Fuzzy yarn is just that.
Another pair of socks finished. The pattern is from SPIT (sock princess in training, Kristen.) Isn’t that a great thing, I got the pattern from SPIT. She may soon take over my title and I’ll kindly let her have it. She’s knitting socks like a pro.
May have already shown the other photo. Those are my fingerless mittens knit with my first handspun yarn. Any guesses as to how long it took me to spin that stuff? It takes longer than you think when you’re just re-learning spinning. I’m so proud of those mittens. Mike was freezing the other night and wore them to read the paper. Wish I had a pic of that.
Well if the White Death doesn’t get us tomorrow, I’ll see ya later.
Every year I take a photo with Santa to send to my girls in California. They always get a good laugh and are truly amazed that I’d do such a thing. This year it will also go to baby Michael. He might as well get used to a crazy Grams.
Just finished this pair of socks. Worked up really fast, only about 4 days of knitting. As usual, I don’t know the yarn or the pattern. Will admit I got the pattern out of book, don’t know which one. I did alter it a bit, I used a rolled cuff. I’ll also admit it was by accident, I forgot to knit the cuff first. Don’t worry about me and my memory, old age does that to you.
If you’ve never been to The Wool Girl shop online, you don’t know what you’re missing. I love that place. Not only can you get great and different yarns but when the package arrives it’s like your birthday. The yarns are wrapped in fun tissue paper and tied with matching bows. You always get an extra treat or two. This shipment the treat was a Christmas mitten filled with candy and and also a small bar of handmade soap. You just have to check out this site. Shipment is also very fast.
That’s about it for today, just wanted to enable a little.
Knit on.
