More Sox are Ready to Ship.....

Round Two of the 2012 Sock Giveaway is ready to go...........

and the individual pictures have been sent to Auntie Denise...since she is at the top of the list this time.  In case you are wondering where you are on the list - here it is:  Auntie Denise, Mommy, Gramma, Auntie Colleen, Aunt Grumpy, Aunt Lynda and Tracy.  As you can see from the picture the socks match this time - and there are multis and plains.  I hope there is something to please everyone since it has been quite a while since I actually made a whole pair of socks from the same ball of yarn!  Take a look at this yummy yarn....

....... I bought these to make socks for Uncle Brian - he needs extra large skeins for his - ummm - well - ummm - extra large feet.   These were to be my next project, but I have a critical request from another source - so these might have to wait until that project is done.  Mommy's friend Kat (you remember the baby bump - right?) bought some nice cotton yarn to crochet a baby blanket using her newly acquired skill of crocheting.  Time wore on and she just didn't feel like doing it....so after she received her socks in the last giveaway, she asked if I could knit the yarn into a blanket.  Of course, I couldn't say no - so she mailed me the yarn.  I told her I would finish the current batch of socks and then start her blanket - hopefully to have it done before the due date of March 21st.  Oh goodness!  That little tiny girl could not wait and she was born last week.  This put a rush on to get the socks done and start the blanket.  The socks are now done, and I have started the blanket - whew!  So, poor Uncle Brian is temporarily on the back burner again.  I even brought some yarn from my stash to make the poor guy some slippers too - which of course are also on the back burner.  With time running out for our stay in Florida - I will probably start his socks and slippers in the car on the way home - but rest assured - Dear Uncle Brian - they will be at the top of the list as soon as this blanket is done and on its way to that new little girl!

Do any of you watch "Everybody Loves Raymond"?  Poppa loves it and we watch it when there are no shows on that I want to watch.  So..........

....I call this picture "Squeegie (Frank) Barrone".  I also have a really nice picture of Taffy.....

.... dressed for church on Sunday.......and she wanted me to call this one "Taffy (Vanna) White".
