It's Been a Loooong Time....

 ......since I posted on my blog....there's lots of catching up to do...I'll try to keep it to just the highlights!

I just got the cameras and downloaded both of them.  Then I sorted the photos by date and put them in folders.  So this is from the first folder I downloaded.  These are lovely - I'm not sure if they are now in the sock bin or if I have already given them away... but we'll figure that out later!

Partly done.

This is a shot of my knitting corner.  Poppa gave up the light from his workshop/garage so I could have it for knitting!  The pattern stand also has a magnifier (look closely - you can see it in front of the pattern) and a light.  One of our neighbors gave it to me after her Mom died.  Her Dad was kind enough to say I could have it.  Her Mom used it for needlepoint.  It is now one of my most favorite things!

One sock done - and - most of the people I know have two feet, so I'll keep on knitting!

That's better!

Annie and the boys were here and they all wanted socks.  Curtie wanted green, so I purchased some nice green yarn from Knit Picks.  The price there is reasonable and the yarn is very washable - but - plain green would be boring!  Since my eyesight is not as good as it once was, I decided that rather than a lace pattern (not very suitable for a young man anyway!), that some wine colored stripes would be just the thing.  So I began...

First foot done!

Second foot started!

Almost a pair!

And finally, a sock for each foot!

But, I had quite a lot of the wine color left, so...

I made a pair in the same colors, opposite striping.  Kinda cool hey??

Of course, I had to have a Reese's peanut butter cup to keep my energy up!

Really... I did make two socks in each version - I guess I must have taken the photo so it looks like one pair with two different socks.  😉

Next, I retrieved the yarn for Munchie's choice of blue socks.
