Boo

Count Sockula socks done! I gave them to my mom - we have a running Witchie-poo joke. Scrumpy gives them the final touch.

I love Halloween - and this year Spiderman, the moose, Frida Kahlo and the gorilla had a great time Trick-or-Treating. The boys "get" it now so that makes it more enjoyable for us all. So "boo" and good night monsters everywhere!

1/2 FO & A Big Merci Beaucoup!

Ta da! One Yarntini Sock done - the other cast on and on the way to being done! And I added it to my Ravelry account last night. I'm on there as jfw04.

And I started a baby sweater for my cousin - she is due in October with a boy. I'm using Twisted Fiber Arts dutchess yarn in Filanon and Ankh. I also put this into Ravelry!

Now, for the big THANK YOUS! This is a picture of my Hogwarts Sock Kit Swap 2 package! The bag and the needle case is amaging. And Jenean sent me some beautiful Gryffindor colored Alpaca yarn. Ummmm, Alpaca, my favorite. And some stitch markers in a potion bottle and some HP candies! Wonderful in every way!

Last week I got these wonderful goodies from my mini prge swap buddie! I love the Atticus Finch card as well as the card made by Shannah herself.

And last but certainly not least, a little gift package from my Sock it To Me Swap partner. A hand knit wash cloth, soap and lotion (not pictured because it is my shower?), handmade stitch markers, a "mix" cd, and a Godiva Chocolate bar (not pictured for obvious reasons). Isn't that just the coolest wash cloth? She designed it herself!

So, now I have to start knitting socks for my Sock it To Me Swap partner and for my Hogwarts Swap partner. And add them to Ravelry.

It's Not Easy Being Green

I am dangerously close to finishing the first sock for my Hogwarts Sock Swap Pal. A few more inches to go to the toe! I am using Savvy Minx's Slytherin yarn and the famous Jaywalkers patern. I really love the way the gray spirals around the sock like a slithering snake. I hope my pal likes it!



And, to celebrate, I couldn't help casting on some socks for myself last night. I feel silly about that in light of the knitting I need to accomplish in the next few months but I couldn't help it. The yarn is form the Yarning Yenta via Etsy. The colorway is Kermit Loves Piggy and it self stripes! So bright and very soft. I'm using 0's.
