Pic's of Christmas Knitting Done!!




I am so proud of myself !! This hat was knit for Matt's Christmas present. I have to say at first I was a little scared of doing this pattern b/c it requires floats and I am a super tight knitter. But I have to say IT CAME OUT JUST RIGHT! Yeah plus he loved it I might have to make my self on as well. I got the pattern of Raverly. I just love it . I did use my own hat pattern with the designers chart. I got two alligator scarfs done as well, plus a bag, 2 pair of socks . Thank goodness Christmas is done. Right now I am knitting a wrap/scarf for my sons teacher. Then I have one more pair of socks to do for the other teacher. I can't wait to go back and knit something for my self . But my husband and son are bugging me for a flames hat. Where to find the time.

On other end of news How was every ones Christmas? Mine was OK. We mainly focused on the kids. But I did get two new knitting magazines and some yarn that my children picked out for there scarfs. ( Or at least that was there way of saying please make me scarfs mom)

OH do you like my duck bathroom above in the pic's ? I collect rubber ducks. I got to find out why my flickr account isn't working so that I can post more pics above. Chow for now

HAPPY HOILDAYS!!!!!!!!!

HAND DYED SOCK CLUB!!

HEY EVERYONE! Knit and Caboodle in St. Charles, Mo is having a sock club. They will be doing a years worth of sock yarn. I believe you get sock yarn every other month. Every time you get a sock yarn it will be from a different hand dyed company. How fun does that sound. ( i can't wait) Plus all colorways from the hand dyers will be created just for the people who sign up. Oh how my minds working over time. I better get my patterns lined up now. I can't wait to see everything. Plus maybe even surprises along the way. Can we say I'm jumping right out of my seat hear. I am about to explode just thinking of it.

I have to just come out and admit something. I am a sock yarn junkie . This is my addiction in life.
