on the needles, off the needles jiggity jig
on the needles...
(click on all pictures in post to in large them)
this isn't like me! I have 3 projects going at the same time (don't forget the mini van sock! Which has progressed to the heel gusset. yay me!) wildflower socks which are very Project Spectrum this month
which I'm not sure if I'm going to frog or not... I casted on the smaller size (56 sts) its a little hard to get over my heel, but once its on it fits very well. To frog, or not to frog?
also on the needles is knit and tonics something red. I've had the pattern forever and the yarn for even longer. It's absolutely beautiful. Here is a close up, this picture is pretty close to the actual color. As ya'll know, red is *very* hard to capture!
I'm using Louet Sales Gems Merlin Camelot in color 60-2895-1. I'm calling it Red Rose. Much more romantic, no? Its 70% Merino and 30% linen. I bought this yarn 2 years, maybe 3 years, ago at Webs on sale. This is so sad, that I have to admit it. I just got the name of the yarn... Merlin Merino/Linen Mer Lin. Holy Crap I am slow!
...off the needles
Little socks for Allysa
(see my beautiful marigold that Bryce gave to me for Mother's Day? I love it!)
I had enough yarn left over from my secret knitting, Kailey's socks, Corra's socks, another pair of socks for Allysa and my socks to knit a pair of socks for Allysa!
Stats:
Pattern- Waffle Rib II from Sensational knitted socks
Yarn- Socks that Rock medium weight in boysenberry and rhodenite
Needles- Inox US 2 dpns
Started- April ?, 2007
Finished- May 7, 2007
Notes- I cased on 44 sts. Leg measures 3", foot measures 6 1/2" She wears a child's size 10. When Allysa put on her new socks she proclaimed "now I can walk!"
I'm hoping to go to the Waynesburgh Co. Sheep and Wool this weekend, I will be schlepping Allysa and Kailey with me. (unless I can find a sitter for Allysa) Let me know if your going too!

Thanks Mom, for all the hugs. I needed every one of them...
Thanks Mom, for the lectures and advice, now I understand your wisdom..
Thanks Mom, for being proud when I made good. And for being supportive when I didn't...
Thanks Mom, for guiding me when I was lost, and knowing when I had to find my own way...
Thanks Mom, for being an inspiration and a friend...
Thanks can't even begin to say it all, but its a start.
Thanks Mom, most importantly for being my Mom.
