Thuja Socks & more.........

These are the Thuja socks I had promised to post a picture of.. I am working on the foot of the brother sock, so they should be done soon, I hope. I love this pattern, and hope to try them out with some different yarn in the future. I will be sending these socks to "AKKOL", they will take them to Russia to the orphanage for a graduating young man. I will also be knitting a hat and scarf for him.









I am so surprised that today is my dear son and daughter inlaws 1st anniversary. Sure does not seem like we were in Cincinnati one year ago, Celebrating!

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!

Well apparently there will be 6 more weeks of "winter knitting". Should we be happy?? I'd rather knit out on the back porch in the sunlight!

I had no idea there were so many famous Groundhogs out there in the States.

I've been working on my "Thuja Socks", they will be going to a graduate in a Russian orphanage in August. Once I complete them, I need to cast on a hat and scarf for the young man...

Happy Knitting!

Time Slips by!

I am amazed at how quickly time seems to slip between the cracks!

I have finished and "THUJA Sock" for "AKKOL", I've cast on its mate and it is a really big sock! 12" leg and the foot is just about as long.

I'll post a picture in a day or two, I need to get knitting!
