RAINY DAY!

It's been a rainy day here, and the snow is almost all melted away!

Wonder if that means spring is on its way?

Since it is a rainy gloomy day, I've made a pot of Stew and I have been

working on this~

Yep ! It is Dh "Thuja Sock", I think I will make another with solid yarn and see if the

pattern shows a bit better. I still have a long way to go, and I sure hope I

have enough yarn to make its Brother!

CHARITY THUJA SOCKS .............DONE

THESE THUJA SOCKS ARE FOR A GRADUATE IN AN ORPHANAGE IN RUSSIA. I SURE HOPE THEY ARE NOT TOO.....BIG! THEY MEASURE 12' FROM TOE TO HEEL...

A VERY FUN KNIT AND THEY KNIT UP QUIT FAST ON A SIZE 5 NEEDLE...

I'VE STARTED ANOTHER PAIR FOR DH ON SIZE 2 NEEDLES USING SOCK YARN...FUN FUN...

Progress on DH "Thuja Sock"

I started this Thuja Sock on 2-5-08 for my DH. I am not even sure what the yarn is, but it has been very nice to knit with.. I cast on 72 stitches and will make the leg 8", knitting it using the magic loop method, one sock at a time...

SO MUCH TO DO......SO LITTLE TIME!

there is so much i need to accomplish!
not nearly enough time in a weekend...
there is knitting to be done,
chores waiting to be done...

which shall i do first? what should the priority be?

i am in one swap,
and have some charity knitting to do,
knitting socks for dh,
there of course is knitting i want to do for me...

need to learn how to prioritize....

WHAT IS YOUR PREFERENCE?????

I've just finished knitting the "THUJA SOCKS", all I need to do is kitchener the toe on the second sock. These are for a young man in a Russian Orphanage who will be graduating!

I was wondering as I was casting on another pair of socks (for dh this time), what do most people prefer, Double pointed needles or circulars? I have just learned to knit 1 sock on the magic loop method. Someday soon I hope to learn, or master knitting both socks on 2 circulars..

I would be interested in hearing what everyone prefers when knitting their socks!

Happy Knitting!

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!
