A few newly published books were obtained from the county library. Here’s my review on them…but you really need to see them for yourself.
My number one criteria for a knitting book to land in my book shelf is just how many of the patterns in the book that I like/to my taste.

Sheep Socks-Finished
Posted in Uncategorized on November 29, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
These socks will be my “spinning socks”…especially if Santa Kevin brings me the Kromski Spinning wheel I asked for. Though more than budget allows, I know he’s working on getting it for me.
If not, then the sheep socks will be for spinning on my old wheels…they are a warm, snuggly wool pair of socks, [...]

Well, here is a close up of my Intarsia Sheep Sock. Does it look like a ewe? I’m off to start the second sock, would like to get it done by tonight so I can move on to something else. Nothing like SSS (second sock syndrome). I’ll take a pic of [...]

No pic to show what I decided to start tonight while watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory…”you’re weird”. LOL
After six hours of my life, actually more than six, as I was up by 5:20 a.m., out the door and sitting in front of JoAnn’s at 5:55 a.m. waiting for the rain [...]

After dinner it’s off to Fred Meyers (ugh) to pick up a few last things for the Thanksgiving feast at Randy’s place. What a treat to get to walk through the “Drunkard’s Path” (for you quilt makers out there…I know you’ve heard of this pattern) to go from our house to Randy’s. Kind [...]

I was so flattered that Krissa asked me to make invites for the EPSOC Friends of the Arts Chocolate, Chines & Cheer silent auction and more event that I rushed home to get dinner done, banana-choc.chip muffins made for the kids for breakfast and right up to my craft loft. Two hours and 12 [...]

Tada! Here it is, the Chicken Pillow I made for Marjorie for her birthday. She was good enough to open it early so I could snap the photo at work. See the container of pencils/crayons that is tilting it up…her classroom.
Off to create or is that make dinner…catch you on [...]
Chicken Pillow all done

Well, as I look at the handstamped paper on the box that now holds the “chicken pillow” for my co-workers birthday, I realized, a piece of scotch tape too late, that I did not snap a pic of it before wrapping in said such box.
Oh well, I can always try to snap one [...]
