ribbit ribbit In which I spend my day frogging a sock

So I feel like all i did today was frog a sock. I actually frogged the same sock 3 times the sad thing is I am doing a basic pattern. First I was working on the heel flap when I realized I cast on 84 stitches pattern called for 56... now i do have very thick claves so at times i will increase but that was way out of line even for me.

Then I was using the wrong needles calls for a 0 and I had fours in my yarn... I am use 2 to hit gauge...

third and final time i am not even sure why i was frogging i just did... I think i need to seek help..

After all this and about 8 hours of knitting today I have a grand total of four rows done. At one point Tage (who is home sick from school) said wow you are already on your second sock and I wanted to kill him....

First swap bot swap

So I got some great yarn from my swap buddy Gizmo and Chugly quickly stole it and hid it under Tages bed. Those cats really love sock yarn.Its Regia and a off white with purple spec I wanted to post a pic for you all to see but it doesnt show well. I really need to get a camera the cell phone thing is pathetic

I seem to have gone on a sock yarn frenzy oh well more knittingfor me.

I also got my harry Potter yarn in the mail Saturday it is so awesome and Tage noted right away those are Gryffidor colors are you making me a pair of socks... well i guess I am now. I am now about to order yarn from each house and let him pick plus the other HP swap is for knitted socks so I might get a head start as I am a slow knitter at times.

I casted on this yarn last night its Lornas Laces one of a kind... Again sorry about picture quality it was taken on my cell phone the colors knit green-blue, yellow, tan-brown. The pattern that came with them is k2p2 for 8 inches prolly gonna alter that i need something more mindless for hockey games. The picture is of this yarn

I finished my first ever socc

Socks

by god i think i got it. I am almost done my first sock ever. My biggest problem now is my sock yarn addiction I have bought so much yarn the last couple days.... mind you it it for swaps because then i am not buying yarn right???

trip to yarn store

So I just got back from the yarn store and got a bunch of lornas laces... went for needles and left with 6 skiens of sock yarn.
oh well such is the life of a knitter

So like i said the other day I am very new to this but let me tell you whats on the needles right now...
1. goddess lapgan that i now want to add width to--- thinking i will go with a crocheted panel attached to the knitted one
2. 3 pairs of sox --- i didnt learn how to move past the heel flap till this morning man i love knitty gritty and miss it but i really need to see it done the directions were not clicking in mybrain
3. a house scarf for harry potter actually my 10 year old son is working on this as his first project--- we are not however doing this in the round
4. one ripple made with the scrap pile

I do believe that is all

HELLO

I am new to this blogging thing but figured everyone seems to be doing it so why not. I guess in my mind the blog was for the young folks and me at a ripped old age of 34 well what would I be blogging about.

The answer my addiction of course. Knitting, Spinning and Crocheting ( yes i love to crochet seems to me that there are a lot of knitting snobs out there). I must confess that right now i have nothign on hook and 5 things on needles but that is the way it goes.
