HSKS 5





Well I just joined the next HSKS and I seem to have been tossed out of Gyffendor which is fine with me. Who want to be a Gryff when they can be a Hufflepuff. HSKS is the best swap ever. It is not one of those Wam Bam thank you ma'am swaps. You get to know some great people with in you Hogwarts House and hopefully out side of it. I had such an amazing time last term I couldn't wait for more. There are games with prizes, trivia and even Quiddich. Come along and join us.

We have grown up this year though and now have our very own web page check it out for more info http://www.hskswap.com/

Nefarious Socks... Hannibal Lecter Style



Ok the picture again doesnt due to yarn justice. Its actually deeper browns with specs of red and flesh color in it. I have cakes the yarn and while playing with it decided to make Monkeys with it by cookie a.

Yes folkes you know what that means I finished the twisted flowers. They came out great and think they will be going to my mom as my cankles make them look odd.

Life goes on


So the new job is ok although I am not sure its the job for me besides it really cutting in to my knitting.

I cant seem to finish these damn twisted flowers I love the pattern but I so want something new on the needles and I promised myself I woul finish these first. I think as I get needles in swaps etc. I need to hide them so i dont have extras makes it far to tempting. I now seem to have gained about 3 sets of size 2 needles so I could finish the twisted flower while working on something else right. Who am I kidding I am on the toe od the second sock what the heck am i whining for. I dont think my fat legs do this great pattern justice. Come to think of it i think my biggest problem with the sock is i have decided i dont like solid yarns. So here is my problem I love Cookie A's patterns but they dont love crazy yarns... might try one in it anyways they are my socks right
Ok so I am going to go finish this dang sock so i can start something new in the am. I am expecting my first shipment from a sock club tomorrow and possibly my Cookie A swap ... yea... new stuff.
