And now for some Pic

I hope everyone had a great Xmas. I did and I even went to the inlaws it was the first time I have seen them since before my wedding over two years ago.
On the knitting front I have been knitting on a schedule nicely and actually cast off one of ndebes socks. I do adapt some as my hockey game knitting needs to be vanilla no matter what I should be working on at that time ditto for knitting knit no counting can be done there for some reason.
So here is what I got

This is my sock Yarn Blankie right now its a double line of squares.

This is Him again. I finished one of these

since this photo was taken now I need to

cast on the second one

This is Southern Pirates with Clap. The yarn is Yarn Pirate Sweet Magnolia get it hahaha

This is barrows sock done in 3IG Lewis yarn. I keep picking

yarns that dont go well with the cablely patterns

but this one is working nicely


These are my jaywalkers... I told you vanilla knitting for hockey right

So for my cast on this cycle I cast on a drop stitch scarf in Noro Silk Garden Lite I now totally get why people are ga ga over this stuff. Noro does all the work for you

Have you ever scheduled Knitting

So until recently I was a monogamous knitter one project at a time, however, something is changing in me. I am going to blame it on the holidays and trying to holiday knit but I want to cast on things instead of actually knitting them. Maybe it is the stash I have been accumulating and I want it to look smaller. None the less I think I am going to have to make a deal with myself in order to actually even finish anything. I will only be allowed to cast on things on my first day off work I don't have to start a new project mind you but I am allowed to... on the second day off I can work on any project I want in theory it should be a project that I am about to finish.

so here is what I picture my week looking like with my week starting on Monday but that may be a day off or work day
the Projects are numbered in my projects on ravelry I will remove the number as I bump them out of wip status to finished status
work day 1 --- Project #1 --- currently 8'8'8' shawl
work day 2 --- Project #2 --- Stricken with soule
work day 3 --- Project #3 --- itty bitty squares.... mitre square sock yarn blanket ---this one might not always happen since it depends on the availability of scrap sock yarn.... If not available its a you pick day
work day 4 --- Project #4 --- Lewis Barrows
work day 5 --- Project #5 --- oops I guess I need to cast on a project hahahaha
day off 1 --- Cast on --- work on that project
day off 2 --- you pick em --- any thing I want. I will try to make it something I am casting off soon but this wont always happen.


So today is the second day of work for me this week... I will be working on my Stricken with Soule when I am done Rambling on here. wink wink

Pictures will be posted weekly-ish

WOW A 1/2 BLACK PREZ

Who woulda thunk? Sorry guys as a mother of a mixed child and hopefully another one some day I refuse to call him a black president. I just cant back the concept of one persons race out weighing the other, the fact that people want it to well means we really haven't come that far. I was thinking last night how my first election was for Bill Clinton and people were remarking that he was the first Black Prez, why because of where he came from culturally well if your culture background is where you get it from then Obama is just another white pres... he was after all raised by his white mother and typical grandmother. I am not at all trying to negate the fact that most people look at him and see a black man its just a curious thing to me.
My loving husband Ndebe often declares himself African since his father was born in raised in Liberia. I wonder how this makes his mom feel to just negate who she is. Understanding that when they split up he chose to stay with his father he was in the end touched more by the African side then the Black American side. I have always felt bad for the parents of mixed children as society wants to label them purely on site and deny them the rights to be who they are. I try hard to teach Tage that he is Hispanic and white, yet when you see him walking down the street at you he is just another white kid. I wonder why people fear the race game in labeling people when its often the surface of a persons very being. When Ndebe and I have a child it will be half white half black period I wont justicify Americas neat little labels and allow anyone to call it black.

Just the same WOW a brown face in the White House amazing. Ndebe said this hurt him because it meant his father lied to him as a child.... He was told he could be anything he wanted when he grew up .... except.... Well Mr. Selli I guess this is an OK lie.

and now for some pics

These are some socks I am making for a little girl whose brother palys hockey with tage. She told me she wanted some wild socks so this is what she is getting. I got this yarn back when magic strips (I actually got a whole bunch of them) first came out with hopes of learning to do sock. I learned how to do socks and promptly left the magic strips behind.

This is my first Stricken by Cookie A. Wow this women is amazing.

I love the way this sock fit and since I trusted in her smarts it even fits my cankles. I normally up needle size or something to ensure they fit me. Sorry mom since these fit my cankles I will be keeping this pair.
