You know what they say about best laid plans of mice and wo-men. I was all set and ready to move but I must have peed in someones Cheerios because the builder farted around getting my signed contract back to me...resulting in, you know it, a later closing date! So now it is the 24th and I want to move, like yesterday! Grrrr....I really gotta stop wearing pink on Wednesday's (Mean Girls)
At least until I move, this is all about bad karma I'm sure because I have been a little more than sassy about a certain supervisor at work.
On the up side, I found this fantastic yarn artisan on Etsy...and now she is my Rav buddy too!
Twilight Knits made me a special order neon self striping yarn that has turned out so fab! When I was in Tennessee, I promised my cousin Robbies girls that I would make them each a pair of socks. Kaitlyn had specific colors she wanted, to which I said "I can get anything you want honey" ! And so I did...I just love the fiber world!!
Little Hannah liked the pair I was working on so I decided to make them in her size. These are my "Twice Liked Stripes"...Why twice liked you ask? Well you ever like a yarn so much you liked it twice? That is what happened here. I was surfing Knit Picks and had one of those impulse moments... you know the "oooh I really like that colorway" , Martinique...I keep reminding myself now because when it came in the mail, I realized I already had a pair of socks in this color! Go figure! Lucky Hannah like them ;)
Project ScoopPattern: My Own Socks
Yarn: Knit Picks Felici Martinique
Needles : Size 2
Because I have two thirds of my life packed I am starting to get a little bit bored, and I was waiting for Kaitlyn's yarn to arrive, I dove into a box with yarn and pulled out two colors of who knows why I bought it in the first place yarn, and started a pair of leg-warmies for Raine. One down and one to go.
Another washcloth off the needles. This one in a reverse miter.
I had another moment of Knit Picks yarn porn weakness and bought 12 skiens of Swish to make a mitered throw for my new place.
Moving day cannot come soon enough!

Wow wee you are the knitting queen! Look at all you're doing!!! You'll be moving sooon..then it'll be all the unpacking...ug I still haven't unpacked a lot of things and we moved three years ago!:) Yes I hear the word garage sale in my future!!
You'll be there soon! You have been busy! That IS gorgeous sock yarn, pretty darn bright, but SO pretty! I'm sure she'll love them!
I wouldn't call me a knitting queen... it is just little stuff after all.
I am counting down the days and hoping for as little overtime as I can get away with int he meantime.
DW- Definately purge the house, if you haven't seen it in 3 years...way past time to get rid of it!
It is very liberating to clean house that way!
