Vesper !

I also got a skein of Vesper sock yarn, which is appropriately named "trick or treat". I may hold out on making a pair of socks until September so they will be ready for plenty of October wear. I really love it..... I really love Halloween...I did get engaged at our Halloween party this past year and will be getting married in October of 09.

Tofutsies

Has anyone made anything (socks) with this yarn?? I got some thru Ravelry swap and so far have not found a pattern to try it on. I hear it is splitty but that doesn't bother me. I am thinking maybe a pair of plain o' vanilla socks.

Easter Bunny ain't got sh*t on me!!

Made some really cute baskets tonite for the kiddies. I have fun buying the cute gifts and packing up the goodies but just really still don't like kids. Oh well... Everyone is getting alot of peeps!! YAY!
I made six baskets, four girly ones and two boys ones. Two year olds are hard to buy for! All those small parts!

Yarn Pirate + stash

I really wanted to join the Booty Club for Yarn Pirate but knew I wouldn't be home because I went on a day trip to Philly. It was all good because my stash just grew, alot. Anyway I hinted to Jer that maybe he would sign me up but I he didn't get the memo. I was able just now to take a peek at the site and sign ups were still being taken, so I just signed up. I hope this means there is still a spot open.
YAY

Ps - I will be adding stash to Ravelry, and a mass photo or two here on my blog. Yummy stash!

March Madness Socks

I started a pair of Monkey socks on Sunday afternoon. Here are some progression shots. Day 3 and so far I am one repeat and a toe away from a completed sock.

Day One

Day Two

Day Three

Stats:
Pattern:Monkey by Cookie A
Yarn: Opal Neon color 1930
Needles: Size 1 dpns, metal
Mods: Did 5 repeats instead of six, 12 heel flap rows instead of 15 and did not twist stitches when picked up heel/gusset.

I love this pattern alot even though this is only the second time I am making a pair of Monkeys.... These are coming along well. I want to try the purl less version but I don't want to Monkey myself out.

Gotta love cell phone pictures!!
