Well I guess I've started a new trend, Posting only every six months or so. But anyway heres whats going on in our family everyone is well and Lild is growing like a weed. He is allready 4 1/2 feet tall and not yet nine years old. On the knitting front I have been working on many projects. I am actually making socks, My DGU can't stand elastic due to his diabetes so I have been making him some spiral socks. And the cool thing is he does not care about the color cause he is blind. So they are the craziest and coolest colors I can find. Just a few months ago I started teaching my BFF T how to knit and we just recently finished a blanket for a friend who is due to deliver any min. It was kinda fun working ont the project tog we just made a bunch of squares and then I sewed them tog and added a crochet edge. It was Ecru and dark Purple. We downloaded a bunch of dishcloth patterns with baby symbols or pretty girly stuff and then modified the sizes to match. It turned out gorgeous. And the new mommy cried when she got it , her and daddy just love it. Also lots of kids hats I got for xmas a knitting(actually two of them so I regifted one to my BFF T). and it has lots of new patterns I was just dying to try. One was this baby hat with cables and ear covers it turned out so cute. one in the Ecru to match the blanket and then one for another Baby G boy and loving it in CAMO and one for his two year old bro C. They turned out so well. I had also made C a sweater for his birthday that was fun. It acctually turned out pretty good. I am still working now for I think three years the Corset-T from knitty gritty. It is so tedious and slo k2p2k2p2, so I pull that out whenever I am not inspired and do a few rows. Its a good one to just pick up at any time No counting or thinking involved. I am really enjoying my needles I bought size 7 dp and 10dp in clover bamboo and they are AWSOME I love them and even recently got a pair for BFF T. Well that is enough of my babbling esp since nobody really reads this.
