Kids Socks

-
Have been working on socks for Miss E who will start school this Sept, one pair done and almost finished with first sock of second pair. Smaller socks are for her brother, will by and by make a second pair for him as well. These are for Jo's grandchildren, Jo hauls my garbage to the dump twice a month or so, gets grandchildren with warm feet from the deal. The two reds are going to be exactly the same size so they could be mixed.


While at NwRSA conference they had a library dispersal sale, I didn't go up with the main crowd, waited til it was down to 2 or 3 people, likely all the good stuff would be gone, NOT. One of the books I'd been wanting for 10+ years was still there "Knitting in the Hebrides" by Alice Starmore, the Robin Hansen Mitten book is another that I'd been thinking about. K in the H was $35, Hansen book $5, third book was one of the last ones on the table by this time books left were free. Picked it up for someone local that weaves Navajo rugs.



Was supposed to go to Knitting Bee yesterday but instead tweaked my lower back, twisted the wrong way with a heavy Kleenex involved. Already today its much better. Not wanting to try and move anything heavy tho.

    Love the socks. Thanks for showing us the books too. I'm researching them but trying not to buy as I'm decluttering ;-)

Finally got myself to town Dec. 27-28. Prescriptions, haircut, groceries, and most important getting bank Visa problems straightened out. Tried dealing with bank via telephone and both times I connected got someone that wouldn't acknowledge that I was hard of hearing, heavy accents didn't help. Had 7 charges for Play Station almost $1000, since I've never even seen one, wasn't me . Because of all the weird charges they wouldn't activate the new Visa card. A good weather window opened so in I went, took almost an hour getting everything straightened out. Meanwhile when I did get to the grocery store almost filled my buggy with produce and fruit. Had help unloading the car when I got home Thursday 3 ish. Did bring a nasty bout of the local crud home with me, first time in several years that a cold hit me so hard.  One of the first pair of Koigu gloves I did were for me, but last winter I snagged middle finger on a nail on my handrail, brought them up front, cut off da...

Gloves and such

In 2015 I sent Jean Miles in  Edinburgh a surprise pair of the gloves I'd been working on while rereading her blogs, first pix one taken at her place. Second taken while dressed in woolies to go on an recent outing.                       Orangerinos all finished waiting for a dip thru a Eucalan bath.  Current pair started with a base colour of turquoise, leftover Koigu choices are getting a bit thinner but still have enuff to finish this pair. When I first started saving Koigu it could be had for $9 a skein, now  I believe its over $16 US (means almost $21 Canadian, plus crazy post from wherever it comes from). Also have socks on needles, this is one of the last pair ordered (ahem a couple of years ago), no pix yet as I believe they are to be a surprise. For the most part this winter has  been verra mild, right now there isn't any snow, none. According to weather peoples we are due for another blast of arctic a...

 Long time.  Made these for a  lady  in  Banff,  she chose the colours. When I sent a pix she said she didn't like  where and how I'd placed the colours in the patterns. Slowly I replied. Then she said when I knit the next pair to put this colour with another etc, again  slowly (burn underway)  I told her that it didn't work that way.  Wouldn't do another, so she said she'd take them the way they were with a discount.  Honey, to late sold them elsewhere. And I 'm glad I don't take any  money  up front. Fraternal and size 10. Have come really close to making the ugliest Monstersocks, bottom pix are closest so far. Was without the internet from 15 - 29 April, amazing how  much  knitting time that freed up. Did the  3 pair shorties in  that  time frame, mix and match.  All are the same number of rows approx sized 7.5 to 8.5.   Next pair  were to fill an older order. Spring has finally s...
