WIP's

-

 Two socks are on the needles, the pink, reds etc are current WIP, once I get to the heel will switch and go back to the bluesy-green jobs. 



The needed part for my wool stove is here, Peter will come either tomorrow or Friday to install. Just in time for a bit of arctic air that will come thru starting Friday night. Will be content to stay home and watch Saturday college football then pro's on Sunday. 

Just a bit above freezing and raining, I'd bet up the hill out of the valley its prolly snowing. The wind warnings from last week didn't amount to much, usual Tatlako winds are almost that strong.

I stayed up last night to almost midnight to see if any concrete results were in on the sh** show in the states. Still nothing firm. Will check in again around  noon to see if anything has changed. The numb nutz in Fla that voted for tRump can't read or don't care that if he is reelected will start messing with their social security, boy will they start sniffling and sobbing if that happens. 

Am so glad to be a Canadian and live far away from the mess to the south.

    Looks like we’re getting rid of numb nuts! So relieved!

    Yes, it looks like tRump is done. But I want to see the door hit him on the backside as he leaves before I celebrate too much.

    Love the current socks, all the colors in your socks always make me smile.

    Sure hope that dangerous dictator in the white house is kicked out and authorities are waiting for him on his way out to arrest him for all the crimes they've been building cases for - they should arrest his family too!

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...
