A nothing weekend ...

Well, not entirely true. But it kind of felt like a nothing weekend. I didn't start my second sock until Sunday night. I finished the ribbing by 10 p.m.

I also planted a couple seeds for tomatoes and pumpkins. Now that I have the indoor lighting and greenhouse I thought I would give it one more shot. I had kind of given up on tomatoes a few years back cause I never get much of a crop. Well. ... this year I'm gonna start the seeds 8 weeks earlier and indoors. Keep your fingers crossed for me that this works :-).

Oh I also planted a few orange seeds. Just for fun.

I had wanted to sew a little "knitting bag" this weekend. That was not to be either. My bobbin didn't want to wind. The thread broke 5 times. Can you believe I tried that many times.

So after cursing the machine I gave up. I will probably ignore that little project for a while now.

I went to Michael's and got some more beads. I'm gonna try making some more stitch markers. I also got some of the svaworksi crystal's.. OMGosh they are so pretty. :-) Oh look shiney! as one knitting rock star says :-) But for some reason, seeing those silly little stitch markers in my projects makes me smile. :-)

I'm done! (Blueberry waffle sock)

Granted, you can't really see the waffle pattern, but I'm done!


There are a few things I would have done differently. But I will do that when I make a second pair. I do have a ladder running down the sole of my sock, but that's okay. Hopefully it will go away a bit with washing and time.

I did do one thing differently which I didn't realize until now, lol. I didn't do the waffle pattern on the heel. Oh well, I'm making it "mine" :-)


I absolutely love how it feels on my foot and I would definitely make them again :-)


For the pattern go here.

Woo hoo! photo time

The photos aren't the best but I wanted to show off my progress. I just finished decreasing the gusset.




Besides, I know everyone wants to see my feet, lol.

Turned the heel

On my Blueberry waffle sock! OMGosh, this is a fast knit. LOL I say that *now*. I love it so far though. It is a real lightweight sock.

Oh and the weather is still windy. The sun was out yesterday and I went out side and got woken up by a *chilly* blast of air. So no walking at lunch for me, lol.

April, where are you????

Not supposed to make socks

That is what I'm beginning to think. I spent probably 1.5 hours last night doing the ribbing for the Blueberry waffle socks and the last row I dropped a stitch somewhere and could not figure out where. I even stayed up till 11 do work on this and I don't stay up that late, lol.

I suppose I could give it another try sometime today. But if it doesn't pan out again I think I'm gonna take a knitting sabbatical for a week, lol. Should really practice my spinning.

RIP Hedera's

I give up. I frogged my Hedera for the last time. I'm just gonna have to try it with a different yarn.

In the meantime I'm gonna make some Blueberry Waffle socks. I have everything set to start those.

In the meantime I've found a scarf pattern for the sock yarn I was using for the Hedera's.

It is Branching Out from knitty

So this is Spring?

Yesterday being the first day of spring I think was a typical gorgeous first day of a new season. This morning it's 27 F out and windy. I can see the pine trees blowing around a bit.

Ugh, if this is the case than I can't wait til April. :-P Take that March! LOL
