Socks

The Online SuperSocke Cotton socks are completed, very comfortable and go straight through the washing machine with no problem. I also has quite a lot of yard left , reckon I could get nearly kneehighs from one ball.

Back onto Twist and Shout, had to get back into the rythym of it, and thank goodness for the KAL on Ravelry, and I was a bit confused with the increases of the right front, but once I was clear about it off I went, have had to rip a few rows on a few times, but mainly a concentration issue. It's not too hard that I can't do a bit at work, and it would be quite a quick knit if you did in one go and get into the flow of it. Will take some pics, but need decent light to even give an idea of the purple shade and there's not much of that at the moment here. Back to it

Working on WIP

Not much happening, slowly working on the Online Cotton Socks, mainly trying to finish of the Skaife crosstitch, good to be working on WIP. I might up the ante on the socks, want to wear them :)

For anyone interested found a website that you can download whole books for free
http://www.suvudu.com/freelibrary/.

Includes fairly recent Scifi/Fantasy books, publisher's idea is that you read the first of a series and then go out and buy the rest.

YAY Sunshine

What a beautiful day today, so good to see sun, I was actually getting quite down with the cold and wet, think because I was at home and noticed it more. One disadvantage of being slimmer, I'm feeling the cold. Went up the coast and visted my daughter's godparents and had lunch at Terrigal today and it was lovely.

Last night my friend had the opening of an exhibition of some of her painting at the Mars Hill Cafe in Parramatta, which was a nice evening.

Elliot (below) has been to the eye specialist and still not sure if the fleshy lump in the corner of his eye is due to injury from previously mentioned escapades or a tumor of a blood vessell, going with anti-infammatories for 2 weeks to see how it goes. Not that he is at all concerned about it, there's too much ball chasing to be done. Have hopefully now dog proofed the fences


Have picked up my double rib socks in Online Cotton, and only have to graft the toe of the 1st, then start on the second , feels good to get back to an UFO, and simple enough so I can take it to work to finish, if I don't before the weekend is out.

Managed to finally finish Eclipse, have had less than 100 pages for about 3 months to go. Have started New Moon but goodness know how long this will take for me to get through it , knitting takes priority.
