A new knitting project...

I am working on a pair of socks for my husband. 

I am at the toe decease on sock one. I am working these on size 3mm DPN's (double pointed needles). The yarn that I am using is Wool-Ease Slate Heather 4 ply. I had this yarn in my stash for a while so I don't know   where it came from or even if it still can be purchased.  

 

My husband wears size 11.

So as I was knitting, it seems that the sock looks extra long but when Billy tried it on it fit to a T. So now for the decrease of  the toe. Then I can start on sock number two. 

This is a pattern that I got off Ravelry, the actual pattern came from Man's Hunting Socks by Caryn Leighton.  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mens-hunting-socks

I know its been a while....

Here are a few things that I have been working on over the last couple of months. This yellow and pink sweater is for one of my nieces for Christmas. The purple and cream colored sweater is for my other niece for Christmas. 

Here are a couple of hats that I have made for Christmas.

I was on Facebook yesterday and I saw this from Knit and Crochet Now! 
I thought that would a great idea. I actually have one of these in my yard sale that I have been having, looks like that I am not going to sell it now. NOW I just have to start saving toilet paper and paper towel rolls so I can wrap my yarn on them.

5th Book of the summer..

Well I decided to read "The Ballad of Ballard and Sandrine", it hasn't been that bad of a book so far. There are only 93 or 94 pages in it all together. I am on page 64 I believe so one more day and I will be done with it.

Another update on book 4...

Well as of today I have stopped reading the book "The Sunflower" I wasn't really interested in it. So now I am starting to read another book but I haven't made up my mind on which one I want to start on. These are the 3 selections that I have in mind right now.

1."The Ballad of Ballard and Sandrine" by Peter Straub


2. "Betty and Friends; My Life at the Zoo" by Betty White
         
3. "Purgatory" by Tomas Eloy Martinez

Knit Log Cabin Project

.










I have started a new project, it is a Log Cabin Blanket by http://verypink.com/2012/02/15/log-cabin-scrap-blanket/. You can find her video here at the link.

The blanket that I am knitting is made up of all different colors as well as what you see here. My border is going to be different then this one though. I have pictures of the one that I am knitting I haven't been able to upload them yet

Update on Book 4..

I have officially started reading on my 4th book. I am on page 20, this book is a continous read. There are no actual breaks such as chapter listings. So far the book is just talking about Simon and how the living arrangments are in concentration camps. That is practically where I am at right now in the book.
