The Summer of SP

Comes to an end! Makes me a little sad, but my brain sure loves it! I was um..er.. a little bit busy with them..so I tried not to confuse each SP I had. (4) Almost made some mistakes...well I did LOL! I did comment on my CheapA$$SP's blog in my own name, then deleted it, and didn't realize it would leave my name, then tried to lie my way through it...LOL! Oh well! I had a lot of fun torturing a few of them too (sorry Fiberfool! ;) It's all Yarner's fault, she trained me well!! hehe! I enjoy giving much more than receiving, not sure why, I think I take after my Mom. Although I am not complaining, who doesn't love yarny/goodie packages in the mail!

So I present my One-Skein Final package! My Pal is Laura and I want to thank her for introducing me to 3 yarns I have never tried before! 2-I've seen and heard of (Karoke and King Tut) and 1-I never knew existed (Numei Silk Haze). I know it must have been hard for her to find me something other than Lambs Pride (which I found out she loves as much as me!) or sock yarn! Yay!! Maybe one day I'll move next door to that plant. Think of the mill ends... Ok, onto the package which arrived at a perfect time. I came home, so beat, I could barely keep me eyes open, and opened my package....

Flowering Herbs lotion from Bath/bodyworks, a discontinued scent which is hard to find, only when they feel like putting it out there LOL! Karoke yarn, and a orange citrus candle which was put into use, moments after opening.

But this to me is the best part! The Felted Clutch from One-Skein in Lamb's Pride! (see us LP junkies stick together ;)! It is perfect, can't wait to use it, and check out the buttons, they are soooo me! I've been meaning to knit myself one, but you know how it is! Thanks again Laura for everything! :)



Now for knitting content! A new fixation ankle sock! I tweaked my pattern with a little help from Karen at the KAL! I had commented on the fact that I liked how she did her toe decreases, it made for a more rounder and better fitting toe for me I must say! This is my 3rd (well 2 1/2) pair of ankle socks and it is the best fitting one so far! I used my US 3 Brittany birch dpns for this and it may be a bit before you see it's mate. You see I've had this sitting around for a few weeks, then realized I needed the dpns for my Mystery Sock KAL sock!(as I want to knit them both at the same time, and yes I want to use dpns for these) I am knitting these with my pal Cpurl! I've already had to email her pics because I can't figure out a stitch she's already done (in fact, she's probably done the first sock by now LOL!) So it isn't cheating LOL, and she gets a sneak peak at my yarn. Plus I really need the help interpreting the stitch. See what happens when visual me can't see the picture of the sock..challenging and I'm only on the 4th row!!! Yikes!
