Progress Report.....

Well, some of you may remember my previous post when I showed my very slow progress on my first pair of socks.... Well, I am happy to report that I have made a decision and I CHOOSE to love sock knitting! And so, with that choice made (for reasons I will explain in a bit) I would like to show you the status today of that very same sock....




Ok... How exciting is that?? I am now stuck, of course, until my daughter has time to help her mother figure out the whole heel thing, but I do believe they will soon be on my feet! Don't you love the colors? They go perfect with jeans (which I wear everyday!)



Ok, and now the reason I am choosing to LOVE sock knitting.... Because I cannot stay away from The Loopy Ewe and all the fun yarns that Sheri carries. Every time I visit her site and read her blog I just know that I have to do it. I HAVE to be a sock knitter!


This box came Saturday from The Loopy Ewe.
It is some new yarn that she has called Sweet Georgia Yarn. It feels so yummy. And now she has some All Things Heather yarn that I am pretty sure I need....




On the bag front, I am currently working on the Trellis Tote. I loved this bag the moment I saw the pattern and knew I had to try it. Designed by Diane in Chicago, it is basically a slip stitch pattern (like my ballband bag). I am knitting this with a Galway Highland Heather and Noro. Can't wait to felt it.




I am also ready to cast on my next modified Vintage Bubble Bag. Not sure yet how I will work these colors exactly but they are beautiful. I know that this project will have to come after my husband's clogs.. because he keeps asking me if I have started them yet... Too many projects.. too little time.





So I should sign off and head back downstairs to my little corner on the couch where I love to knit ... with Little Sumo laying on my feet keeping me company. (ok, he is not so 'little' but this is what we have always called him.. even when he tipped the scale at over 100 pounds!)


Until next time....
