Now for another sock story!


Tis true! I almost finished my Northview socks so I had to start another pair. You know the best way to keep track of those needles is to keep them in use. I fully intend to do just that. Anyway this is a red variegated with brown pair. It is working up nicely. And the pair in the picture is out of the most expensive sock yarn I ever purchased. There I said it. Now I can buy more! Sometimes I feel so smart. Then I remind myself that I've not found the book I was looking for last week yet. So I'm off. I teach something tomorrow at Northview. Hey I taught computer apps today. And I learned something.

Getting ready!

Well we'll put mom on the plane for Florida in the a.m. Yes I know that I said that Indiana was the new Florida. But mom's sister wants her to come for a visit. She'll be gone during their anniversary. Since that was always a party, it's probably better that she leave this first time. Her oldest sister is there too so it'll really be a reunion of sorts. Then a month later we want to take her to a baby shower in Virginia. Todd sent her the invite today. When she read the time, 1:00-4:00, she said she can't afford to go out for 3 hours. I almost died laughing inside and then she giggled. I love it. These are really tiny socks compared to the others, but I think they'll fit Matt. The colors are sorta orange sherbet and lemon and white. Cool colors for a cool kid. Co 19 on sz2 dpn. Index finger measurements.

Raining all day

I heard that we had an inch less rain today than we usually get for a month. I know that's a confusing sentence but it's true. Then Jesse Walker,the weatherman, said "Just think had it been snow!" Blessings come in big puddles. It's not that I don't like snow,but spring is just around the corner. And I say let it come!Here! I ate at Mom's after school. Taught sewing today and had a girl run a needle through her finger. All she said was "I'm bleeding." Calm.That's the way to do it. Anyway I finished another sock at Mom's. Now I hope that there's enough yarn for its mate. I love orphan balls of yarn.These are Matt's socks with a co19 on size 3dpn. They are as long as my index finger. All our kids' feet were,so I'm assuming his will be too. I loved the remnant basket in the quilt shop, ergo orphan balls.
