nothin much


found it!
the Spinning Wheel i desire!
husbeast ha! saw me searching and cautioned me ~ we have to move first ~ party pooper!



things are moving along, the shower will be usable by the weekend (maybe), the den has been sorted (kinda) things trashed things packed things still to decide whether to trash or pack.

the bedrooms aren't totally back together but they are manageable. my only ACK! is speaking to a realtor in a couple weeks which makes it 'the month of december' and what i was trying to avoid.


the cats seem unconcerned about the disorder around here..........they should be SCARED! husbeast would like them to live in "the packed to the gills" garage.........until sale of the house....so he doesn't have to worry about cat hair on walk thru's!



be scared, be very scared :)

it seems so long.....

since i've finished a pair of socks
these are not done! (but they're longer)


these are not done! (but you can see the design now)see? little circles!


this wants to be a pair of socks! (malabrigo sock yarn....yum!)

this is called ~~ "nope, nuh uh, i'm not climbing on the piano to look at pictures ~~ i'm not!"sorry for the blurriness but snatching a 2yr old from a precarious position kinda makes for bad photo taking!

la la la!

welp, the 3 bedrooms are almost back to normal.......a couple pieces of furniture are "too heavy and might mess up the floor"...............according to husbeast (ha!)



plus he tells me "you have to do something about all the yarn and knitting needles" !!! sure! i can do something ~~ get more!! heeeeeee!

little does he know i've been searching for a spinning wheel ~ saw one on ebay - but it was in Canada & costly to ship here ~ but i'll find one! :)

was at a LYS the other day and they had someone spinning from this cute little old timey wheel ~ she has a farm and sheep and does it all ~~ shears, cards, spins, knits etc.........



i did get some new yarn dream in color smooshy!


and bfl to dye!

am waiting for some malabrigo sock yarn from Simply Socks

meanwhile....

have 2 pairs on needles......

i give, i give!


or am i supposed to say "UNCLE" ????

the state of our home is driving me batty!!!!!!
and husbeast ha! has informed me that when he refinishes the bathroom ~ our ONLY bathroom

we will be reduced to showering at his parents (3min away)

ummmm! WHAT???

i turned to look at him with the 'look' ~~hmmm~~that seems to be on my face alot these days!

and saw our kitchen sink ~ and remembered the days when my mom washed my hair in the sink (to make sure it was done right i guess??)

i remembered standing or kneeling on a kitchen chair while she scrubbed and shampoo'd ~ think i can get away with that???
oh and dude! can we put the other rooms back together before you start on another????

basic Sock!

for the 2 yarns giving me trouble ~ i've decided they are thinner than usual and that's why things aren't meshing.......... a basic rib of k2p2 seems to have solved my issues!!!! or the yarn's issues :P
one thing that didn't give me trouble ~~
ain't it cute!!!!!!
it went to live with a sweet little 3 year old
this guy ~~ he might find his way to a rambunctious 4 year old ~~ when he's done of course!

sweeeeeetttttt!

to quote a new word C D B has been using.........crazy baby :)

think i might have to do a round of reverse single crochet around the eyes tho....they can be kinda droopy and then kinda like bear ears!
this is a super quick knit ~ gonna finish the other leg today ~ start a new one (to make the legs longer so they wrap around necks)

really having a hard time

...............with these candy corn socks!!


the yarn just doesn't want to be knit ~ they are (were) way way to tight (again) and and-- i got gauge!


rip! rip! RIP!


now the yarn is rewound and sitting in a corner ~ and it should know ~~ it will NOT beat me! i won last time (with another yarn) and i will win this time!


so instead i cast on for............. this ~ it makes me smile :)


hey! our little town we're gonna move to???? got SNOW!! i so love snow ~ and all the people i've asked to send me snow ~ kept it all for themselves.

who cares about snow? just give me a wet towel
