Perfect Day!

Saturday was a beautiful day, we could not stay indoors, so at around 1:30 pm we loaded the canoe and went to Vasona Park, it was great and so relaxing. We all had a great time, even my sock see?

Monkey Socks

Well they are done and ready for gifting to my mom (when she comes to visit ) I had a lot of fun making these socks, the pattern is easy to remember and it knits up quickly. Yarn is Socks that Rock in heavy metal (light weight) needles size 2US (Knitpicks) with magic loop method.  I will probably make this pattern again but use a different yarn, maybe a solid? We'll see.

Next week is Stitches West, I'm taking 2 classes (3 hours each) I'm looking forward to learning some new stuff and also getting some yarn and fiber, not too much though, I've been cutting back on my purchases. Although you can never have too much sock yarn!!;0)

I have a couple of projects on the needles and between my last post and this one I have finished a few things, I guess life just gets busy sometimes.
