YoP with pictures

 

I did not post last week as I was in Las Vegas with my hubby and our best friends.  We celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary there!  Had a great time and since we drove I managed to get quite a bit of fibery goodness taken care of.

Here are a couple of pictures for you.

 Here are the bedsocks I started the day before we left and finished while on the road.  This is using the Sweet Tomato Heel by Cat Bordhi.  It is truly the easiest heel I have ever done.  I had the pattern memorized in about 3 rows!  I plan on doing many more socks with this heel.  I do my socks using the magic loop, two at a time, toe up method.  Although when I got to the heel I had to put the socks on separate needles and then put them back on one needle after the heel was done.

This is Josie's hat.  Also done on magic loop.  I don't like to do ribbing on a female hat.  I like the rolled brim.  This is actually the 2nd hat I made for her.  The first one did not cover her ears so gave that to one of my co-workers for her 2 yr old grandchild.  Now I have to do a scarf for Josie too, to complete the ensemble.  But since our temperatures are still in the mid 90's I don't think she is going to need it anytime soon.

Here is my updated list:

Spiderman Blanket (Christmas) Crochet (need the yarn)
wedding ring afghan (Christmas) Crochet (have the yarn)
Log cabin lapghan (when ever) Knitted  (have the yarn!)

 Hat for Josie (Finished October 2011)

This is the first time in a very long time I am not actively working on a project.  I think I will start the other Wedding Ring afghan today.  Then I will have most of my Christmas projects done.  I will need to do some more bedsocks but they really don't take that long now that I have the new heel process.

Just so you don't think all I do is knit/crochet:

This is Josie dressed in her Virgin Mary costume for all Saints day.  I made this for her on Friday.  It was a pretty quick sew.  Took about 2-3 hours total with alterations and all.  She was so happy with the outfit.  She can hardly wait to wear it.

Better go and get that afghan started along with the laundry.

Happy Crafting.
