Are all of my US friends ready for this coming Thursday? I think we are finally set and have all logistics figured out for the day here at our homestead. So, now it is just gliding through the next few days. Doing our normal routine things and then collapsing on Friday!
I had a bit of crafting this week. Mostly waiting room knitting while waiting for Josh at his therapy appointments. Here is a look.
Toe socks completed. These are such a quick little knit. Each sock take about 9 grams of fiber so using up bits and bobs of yarn is ideal for these. I did kind of chuckle reading all the comments from last week. It didn't dawn on me that when I call them toe socks y'all thought I was making socks with toe places in them. Heck, I have a hard time making mittens with thumb placements. I guess I could have called them half socks. I just figures since they only cover from the tips of my toes to just the start of my instep..........well, toe socks.
Once they were done, I still had about 11-12 grams of this yarn left so............
I started another pair. I have at least 3 waiting room visits this week so should not be an issue with getting these finished up before Turkey day.
My shawl saw some love too.
I wish this was smaller and easier to take with me places. So, this is relegated to being my evening TV knit. Maybe it will be done by Christmas? One could only hope.
I think I have figured out the turtle issue. Come back next week to see if I have conquered the issue.
That about covers all the crafting news. Other news, I have gathered quite a few items that need to leave my home. This morning I got them all boxed up and inventoried for tax purposes. I am also finding creative ways to use up our leftovers. Today, I will turn our leftover pot roast into green chili stew. I have leftover carnitas too that will turn into tacos or burritos tomorrow. That will clean out the fridge and prepare it for incoming food on Thursday.
And that, my friends is it for me today. Here is your weekly chuckle...........
Until Next Time.......................Happy Crafting and Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!!!!!
I'm still curious what toe socks are for? It reminds me of when they came out with bikini underwear and I was constantly trying to pull them up....I can't even imagine wearing those thongs! LOL! I would be trying to pull those toe socks up.
ReplyDeleteI love the yarns colors and that shawl is gorgeous! Have a great Thanksgiving with your family! P.S. Loving the Oster oven! Thanks again for sharing your reviews of products you buy.
The toe socks look great and such a handy project for leftovers. Have a fabulous Thanksgiving when it comes. Liz
ReplyDeleteLove the socks and shawl. You always select the most cheerful colors:)
ReplyDeleteLove your toe socks. What a great idea. Your shawl is beautiful. Love the colors. Best wishes on getting leftovers out of the frig before the Thanksgiving Day leftovers take their place. Getting hubby to clean out leftovers is like pulling teeth. We will be throwing away LOTS of leftovers from the frig and freezer before we leave for Florida. My hubby has no concept of a sale is only a sale if you eat all of it. If you leave it in the freezer until it gets freezer burned, it wasn't a good buy.
ReplyDeleteThey are very cute. I’ve never done socks with toes, or gloves with fingers either.
ReplyDeleteI know you've mentioned knitting toe socks, Marsha, but for some reason, I'm just now wondering what they feel like to wear. And what reasons do people wear them for? I'm always learning something new from you. ;^)
