The 10th year

Hi everyone. My husband, Kevin and I have been married now 10 years. A decade. For our anniversary we decided to do abosolutely, positively nothing. We felt that we made it to the decade mark and damn it we need a day to do nothing. We didn't want to dress up or go out. We stayed home and just enjoyed spending the day together in each other's company. It was a good day.

Today is National Steenland Holiday.

So Happy Steenland to everyone.

The socks

Death came in an innocent enough package.

But she sent me poisoned socks resulting in my demise with warm cozy feet.

From beyond the grave

Yes I'm writing from beyond the grave. Since I was killed in a tragic sock making spell thanks to Minerva Woods. She is the fastest sock maker in the east. The picture doesn't really show the colors to best effect. I used 2 strands of Heart & Sole colorway spring stripe. The pattern used is Campfire Socks. They are a quick and easy knit. The pattern was easily remembered. Check out the socks Minerva made for me over at her blog Yogaknot.

I'm Dead

I lost to my dueling partner, Minerva Wood. What I lost I gained a pair of socks that I did not have to knit for myself. Bonus!! Here's a picture of the socks I have made for her. Or just the one sock. The other is still on the needles. I'm halfway on the foot, but I have ran out of yarn.

Picture Day

It's picture day. I always hated picture day. I somehow always messed up my clothes or hair playing. I'm working on my dueling sock. The sock is helping me bust my stash. (So more yarn purchases) I hope to finish both socks by Wednesday
