Friday 3/20 Spring Has Sprung!

Right!
Well here in Alaska the sun is shining!!!
I've been busy with work and personal things. May husband is having a health issue so that's has been #1 priority. Knitting has taken a back seat. I'm working on the heel of my 2nd "Slouch" sock.  We're gettong ready to go on vacation so I'm planning my knitting first, what clothes to pack 2nd. We have some exciting news! #1 Grandson told us the other day that his going to be a big brother!!! Sometime around the first of November.
Well I'll write more later. 
 
If you've a mind to pray..please say a prayer for my husband!  God knows!!!
Till next time
Happy Knitting
God Bless

WIP'S and Finished

What I'm Doing – Work, work, work - finally the project is almost done. Now to get caught up before we go to Arizona.

 


WIP – I finished the birthday scarf and fingerless mittens for a friend. 2 Weeks ago I took a refresher class at "Knitting Grounds" on the Entrelac scarf. See picture. I'm making this with  Trendsetters "Tonalita". The yarn is 52% wool and 48% acrylic. I'm not liking how it felts to itself. The colors are great and its so so soft. I'm planning on finishing Entrelac #1 scarf. I also took a sock class from my friend Stephanie at "The Grounds". I wanted to learn to knit socks on a small circular 12". Well for my foot size I think I'll need a 9" circular. I'm making the "Slouch Sock" out of Socks, Socks, Socks. Which is a great book.  I'm to the toe decrease on #1 sock and I'm on the 3 slouch on #2 sock.


What Audiobooks I'm Listen To – I'm listen to "Divine Justice" By David Baldacci read by Ron McLarty in the car. I find myself sitting in the driveway all the time. A great listen. Also on mu Sansa I've listened to  Spare Chanfe bye Robert Parker read by Kate Burton. 3*.

What's On My Night Stand -  Been to tired to read

What's Pod Cast - On My Sansa - I-POD  "Knitpicks", "Sticks and Strings", and Let's Knit 2-gether".
