My No-Purl Monkwy Socks.  Beaded!  Love, love, love 'em.!!

It's been a very long time since I blogged, because I've been busy knitting!  I've just about finished everyhting that was OTN the last time I wrote.  Terri is wearing her socks, the makeup bags for the girls are done except for the lining and buttons..don't remember what else was there.  But I've also made a darling sweater for Carter, which probably wasn't even on the horizon then.  Oh, yes.  The no purl monkey socks are done as well.  November was very productive! 

I've started another pair of Mermaid socks, this time toe up.  I'm waitng for advice from the Socknitters list re: the afterthought heel before I contiue.  Let's see if I can get some pictures in this thing....

Terri's socks from the Sock Calendar, Socks for All Seasons February,  Modern Romance.    The yarn is georgous; soft and snuggley, but the pattern doesn't really show too well.  She loves them and that's all that counts.

This is a stock picture of the cosmetics bags.  I haven't photographed the ones I made.

WIPs
1)  Terri's socks.  Waiting for another ball of yarn.  Who sells balls of yarn that weighs 66 grams? 
2)  My socks.  No purl Monkey socks with beads above the YOs.  I'm so excited that I spent the entire evening reading email instead of knitting.  Will someone explain me to me, please?
3)  Four, or was it five little make-up bags for Chanukah gifts.  One started about a month ago...

I've seen things lke this on other blogs, so I thought I'd try to add one.  Here goes nothing....

Get Your Cyborg Name

Well, something has finally moved me to post a post on my blog. It's STITCHES EAST. OMG! What fun! I went with A and women from her crochet guild. Nice people. Someone should teach them to knit. lol It's a joke, keep you hooks off of me.

It was fabulous. We got there early, before it opened. Since the crocheters were volunteering to teach crochet they let us in early. As I had no official duties I proceeded to wander aound and look at all of the bountious amounts of wonderful stuff. I was so happy I almost cried! Really!!

As we are in the first month of attempting to live within our means, ha, I didn't have alot of money to spend, but I still managed to spend more than I should. But oh man. I could have bought a whole bunch more.

I didn't take any pictures there so the only illustration for this post will be the photo of my stash enhancement commited there.
