On to the next knit

I finished these socks on Wednesday. Although they do not match perfectly, I think they came out great. They belong to Zach now. Next up: I'm using up some leftover yarn and making a pocket scarf. I think having pockets in a scarf is a great idea. For as long as I've been knitting I've thought it would be fun to make one. So here goes. ...

My sister in law gave me a belated birthday gift at our Thanksgiving. She baked 3 boxes of Christmas cookies for me. I love cookies. What a fun and perfect gift. Since the kitchen is in the middle of a makeover, the cookies are especially appreciated!
The hopes for the coming week are priming, painting and laying the floor. :) One day at a time.....
I talk more in the comments!

I new kitchen for Christmas and cookies while you wait--perfection!

I love the socks and I'm of the "nothing has to match" school. Can't wait to see the pocket scarf.

BTW I am still blogless. Must have been some mean hacker!

Nothing beats a nice new pair of handknitted socks. I need to knit some.

I'm so jealous about the homemade cookies. I love holiday goodies.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
