A Look Into Fireman's Drawers

By -
 Gotcha.  ….
I knit a surprise pair of socks for my Fireman.
The last pair I knit for him shrank….so I got them.
This yarn was from the recent yarn sale at 3 Bags Full.
Knitting them side by side was practically painless. 
The ribbed top is done in smaller needles, Fireman has little chicken sized ankles.  Socks fall down on him…all the time.
So these are a custom fit for him. 
Yarn: Mirasolperu
numbered colorway.

 ***********
When we were in Minnesota we stopped at a Pottery shop on 
Front street. Mary Jo is the artist who creates pottery there. 
My sister has an entire set of her plates for their casual everyday use.  They are beautiful.  
Fireman and I chose some simple coffee mugs when we visited. 

I have officially given up Coffee Creamer due to Channon's enlightening post.  Day #2… not too bad. I used some sugar but no creamer!! 

 Reminder: 
Anyone who wants to send me a strand, and only a strand of yarn, is in the raffle for some great prizes. 
One part of the prize is yellow based sock yarn in my header..
….

Have a happy knit day!

Cute mugs!

Fireman's socks look great too. I have the opposite trouble with Steve. He has really WIDE feet so the ribbing needs to stretch enough to get over them. LOL

Could you send me the link to Channon's post about creamer? I'd love to read it.

Fireman's socks are the best!! The colors are beautiful. It is no fun knitting socks for DH because he will only wear black or navy.

Love the coffee cups. They will be good for tea too.

What's not to love about the Fireman's socks - the color and ribbing are perfection!

I'm going to pass on the giveaway, but thanks for the opportunity.

Love those socks! He's lucky to get such a fancy pair. I'm going to have to try that side by side thing myself. It just makes sense.

I love that you got to reclaim the shrunken socks for yourself. I also love mirasol yarns. It was one of my "cross over" yarns when I first started knitting. I'm curious, you're going without creamer, but does that mean no half an half or whole milk or almond milk either, etc?

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 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...
