Day 25, 2015 Baby Socks

By -
I was only able to score one skien of 
Schoppel Wolle Ambiente in 1862 Magic.  At my LYS. 
So, I did the obvious knit thing:
I knit baby/toddler socks. 


 Don't know who is going to receive them, but I love them. 
The yarn is great.  I knit them on 4s.  I knit the ribbed portion on 2s.  36 stitches total. 
The yarn has a good spring to it.  It is not splitty. 
I would recommend it.  

I am not a fast knitter. I was shut away in Allison's old bedroom for the last 2 days.  I have a cold and refuse to share it with Fireman and Zach.  So I hunkered down and turned on the humidifier and knit with pretty yarn. 
And I listened to radio podcasts about Dear Ernie Banks.
I also listened to cooking podcasts on WGN radio. 

This is our pretty scenery....not so much.
It is snowing today so we will have some very pretty white on the trees.  I don't have to leave the house..and boy does that make snow tolerable. 
Be careful out there if you are on the roads. 
I don't want any pretend friends having troubles today! 
I don't even want you lurkers to have any troubles...
ahem..you know who you are!!! :)

Wishing you well, Kathy! I picked up a virus yesterday and am hunkering down to get rid of it pronto [please God] The socks are adorable. You made good use of your quarantine. Hope I can get some stitching done on my cowl and a rainbow potholder. xx

love the wee socks and I think we are going to get an inch or so. Nothing dramatic I hope!! Unless it's just pretty snow, that is okay by me.

Get well soon, my friend.

You make having a cold sound almost fun!
I love how you are always making things and then figuring out who they will belong to. That makes much more sense than the other way around!
We are expecting that big "blizzard" they've been talking about all week on the weather channel. That usually means we won't get a flake. I hope I'm wrong. I'd love to be snowed in for a few days.

So sorry about the cold, but good excuse for some "me" time and time to knit. No snow here so we are safe.
Hugs,

 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...
