A Week of Vacation

Took a weeks vacation in the hopes of getting a bunch of stuff done.  Unfortunately, did not complete everything on my to do list.  Did get some house work done.  Also completed a pair of socks and am over half way done with a second pair.  Also got some more yarn dyed.  Here are the completed projects.











I also received the skein of yarn that I won from Kraemer on Ravelry.    Plus I have a number of pairs of socks, some hats, scarves, and cowls I need to get made.  I also have three more hanks of yarn to dye.    I need more hours in my day or something.

The Rest of August Into September

Kollage McTwist Hat in Kollage Lofty

Well the rest of August saw me completing three pair of glomitts, a hat, and two pair of socks.

Antje Gillingham Falling Leaves Socks in Blue Ridge Bambi in Pumpkin Spice


Worked in Kraemer Naturally Nazereth

Cookie A's Asymmetrical Cables worked in Kraemer Natural Fingering that I hand dyed using Wilton Icing coloring.  I call this colorway Tinkerbell

Since the first of the month I have cast on three pair of socks and a shawlette.  The socks are Jen Hansen's Vokuhila that I am working in Kollage Sockalicious Mango, Antje Gillingham's Bjorn's Manly Herringbone Socks in Blue Ridge Jubilee in Blue Grace, and Anne Hanson's Almondine Socks in Kraemers Sterling Silver & Silk in Lavendar Scent.  The shawlette is Ann Hanson's Leafprints Shawlette worked in Kollage Sockalicious in Marina.   I also have several shawls and cowls I would like to at least get started on this month for the November Mission MarketPlace.  I also need to get started to two more men's socks, another hat, and a scarf plus guess I should try to come up with something for James' girlfriend.  If I do that then that means something for the other two girlfriends.  Not sure I will be able to get all that finished in time plus would like to get three or four more hat and scarf sets finished for the Costa Rican orphanage.  REALLY need to set down an prioritize my to do list.  First deadline is in early October for the stuff going to Costa Rica, mid-November for mission marketplace, and early December for family Christmas gifts.
