Change is good

I've been doing some moving latley........ I decided to change blog providers and have now switched over to WordPress, here is my new url so you can continue to read my blog: http://pinkbliss.wordpress.com/ Also, I will be moving myself and all of my things into a new room soon! My sister is moving out so I get her old room that is a bit bigger than mine. Plus I can have the kitties with me! I'm so excited, so be prepared to see lots of pictures soon (I'm going to paint!) By blogger!!!

Socktober fest!!

I am so excited!! I am at the toe of my Jaywalker sock and I have plans for more socks throughout my favorit month of the year!! But, until I get around to posting pictures, a survey from the lovely Lolly: When did you start making socks? - Newyears eve, (2004-2005) Did you teach yourself or were you taught by a friend or relative? or in a class? - had to teach myslef What was your first pair? - a plain pattern with self verigated yarn that makes a pattern, made up of black, white and the primary colours How have they "held up" over time? - yes, most likely becuse I don't wear them much because I didn't know how to purl so they roll down and noy me What would you have done differently? - learned how to purl so the ribbing would work and they would stay up, join the heel properly so the sock wouldn't be half knit half purl when I was done What yarns have you particularly enjoyed? - self patterning (is that a word?) Do you like to crochet your socks? or knit them on DPNs, 2 circulars, or using the Magic Loop method? - DPNs, but would love to learn to use circulars!! Which kind of heel do you prefer? (flap? or short-row?) - short row (only one I've tried) How many pairs have you made? - 5, but have two on the needles Look forward to sock pictures and who I spent my Thanksgiving weekedn with! (hint: an animal!) P.S. it's my birthday soon! I'm so excited!!!

Sock in progress

So who else watched House tonight??? Any ways, I have some knitting updates. Jaywalker socks Started: Sept 17 '06 progress: ribbing done, on to zigzag pattern. 2 1/4 inches until the heel. I love the pattern so far!!!

No other news besides this. I just had to post because I received six skeins of sock yarn from my Granny on suday and I love the verigated blue. My sister already put in an order and the Jaywalkers are for me so I haven't decided to do with the last (unplanned pair, my sister gets plain socks at the moment). I guess I can always try out new patterns and if I don't like it it's one christmas gift done!!

Only the best for my baby!

Quick update. Not alot of knitting due to weather and school being in. I hope to get some sock yarn to make the Snicket Socks from Mag Knits. It may have to wait untill Socktober........ For now I leave you with this video clip of my baby, we will have had her a year on October 18th (also my birthday). I knit her this little square of some blue hand dyed yarn I won and she just loves chewing on it and felting it in her mouth!!

Non knitting content ahead!

Psssst, guess what I've been doing lately? Having fun with plain t-shirts and fabric paint! Well, not just fabric paint, I bought some iron-on crayons and was itching to try them. But first, my latest stencil creation, a little seahorse tank top
