New Cards
I made these cards for my swap buddy for the Mix Maker’s Yarn & Music Swap I am doing. I am pretty pleased with them, and i am thinking of making more out of the same papers.
FO: Brent’s Socks
My siblings and I decided not to do gifts this year, so these were originally destined for Christmas, but i got to give them to my little brother right when I finished.
This was my first foray into toe-up sock knitting, and I used Simple Toe Up Socks in Four Sizes by Kim Salazar. The pattern was easy to read, and worked out because I used a worsted weight yarn.
Yarn used Cascade 220 Quatro in color #9437, or Green. I used size 5 needles, and a reinforcing nylon on the heels and toes. I did a rib to spiral around the leg, and used a sewn bind off.
He is outside ALL THE TIME. So I hope these will keep his feet nice and toasty warm!

nothing good to say…

Thankful Month
Ok, i failed at NaBloPoMo. But, i think i needed a structure. and i thought of it. Thankful Month. This month, i am going to blog every day about something i am thankful for. and that is in December, which is 31 DAYS OF THANKFULNESS. Some of these, you may think are dumb, or cool, or whatever. I would love to know your thoughts, and what you are thankful for. can you come up with a list of 31?
Day One:
It is hard to choose the first thing to be thankful for. these are in no order, i would like to include links and pictures with some, but that isn’t going to happen tonight. So, one i don’t have to do that with.
I am thankful for my job. It is not a dream job, and I thought it was a temporary job, and a year and a half later, i am still there. But, it is a job that has security in this terrible economy. A job that i am good at, and have been recognized in. a job where i get to do different things (Have I mentioned i recently started in the Pharmacy 2 days a week? LOVE IT!) It is a job that has given me a lot of self-confidence back. It is a job that many people look down on, and don’t understand, i mean, who would have thought that i would be working retail 5 years out of college? not me. But, it works for me right now.
Stay tuned for more thankfulness!
