I Have A Problem!

I think I have a problem... Have decided I like to start things, and buy yarn! Keep starting new projects or finding new ones to start and never really accomplish anything. A new box of sock yarn came today from Little Knits and last week a box of yarn and patterns from Patternworks. At this rate, nothing will ever be finished!

On a positive note, I did finish a pair of socks today. They are done toe-up on 2 circs with Knit Picks Swish Superwash in Merlot Heather. Used size 2 (3.0) needles... which means they will basically stand up all by themselves. It's okay, wanted a pair of really heavy boot type socks for cold weather BUT we will not discuss the fact that the first day of spring is this week or how long it took to finish this pair!!!! At least they will be finished for next winter!

I also started another pair of socks today made with JL Vinca yarn on size 0 needles. Not sure if I like the yarn, it is a little bit splitty and quickly creates a "halo". Now if I can get the heels turned on another pair, they will be done in no time and free up my needles for more.. or maybe I should order more needles from Knit Picks! Mmmm!

Lack Of Postings

It has been over a month since I posted anything. Haven't finished a single project ... or done much of anything else for that matter. Must be a post-Holiday syndrome ... or maybe the fact that life has been somewhat difficult over the last several months. I am tired of stalkers and hackers and in general, tired of troublemakers. I am tired of the holier than thou group of people that can't leave other people alone. Does everyone think they have to know everyone's business? Doesn't anyone have their own lives to contend with? I REFUSE to let this rule my life any longer!!

Tis The Season

I have been getting almost nothing done lately! The Christmas shopping is barely started, the house needs cleaned before it gets decorated. Have accomplished very little knitting and very little reading... Ahhh well, next week!

Did finish these cute little wristwarmers. The pattern is Voodoo Wrist Warmers and were quick, easy, mindless knitting. Done on size 5 circs with Knit Picks Swish Superwash in Indigo Heather. Nice yarn and these will serve my purpose well.

Irish Hiking Scarf

Finished the Irish Hiking Scarf which will be a Christmas present for my wonderful hubby. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about him reading this!!

This was a nice, easy pattern made will double strands of Bucilla Mirage on size 8 needles. I have gotten so used to wool that this yarn seems almost slimey. It will probably be awhile before I use acrylic again... but it will definitely serve its purpose!

Second Pair Done!!!

Finally finished my Thuja socks!! They were done on size 4 circs with Artyarns Supermerino colorway 105. I love this color, I love doing socks on 2 circulars BUT my kitchener definitely needs some help! Oh well, try try again.... Fit is great. This pair was about 7.5 spi. I still want a heavier pair. Not sure if I should drop to a 2 or 3 needle with a worsted weight yarn. Spend a lot of time outside and regardless of the weather, wear my Birkies so warm socks are a must.

Drinking From My Saucer

I've never made a fortune, and it's probably too late now.

But I don't worry about that much,

I'm happy anyhow

And as I go along life's way,

I'm reaping better than I sowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Haven't got a lot of riches,

and sometimes the going's tough

But I've got loving ones all around me,

and that makes me rich enough.

I thank God for his blessings,

and the mercies He's bestowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed

I remember times when things went wrong,

My faith wore somewhat thin.

But all at once the dark clouds broke,

and the sun peeped through again.

If God gives me strength and courage,

When the way grows steep and rough.

I'll not ask for other blessings,

I'm already blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy,

to help others bear their loads.

Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.
