Another week has gone by

Well, another week has gone by. Not that much happened besides a pair of my socks wearing out in the heel :( Really bummed me out. I'm going to find some of the loopy nylon I've been told about and try using it to reinforce heels and possibly toes.

I've made some more goodies for my pal. We don't have a lot of extra money to spend on ordering things (those darn stores keep expecting me to *pay* for stuff!) so I've had to get creative .... and I've had so much fun finding things I can make!

Hope my partner likes what she gets.

It's soft. It's green. It's intended for my Slytherin partner.

Sorry, folks, the rest of you will have to wait to see it.

The HSS4 blog is active! :)

Now to remember that I gots to post both here *&* there every week .....

Hope I am forgiven if I don't always make it on time ... there is a reason the Whomping Willow added 'the Forgetful' to my name!

I've got something green & furry ..... wonder what it could be? ::evil grin::

Nobody gets to know until my partner opens her package! My only promise is that she won't have to feed it!

Hogwarts Sock Swap!

Yes!! ::dances around:: ::slips and falls:: ::drags herself up to a chair seat & sits down, like she should have to start with::

Anyhow! ::brightens up:: I've got my partner, my yarn, my pattern ... also have a few goodies already, like a row counter & stitch markers .... so I'm off! Well, I'm sort of off ... I gotta finish up the pair currently on the needles I need so I can start this pair!

Ain't it awful when you just *gotta* knit?! ROFL

Hogwarts sock swap #4!

Sign ups have opened for those returning students who are again going under the whip, er, wire to knit socks for students they've never met. What a wonderful way to make new friends. :)

I had so much fun in the last swap - I love the socks I got and hopefully my swappee liked the socks she got as much as she said she did. Seems she is wearing them for bed, to keep her toesies warm when the sun goes down. Hey, I do the same thing, only I wear mine day and night.

And yes, I do change them, and even wash them.

Posting here is going to be the hardest part of the swap - I keep forgetting. ( Yes, the Willow was right when it gave me my name.)

Well, we are packing to move ... tomorrow! .... so I need to get off the computer so it can be torn down & help finish the packing.

I'll post again when the computers are back online .... sometime next week.

Forgetful

I guess the Whomping Willow knew what it was doing when it tagged me 'forgetful'. I keep forgetting I'm supposed to come post here.........

::brightens:: The new HP sock swap will start signups on the 16th of July. YAH!!! I've already got things for my swap .... a cool box covered with copies of a map of England (where else???), needles on order, and a few goodies.

AND ..... Cassandra is staying with us! YES!!! We nearly lost her because of the actions of others, but I guess enough of us asked her to stay that she reconsidered her decision. Can you tell I'm glad?

I've finished several pairs of socks .... oh, my, gecko eyes, Firestarter (from Yarnissima's site), a pretty plain ribbed pair for my youngest son, a couple of fairly plain pairs for myself (I'm moving on to more complicated patterns ). Working on Dragon's Breath for my son and Bayerische for myself (find both patterns on Ravelry.com). Well, at least I've started hunting for the yarn for the Bayerische pattern. It's nearly a hundred stitches cast on (VERY textured cable & twisted stitches .... should keep my mind occupied!) and needs a thinner than usual sock yarn. I've actually got some in the right weight .... but this pattern really needs a solid yarn to show off that wonderful textural pattern and all I've got right now in that weight is a beautiful variegated. Unfortunately, the two will just clash and that won't do at all. Simply forces me to go shopping .... terrible, ya know? ::snickers::

Also have another grandchild on the way, so bootees and blankets are being created. If only I could manage to get that spell for automatic hand knitting down right!

Well, need to go work on either one of the knitting projects or that huge pile of sewing projects .... just as soon as I manage another cup of tea. :)
