Yarn Store Freebie











Here is the progress on my Woven Stripe sock. The pattern was free with a purchase of yarn. I am using Brittany #4 dpn's and Reynolds "Whiskey" yarn in colors #054 and #103. You can see them here:http://www.wearyourart.com/More_Great_Basic_Wool.html. I really love the texture of this yarn and I want to keep these socks for myself. They are sooo pretty. My son had requested for me to make him socks. He even accompanied me to the yarn store to pick yarns and a pattern. Now he harrasses me to finish them when he sees me working on other wip's. But I am being lazy with them. Started sock #1 on 1-11-07 and still a wip. But I just have so many fun things on needles and like to work them all a bit.
I have tried and tried to use my flickr photos here but for some reason they don't show up. Just a small x in a box shows up. Wish I knew how to do that. But as time goes hopefully my blogger skills will improve immensely.


A bit of excitement....I entered a blog contest to win yarn. Two skeins of hand dyed yarn. Fire Engine Red is its name. I do hope to win it and make a new pair of socks. You can enter also. Go here

thank you for your comment. I mentally and physically set aside the mitered square blanket, b/c i'm not sure that i want to make a large one anymore since i took up quilting. i'll at least make a small baby-sized version but then that leaves me the question of what to do with it then. until i figure it out, the blanket will likely stay in the UFO basket.
