Always last minute.


I'm desperately trying to finish my Vilai socks before the end of the month. That means 4 days. I've just started the gusset on sock #1. I think I can do it if I spend a lot of time knitting this weekend. I finished the Summer Sox last night. As usual, I got off to a great start at the beginning of the month, but then I got distracted by other things (I knit one of two Florenz socks, among other things) and again I'm trying to finish up before the end of the month for the Sock Innovation KAL. Plus there was traveling this month, 3 days in Edmonton for the Fringe Festival and then 4 days in Niagra-on-the-Lake for Josh and Heather's wedding. What a lovely affair that was. Heather looked like a model. Thinking about Josh as a young boy not so many years ago made me choke up a couple of times. We also spent a lot of time with Greg and Melissa and the tim-bits (my name for Tim's grandbabies). Everyone just fell in love with Vada. She's a beauty. This is a picture of Tim holding her at the wedding.

We have touch down!!

I finally got it working. Yay!!

Slow going.


I've been working on these Stephanie van der Linden socks (when I should be working on one of my many other WIP - oh well). They're slow going, but they're going to be cute. My first ever short-row heel.

Still trying to make the damn blog thing work!

I don't know - am I just a big dummy? Why do I have so much trouble with this??
