Vacation

My husband and I are on a short trip to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Not much knitting done, typical cabin lighting. I did, thankfully, finish the pair of socks I've been knitting. Just had toes left. These socks seemed to take forever. I don't know if I will use this yarn again. It split pretty badly but not all the time. Seemed to run in streaks.

Not able to do a really good job following the Wild either. This is Red Wing country and other teams don't exist except in the weekend edition of the paper.

I will try to post some pictures when we get home tomorrow.

My monthly post?

I finished two pairs of socks today. Both are from TheKnitter.com. The lighter colored pair is called Margaritaville designed by Adrienne Fong. The other ones are Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Shadow socks designed by Judy Alexander. Now I can start some new ones with no guilt!

Sad note: Thing One went back to college today. The dog is acting a bit confused and her chinchilla is not too happy either.

Christmas and surgery and Mothers in Law, oh my!

My daughter came home from college. Yay! She got here on December 16th. And, of course, the rush was on to get ready for Christmas. The day after Christmas, said daughter, had surgery on her left wrist and elbow. Not too much time for fun and games. Also, the husband has been spending a fair amount of time in Wisconsin taking care of health issues with his mom. All this cuts into my knitting time a lot.

I do not have current pictures of the socks I am working on. I have put the "A Little Twisted" socks on hold for the moment and am working on the "Cascading Leaves". I need to have these done before the end of the year.

Wild-

Edmonton Oilers tonight. I need to get some pictures taken before this game. It is game number 4 of 6 that my daughter gets to see on her winter break. I don't know that she will be feeling up to too much photography though. Have to see what I can manage. The Wild should be able, if they show up, to win this game without too much difficulty. Nice to see Eric Belanger has been picking up his game of late. And I am hoping family favorite, Mark Parrish, is at the beginning of a goal scoring streak. Since the Oilers are one of my favorite teams, normally I cheer for them. But not when they play the Wild. Let's Go Wild!
