Socks Kick

For some reason I'm back to knitting socks. I have four on needles right now.

Otherwise life is pretty boring right now.

I'm planning a World Wide Knitting Day out on June 14th in Racine on the lake. My plans are starting to firm up.

Earth Day Swap!

I want to thank my swap partner for the lovely box of goodies she sent me. I received my box today. As you can see we dug into the bread immediately. I love the tote bag, needles case, sock yarn and all the other goodies in the box. The recipe for the bread is terrific.

I really enjoyed this swap.

April Oh, April

When I lived in Northern Wisconsin I hated April because that's when the snow melted and the driveways were full of water. Sounds silly now. I guess we didn't have a very good sewer system.

My three favorite kids are so cute. I took the photo the Sunday before Easter. My son had us all over for a fish fry. Remember the photo of all the fish? Scott has a secret recipe. We considered the day our Easter.

I'm really in a sock frenzy. I have this beautiful Aran sweater started but for some reason I can't seem to get back to it. I have two mittens knit and I need to make the second ones. I need to focus.

I'm going to a knitting retreat this weekend. I'm looking forward to it. It's my birthday Friday but I don't care. We usually go out to eat and we can do that any time. I just won't get my steak.

I'm so tired of politics. It's all my favorite stations are talking about. I've even left the television and read or listened to my stereo. I think it's going to be like the last election. I didn't have a candidate I liked.

Wal-Mart has backed off!

I'm pleased to announce that Wal-Mart has backed off because of all the publicity. Rule or no rule Wal-Mart has to do the right thing in such hardship cases.

I'm knitting socks to rest my weary mind. Today I received my Breast Cancer sock kit. It looks like an interesting pattern. Proceeds to go to Breast Cancer research I believe.
