I got the Spidey mittens done. Gave them to my grandson. Now I am working on some Flip Flop socks for my granddaughter. They look like they are too big but when I try them on her feet they seem to be just slightly big on her. Her feet are growing so fast.
I write down sizes in a little notebook for family member's socks and her feet are 1 and a half inches longer than they were the last time I made her a pair of socks. These Flip Flop socks are an entry for the sockdown in Ravelry. They are a do your own pattern. I am writing the pattern as I go along. I will upload it to Ravelry when I get done with it.
As far as the garden, I finally got it planted. It is quite late this year but we have a really long season. My blueberries are ready and I have been picking bowlfuls of them. I need to get out there this morning and pick some.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Spidey Mittens

I am working on my grandson's Spidey mittens. I got past the thumb hole by about 4 rows and realized that I had one of the thumb holes wrong and the mittens would have fit just one hand. So I had to frog one back and redo it. Now I have them right. It was quite a mess to undo.
I got my mulch for my garden and hopefully tomorrow I can get it all spread out and ready for the plants. My Blueberries are loaded and my blackberries are loaded now I just need to watch them for ripening. Our nut trees have nuts on them this year too. Last year the freeze got them and we had none. They look like they are going to be loaded this year too.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

ok things look a lot better now. I just don't know what happened before there was nothing there to put the pictures in.
Anyway I am using the Freya pattern you can see it closer on this picture.


I am making these socks for my daughter for her birthday on the 29th. I think I have plenty of time to get them done. I am also entering them into the Sockdown May in Ravelry. I really do enjoy doing these Sockdown KALs. they keep me going on my socks. I really love the color of these socks. Too bad Knit Picks has discontinued it.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Knitting

Hi!! I am working on a pair of socks for my daughter.
I am going to try putting a picture in here. Not sure if it will work.

Here

Hi!!
Here is some yarn that my friend Morandia dyed. She is experimenting with dyes and yarn to sell. This has 800 yards. Since I am her friend I got first choice and I just couldn't resist this yarn. It is superwash fingerling weight.
I got my Sockdown April socks done finally. Now I have cast on for the may Sockdown socks. I am going to try doing a little cable again. I seem to have troubles with them but I will try again and see.
My iris's are really doing a blooming show this year so I included a picture of them. I think all of the rain helped them bloom a lot. They are really pretty in person.
Have a great day!! God Bless You!!

They sent along some herbal teas too!
I am also showing a picture of the wiggle socks that I am working on for the April Sockdown. I am using up some of my leftover sock yarns on them.
I am almost done with them. I am really late on my start for the May Sockdown.
We had a really busy weekend. My Son in Law graduated from college on Saturday and we had a big cookout with about 20 people at our house. We all had a great time.
Have a great day!!
