I finished the Sea Dreams Socks. Now I need to finish getting the pattern together. I used a lot of leftover yarns in these socks. They were fun to develop. My granddaughter brought me back a starfish from Florida so I used it in the picture too!

I am now working on my Watch Cap Lite and the Sport's Car Scarf.

Have a great day!!
God Bless you!!

I am almost done with my Sea Dreams Socks. I have two other patterns in mind already. One is the Scarf for my Nephew and the other is the Hat he wants me to make him. I think on the scarf I will do a sort of Chevron lace in the middle with a small cable down each side and eyelets on the outside edge. I am still trying to decide how far apart to put the Chevrons so that they look more manly, and not too lacy.
I am still waiting on the yarn for the scarf to come in. What I ordered for the hat has already arrived.

On the Gardening front. My garden is producing an abundance of Zucchini and Cucumbers. My tomato plants look great despite the rainy weather. They have green tomatoes on them. It will still be a while before I get some ripe ones. My Butternut Squash is trying to take over the whole garden. They are growing in the tomato cages with the tomatoes. They took over the beans and they are trying to take over the eggplants too. I saw that there are little squashes coming on them. One of my Tomato plants had a horn worm on it. He is squished now. If it becomes much of a problem I will take my little bottle of Diatomacious Earth and sprinkle it on the plants. It usually takes good care of it and doesn't have a poisoning affect on us like other non-organic bug killers. I will have to go out and get a good picture of my garden when it isn't raining so much.

Have a great day!!
God Bless you!!

Hi!!
I finished my corn on the cob socks. Now I need to Doctor up the pattern so I can put it up for sale.

I also have a picture of some sock blockers that my husband is cutting out. We have a web page that we are trying to set up to sell them and other items. Hopefully it will grow into a nice business for us. If so then we can really reject the recession!! I have also started my sea dreams socks. There will be a lot of surprises on them when I get to the legs. I'm hoping they will be a great pattern.

Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Well my Nephew inherited his grandpa's little red sports car. And he asked me to knit him a scarf to wear with it. Well he lives in Texas so it is hot. Does anyone know where to find a scarf pattern that is really light weight and guy friendly. Even a lace that is guy friendly? I may have to create one and write the pattern. I was thinking of using a light weight Bamboo silk yarn for it. Something slick feeling. If you have any suggestions then let me know. Thanks!!
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Here is a picture of my completed Cable Leaf socks. They are so comfortable to wear. I love the feel of them. The yarn came from Colorful Yarns (online).
I cast on a new pair of socks that I am designing. They are called Sea Dreams Socks. They will be a Stranded Fair Isle type of socks. It will probably be my second pattern that I plan on putting up for sale. I just have to figure out how to do all that online. I will have to get my Tech Son to help me with it.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Socks

I am working on a new pattern for socks. Called Corn on the Cob Socks. I hope to make this my first for sale pattern. Then I plan on designing one called Sea Dreams Socks. It will be a stranded color work sock. I finished the Cable leaf socks and have my pattern up in Ravelry for free.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

New Pattern

I am working on writing a new sock pattern. It is called Cable Leaf Socks. I will post it in Ravelry when I get them done. I may have to knit another pair in a different yarn so that you can see the pattern better.


It looks like a little cable with a leaf in it. I also made some baby booties with the pattern. The booties started out as a swatch for the socks but they became baby booties thus another new pattern. You can see the pattern a lot better on the booties.
They were donated to the pregnancy center here in town. They are always needing baby booties.

If you knit or Crochet and don't belong to Ravelry, You should join. It is so handy to put your projects in there and look back and see what yarn you used and where you got it from. You can see what yarns worked well for others and what ones did not. You can also get thousabnds of patterns for free. All of my patterns so far are free. I am thinking of charging a little for a new pattern that I am developing. I have just a few of my patterns listed here on the sidebar, but there are more in Ravelry.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!
