I had high hopes for this holiday weekend being a fantastic one. Alas, I am too lazy & way too frustrated with people to venture out with the whole family to a suburbanized campground & just be grumpy.
We have had fun though, knitting, crocheting, bbq’ing, dinner out on the pier, Michaels 50% off coupons, church, Sunday drive, RELAXING, playing games, family movies, marathons on tv. See?? I put it all out there like that & I had a busy weekend!
Speaking of half off coupons, Tracy & I used ours at Michaels today. I love my Good to Go knit tote that I use for all my sock knitting. SO I thought my pal might enjoy one also. I also got 20 cloissone beads & lobster clasps to make her some stitch markers & row markers. For a shawl/lace knitter, which she is, there can be nothing better than receiving 20 stitch markers!!
Hers is all wrapped in the box on the left, I have mine out to show the size & shape of the bag.
I also finished one of the Eagle’s Flight socks that I am making. I do love this pattern. I am using Trekking XXL in color 101 on size 1 dpn’s. Here is a closeup of the stitch detail.
With how perfect the fit is I don’t think I will block these socks. I couldn’t get a good picture of them on, I hate the way the camera angles are all screwed up. So you will just have to wait to see them as a pair!
I didn’t get the SP package sent out because of Memorial Day weekend but I am now rethinking what I am sending. I may send her the knit bag in this package first. She has a trip coming up & I think she could possibly use it! Must repack the box, good thing I ran out of packing tape & didn’t get it sealed shut!
