I finished a pair of socks out of the Noro sock yarn. I am actually more pleased with the yarn than I expected to be. I have worn them a lot. Today I have them on with my new slippers that Tracy made me in trade for all the socks I make her. On that note, I started her Gingerbread Dude Silkie Socks that Rock socks on Christmas. I love that yarn. It’s just a simple ribbed anklet pattern.

I am making the Back to Basics sock pattern from Knitty with my Gingerbread Dude lightweight. It’s not my favorite pattern so I wont’ be making it again. I am not fond of the heel she chose and I find the sts fiddly, having to move them from needle to needle since I am making them on dpn’s instead of 2 circ’s. Someday I may try it again using magic loop.

I also finished the Chevron Scarf that I have had going since June. I finally took it out of the little sock project bag I had it in and realized it was plenty long! That was a nice surprise!

And, the Tuva slouch hat. All pics to come! I am going to post them individually to not eat up so much bandwidth ;o)

my Woolgirl Club package for the month of December

Who doesn’t need a Christmas Tree measuring tape?!?!?
I had no idea I needed one until I got mine!

Man I love being a member of the Woolgirl Sock Club! It’s so been worth it! I do believe that once my STR Gingerbread Dude lightweight & silkie socks are both done I will be casting on for these babies!

George’s choice of commemorative mugs for this trip to Disneyland, I love ’em!

Done & Done!

Merry Christmas, Mom!

I know she’ll love them with her FatBaby Ariat’s~

Our Disneyland trip went smmooooooth. Other than one minor meltdown on my part because George was having a hard time not stressing about work while we were gone. (I forgive him, he runs his own construction company for heavens sake.) My birthday yesterday went PERFECTLY! No meltdowns, tons of rides, presents….I love presents!

Tracy MADE, as in actually used her sewing machine, me a fantabulous wool & flannel scarf. Once I get the camera on again I promise pictures. I should have had her take them when I opened it! Why didn’t we think of that Tracy?? Darn, good moment missed. Anyways, it’s perfect. Lightweight, gorgeous mix of greens (my fave color of course) and browns. So very pleasing & useful! I use my scarves and this one is now front & center.

George bought me all Disney stuff cuz I am a freak when it comes to that. Matching mugs (tradition for every single time we go, we have way more mugs than I have room for in the kitchen but I DO NOT CARE), cutest t-shirt, fantastic frame for a picture of our group. Wanna see the picture?? Wanna??

Notice the hats? They were the most perfect hats I could have come up with! The stripes made it so easy to find eachother & we needed that! Plus, it was cool enough during the day that we wore them all of the time. Notice Sadie is in her Santa Goofy hat. She wasn’t so easy to find but it’s alright if she needs to be different ;o) Like mother, like daughter!

There are so many little details to talk about on this trip. 4 days tends to do that. Sunday morning Tracy and I went to Sephora for a 2 hour makeup marathon! We were there before opening, just us and 2 other gals, were taught all about face care (didn’t need much education there but the other gals did), then we had our makeup done by Sephora makeup artists (read: arteeessts). Rosy was my girl. She rocked! We decided we needed to go fun. We were on vacation man! Here I am

That was after a couple of hours, and she used way more foundation primer than I do so it felt like I had more of a mask on than normal, hence, the big wrinkles in the next picture

Sorry that was a super cheesy smile ;o)

Tracy also had fantasticly bright and fun makeup! I should leave it for her to show you but I just can’t!

We were beautiful & had so much fun looking like showgirls with all our clothes on!

There are many, many photos of fun magical things we did but for now that is all I have time for.

I LOVE DISNEYLAND!

IT’S A (to be born in 20 more weeks) GIRL!

Their ultrasound is done & I couldn’t be more excited! The baby is healthy and so perfect in the pictures.

Finally I get to knit for a baby girl! The majority of babes lately have been boys and while they are fun to knit for they are harder to knit for than girls are. At least for me. I have no trouble coming up with magical, lacy, sweet items for girls. It’s hard to come up with manly, tough looking, badass boy clothes. ;o)

And, in case you didn’t know, I love babies.
