So Busy!

I feel like I haven't done much all month. It's been so busy at work and home is just as busy.I'll be knitting over the holiday weekend. I'll post progress in the next week or so.

I have quite a bit on the needles and will be finishing up some socks - I hope.

Sweater Weather

It's Still cold today. I could wear my sweater again.


In looking at the picture of the back of my sweater, I forgot I had stuck a crochet hook in my hair to get it up out of the way to show the back of my sweater. I got out of work yesterday and did some errands and got funny looks! LOL!!!!!!

Oh, I have Pictures!!!!!!

Here is my finished sweater!!!! Front and back view. I haven't washed it yet. I've had to wear it since it's SO COLD here. Wind blowing like crazy and snow 120 miles north.

The other pics are my first attempt at Kool-Aid dyeing yarn (mohair, it turns out) and the beginning of the Cozy shawl from Knitty.com, and socks for my DS.

DD said the house smelled like fruit while I was dyeing the yarn this weekend. She's all primed to dye her own yarn now for socks and wrist warmers. Yay!!!!!
