There has been knitting - but it also been really busy around the sunneshine household. I have been trying to blog these photos for four days now... We had a nice quick camping trip in Rocky Mountain National Park - it looks colder then it was. The scenery on the hike was stunning!
First and most importnatly, Thank You Cheryl for the amazing PRGE package!!! It arrived on Monday and I do apologize for not getting this posted sooner!!! It had so many amazing things in the box, a couple didn't make the picture... There is a wonderful sock pattern that I started at work and some Iron Godess Tea that is in the kitchen, I have been enjoying it. There is also some wonderful Lorna's Laces sock yarn, and Yarn Pirate sock yarn - both in beautiful colors that I don't have socks in yet - there were bamboo dpn's in two sizes - an awesome tiny bamboo crochet hook (for picking up those stitches that I drop), some cool knitting jewelry, a cycling mag and cycling glove keychain (mr.sunneshine was sure those were for him and has already run off with them :) And a beautiful project bag from Mama Monkey - every part of the bag is well thought out and the details are amazing, I will treasure it!! Thank You Cheryl - you really spoiled me and I appreciate it!!!
There hasn't been much knitting lately - we had 6 tons of flagstone delivered last Friday. We did get it all moved and laid Friday. Now between the rain storms, we are trying to get the stones set and the plants planted. It has been a long process - but its starting to look really good! This photo is from Friday afternoon - I will try to update with a finished picture on Sunday. Unfortunately, early on Friday, I had a 200 pound flagstone smash my right hand - it was tolerable for a while, but lately has been getting much worse lately, so I go in to see a doctor on Monday - the upside, I can still knit - its the typing that is difficult!!
So all the projects that were started last week are finishing up. The Gluttony Socks (from WoolGirls 7 deadly spins club) are done and I love them - I plan to adapt this pattern to other left over sock yarn that I have.
Bag - is done - I wanted a small bag for quick grocery trips - we'll see how it wears. I have an idea that I am going to work on for Christmas gifts...
The weather here is crazy - it snows every Thursday, then gets back to the 80's on Monday... Work is going really well - I switch to 4/10s next week, more knitting time... Found a wonderful house, think good thoughts!!
I was inspired by the Punk Rock Knitters and Jules to try the Bucaneer Booty Socks. They were a fast and fun knit. I used the last of my Nature Spun from my mittens in the last post. I will have to say I love how they turned out. I did knit them a little big, hoping that since they are wool, they will felt a little as I wear them. (I'll let ya know if it actually happens!) And they are displayed on my new cedar sock blockers from Fearless Fibers. More on the blockers and the amazing Deb and Fearless Fibers in the next post...
