HAA! I did it !!!

Well i did it i turned a heel now i am just finishing up my sample sock! No picture yet but as soon as i am finished i will post a picture! Now be warned it is a sample sock so its a bright orange!! over this past weekend i knit 2 scarves one for my sister D & one for my sister B! They loved them because not only were they cute but matching! Also i had finished them in about 1 day i started Friday night and they got them on Saturday evening. So now that i got the sock thing doe i must go buy some sock yarn! Besides that nothing new to report we worked a little on our bathroom but then hubby decided that we needed new wiring ( which we do badly) so with work he has not been able to do much but hopefully this weekend we will get some more done in there! With all this snow we've got in the past couple of days u think i would want to knit more but i don't i have just been cleaning my house like its spring! HMM...... Maybe just maybe my body knows that springs will be here in a few weeks so its trying to save me time to more fun things! Yeah... yeah that's what it is! ( Wishful thinking huh??) Well off to do some more laundry and get to finishing up my sample sock!!!

Socks.....

Well this weekend i have been trying to learn how to knit socks! They are not as hard as i thought except for when i get to turning the heel with 2 small kids and a husband who needs attention when he has the weekend off it gets difficult to learn this in peace and quiet. But i can admit that i was awfully afraid of trying something new and now that i have i feel like i am a new knitter with so much in front of me ! I can even try sweaters now because im not afraid of useing 5 dbpns at once ! So i have been searching ravelry for a nice cute toddler sweater to make my daughter! I also have been searching for a nice pair of socks to make both my kids but the yarn i had picked is awfully splitty and drives me crazy!! So i must find some new yarn to use! Well off to try and learn how to turn a heel! Wish me luck!!!
