I had to wait most the day just to get this shot. The morning was filled with rain. The Solstice Slip sock is going by quickly. I actually have the pattern repeat memorized right now and expect to have the socks finished in a few days.

Mery Christmas

Hope everyone had a great day today. Little Nicholas actually got well enough to open his presents and play some. We actually got some snow flurries today so that was a pleasant surprise. I'll take some pictures of what I received this year (2 Zimmermann books - yeah!!!) when I get time and if I actually remember. Plus there were other gifts as well.

Sock-it-to-me Sunday

Here are the next two pairs of socks that will be knit next. Both pairs are from this year's Rockin' Sock Club. I had already started the Soltsice Slip socks some time ago but had to work on some other socks first. They are both also on the Top 10 Stash Projects KAL list. I am really looking forward to next year's sock club. Since I had already got in on Rockin' Sock Club 2008 before the KAL, than it doesn't count against the stash along. Plus it is sock yarn and we all know that sock yarn doesn't count anyway.

Saturday Sky and more

A cloudy day in Hillsboro, Oregon...

And here are some pictures of gifts from Taiwan from The Chief. He spent a week there doing some work. He actually returned on the 15th but the boys and I were sick all week long. It was not fun at all. The pineapple cakes are actually very good.
