Knitting Socks, Crocheting and Quilting News – before GOING DARK
Posted By drsao on February 23, 2011
Someone asked me today how I was doing on my sock knitting project – well, the answer is JUST GREAT! Well, sort of just great! I have 5 1/2 inches of ONE SOCK completed and I decided to share a picture of it before I rip it out and start over (AGAIN!) You may not be able to tell from the picture but this sock is VERY SMALL…..it might fit our dog, Ruby……however I am NOT in the RIGHT FRAME OF MIND to finish this sock and then make three more!
The sock that ALMOST WAS!
On a more positive note I am NOT going to need to rip out my crocheted pineapple baby afghan – this is for my first great-grandchild (and no I am not expecting one and none of my grandangels are even married or THINKING about babies yet – but with 17 grandangels I figured I should start early!) Thanks Subee for directing me to this pattern – I love it!

And I have completed my block for the Country Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild Chrismas Star Quilt project…..

And…….ta da…..my Colonial Piecemaker’s Basket Block for February is finished!

And now my BLOG IS GOING DARK for awhile (not to be confused with going to the dark side!) I have reserved a vacation suite (do you like my positive thinking?) at the hospital for a little repair work on my INNARDS. I will be back in full force soon…….TTFN!
Hi Shirley, your blocks are lovely – I am new to making blocks to enjoyed seeing them… and your crochet blanket is just stunning…
Thanks for your comment on my QAYG post for Sew We Quilt and I hope once your innards are sorted you will be able to make one…
Take care…

Hi Shirley – That is the sweetest afghan! You are so multi-talented…I aspire to hand-knit socks some day, but don’t have the time to think about it now. Hope you’re on the mend by now!
