The Doctor

I have been knitting, and knitting. My sister is having a baby in June so I started a baby afghan that I have decided to design myself.  I have one Weasley Homestead sock done! Yippee! I am past the cuff and onto the second pattren repeat for the second sock.

I also have one of my socks done!

Sadly however I have not yet cast on for the second one.

I got some exciting mail this past week. I ordered some books and they finally got here. I got Knits Men Want, by BruceWeinstein and  Knit, Sock, Love by Cookie A.  Both are excellent, I had to read through them a bit when I got them.

I started some christmas knitting also, I know, I know I might be a bit of an over acheiver here but I wanted to be sure that I had time to get things completly done this year.  I have been just sitting here, when not at work of course, watching Doctor Who and knitting up a storm.  I am thinking that I have gone through three whole seasons these past couple of weeks.    This weekend I am off on a girls day with my sister and we will be baby shopping. I cant wait.

The Start.

      Welcome to my very first blog post. I have not attempted this kind of thing before so I guess I will see how it goes. In case anyone is wondering I have named this blog after my wonderful doggy Jake, my DS and I  adore the "old man."

     I started this blog to keep a record this year of all the projects I have either finished or am currently working on at present. So I will get right to it. Right now I am working on a couple of pairs of socks one for myself and one for my son.  First of all I will start with my son's socks I am making The Weasley Homestead by Erica Lueder. Using stroll tonal in Foliage. Right now I am just starting the third pattren repeat on the body of the first sock and just moving right along. My son is loving how quick they are working up, I have to admit that I am also loving this. The pattren is great. I am using a 1.5mm 40" circular working in magic loop.

And now onto my socks, and yes there is kind of a theme going here. For myself I am making Hermione's Everyday Socks also by Erica Lueder. Again with the stroll tonal in the colorway Canopy, which is a lovely green. Using a 2.75 mm 40" circular needle working in the magic loop. I am just three or four rows past the spot where I have added the waste yarn for the afterthought heel.

Well I think that is about all for this post so I hope everyone has a good rest of the week. Blessings to you all.
