The month is at a halfway point and the weather is changing and it is going to be knitting by the fire weather very soon. Can't wait. I am posting a picture of myself, Lana and the sock knitting machine. If any of you have a nice name for the machine, let me know. I am glad I went back to Lana's house for a second lesson as I had forgotton a couple of important steps in the beginning stages of making a sock. I'v got some waste yarn on order that she told me would be good and once it arrives I will attempt to do this all over again. It really is an interesting process. But I have discovered that although this can make a sock rather quickly, it is probably more fun to knit one by hand. This has it's cool things about it though. I think when I last blogged I was nearing the end of my sweater. Well, I got it completed as far as the seaming of it together and then I picked up the stitches for the neck and I ran out of yarn before I could complete it. I don't need a lot so I will be picking up another skein on Thursday when I am in Roseville for accupuncture.

Lucy and I took the beaded scarf class at Filati's last Saturday and it was a great class. We really enjoyed it and learned something that will be very useful in future projects. I will post a photo of the scarf as it gets a little further along. My sweater was calling me so it basically took the front seat. Since then, I bought yarn at Knit Wits for a vest that is a Berroco pattern. I have another sweater that I started and will be doing the increases for the back tonight. It is made from Artful yarn which is quite nice to work with. It has some angora in it.



Yesterday we went to a birthday party for Heatherly's oldest and youngest daughters. It was a lot of fun. Tirzah was 11 years old and Tali was 1 year old. The above picture is Heather, Tirzah and Tali. The girls really enjoyed the party as did the rest of the siblings and Grandparents.
