Really, I’m not sure. I’ve got three sock projects on the needles, one set of mittens, and a sweater vest for my DH, and I need to cast on some socks for a swap. I also need to figure out which yarn and pattern I want to use for the swap sock. I’m thinking some more of the handpaint I’m using for the Rivendell sock, or maybe some Dream in Color Smooshy…and a Cookie A pattern I like. Nothing like making something for someone else as an excuse to go yarn-and-pattern shopping! My swap partner likes the same sorts of colors I do, so that makes it even more fun!
I’ve been spinning, too. I’m spinning up the Alpine Sunset I got from Alpine Meadows Fibers into something for a shawl. Then, before I knit the shawl, but after I finish the spinning, I’ll spin the gorgeous red-with-angelina-sparkles yarn my mom chose for a shawl. I’ll get it spun and then knitted, so that she can have it.
After that, it will be time to spin up the Monkey Farts roving I got from Spunky Eclectic, so that we can have nice new University of Wyoming colorway hats for football season. Yeah!
I’ll need to add some photos next time.
I guess my first post over here will be a meme, becuase Qutecowgirl has tagged me!
The rules: Are posted at the beginning. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
1. What was I doing ten years ago? I was working nights in a donut shop, making donuts, so I could be at home during the day for the kids. ( Yes, I’ve had weird jobs!) I had one kid in high school, one in middle school, and two in elementary school. We only had two dogs then. I wasn’t knitting much at the time – mostly mittens for the youngest who was losing them as fast as he could, but I was just winding down from a few years of smocking and sewing pretty little girl dresses. The little girl in question was in fifth grade and was getting too old.
2. What are five things on my to-do list today? Let’s see. Consult with hubby and figure out what to take to youngest son’ sports banquet/potluck – he is getting letters in both indoor and outdoor track to go with his letter in cross country! Vacuum front room to remove vast quantities of Labrador hair (I just vacuumed it yesterday) and de-clutter it for tomorrow afternoon’s yoga lesson. Write at least several pages of either a short story or an ongoing maybe-a-book-someday story. Go to the grocery store for my mother. Practice yoga.
3. Snacks I enjoy – Ummm….I like Goldfish crackers, popcorn, anything with cheese in or on it, and of course, chocolate!
4. Places I’ve lived – Georgetown, South Carolina; Boulder, Colorado; Laramie, Wyoming.
5. Things I would do if I were a billionaire - Pay off everything for me and for the family, buy houses for the offspring and pay their college debts, and find some great charities. Spend a lot more time writing and knitting.
I am going to tag – Plainswoman!
