Gone sock mad!

How beautiful, how buoyant,

and glad is morning!

-L.E. Landon, The Book of Beauty.

Another great week has

just zipped by and I have managed

to get many things done.

I did do something silly though, I have lost my car

keys! I have Pixie's set of keys but still

cannot find my own. Pixie went to pick the boys

up from school and I yelled out to him that I

would come with him. I put my keys down and

immediately thought 'that is a silly place to leave

them'. And what do you know, they're missing.

If anyone has a psychic mind please let

me know where I put them.

Today I quickly whipped up some curtains

for Cory and Pixie's go kart trailer. The material

had been given to me a while ago and has now

come in very handy. The material had to be thick

to help keep the warmth in the sleeping compartments.

Yes! the trailer has beds.

I have now used a bit more of my material stash.

I have also knitted socks this week. I found a cute

pattern on the net that could be downloaded.

I knitted the socks from a big reel of wool that I had

found at the Op shop. It is a plum colour and very

soft wool.

I fell hard for the pattern itself. Very easy pattern indeed. If

you would like to try them, go to Kala's blog. They are called

Laizy Maizy socks.

After making these socks I went for a quick

trip with Pixie to the craft shop. While Pix looked for

what he wanted I found more wool.

The brand is Lara Lamb and though I have never

knitted with this wool before, I'm willing to

give it a go. It feels nice and soft. It is a 4ply wool

and I can't wait to start.

And....er....while I was at it, I spotted some lovely

baby wool. I need this for my show item.

I'm happy to say that I think My friend Dianne has also

got the knitting bug. While visiting her up in Geraldton

we had a discussion about knitting. And a phone today

confirmed there will be some knitting up her way. Good

on you Dianne.

As the weather is chilly out my way, I think I better go

and do some knitting. My house is full of boys, the

fire is going nicely....all I need now are my knitting

needles and a cup of tea. Kind regards, Anita.
