Turn Turn Turn

OK, I Have turned the heal on the second sock. I am using a different heal from the pattern because I have really wanted to try this one.

I think they are looking pretty good. I have not started any other knitting projects because I think that I have to start finishing things before I start new ones. I also need to start taking the pictures in a better place.
It is still really hot in Mississippi. 87 degrees today. It is almost November, people! I am really getting sick of this. It is only supposed to get up to 66 on election day. I am so excited. I am going to try to have the socks done by then because it will be cool enough to wear them!
My DH is still working on his first mitten. I will have a post up of it soon. It is a teenage girls dream! Pink, Black and Fuzzy!

Coming along nicely

OK, my fluted banister socks that I am making with the six_sox knitalong are going well. I am done with the first one and have started on the second.

I have also finished the soy silk shawl I was working on. It didn't require any blocking and it turned out really cute. I wore it to work last week when tempuratures in the Delta fell below a whopping 75 degrees.

My husband, Christopher is also a knitter and he wanted his latest project included as well. It is an alpaca scarf from Simply Beautiful Sweaters for Men. He did a great job for it and will probably wear it when we go to Michigan in November.

Here we go

OK, I was so inspired by Brynne that I felt I had to have my own blog since she has two of them and takes care of John everyday. I just have a job, but I have to live in Mississippi right now which is a great excuse to refuse to do anything. I am working on a shawl right now and it only needs to be bound of. It is made out of beautiful soy silk yarn and I should be able to wear it in Feburary when it finally gets cool enough here that I wont mind having to wear clothing out of the house. I will post a picture of it when I can find the digital camera.
