It's a bird...It's a plane....

<---- heel



It's a two toed sock! 




<---- toe

I can't wait till it's finish them. 

This may be my new favorite way to knit socks.  Although I do still love a good ol heel flap. 
Maybe I'll just use this method for knee high socks. 

I wish I was a duck

It's the third day of rain.  Which, to be honest, I don't really mind.  I do enjoy the rain a bit more in the summer, I'm already barefoot most of the time so it makes puddle jumping that much easier.  I actually haven't puddle jumped in a while.  I'll have to fix that, it's fun. 

I finished the toe heel, teel? toel?  and am now opening up the part where I had the waste yarn.   I didn't close up the toel because, honestly, I'm not sure I knit the foot long enough.  We shall see!

Well, what do we have here...

It's a sock.  Actual knitting! And a picture!
Amazing!

I am actually at the second toe/heel decrease now.  once that's completed I'll show you. 

So far so good.  :D

Or Not

I'm impatiently awaiting my Boy and his Bow yarn.  Silly USPS hasn't updated the tracking information so, no new pictures. 

However, I'll be trying something new this weekend, and afterthought leg.  I know right!  Looks easy and I've been reassured that it is in fact as easy as it looks.  I am still skeptical.  I'll be trying it tomorrow and will let you know how it works out. 

The Postman Always Rings Twice...

I got some pretty yarn in the mail today.  It's from BohemiaFibers, she is a wonderful dyer. 
It's a Trunk Yarn.  The color was a mystery, but, I couldn't be more pleased with it.  Blues, tans, greens, maroon.  It's fall, in a sock yarn.  Perfect & soft. 

She has made a yarn club based on The Walking Dead, that I have joined.  I should be recieving the first installment tomorrow! :)  A Boy & His Bow.  A beautiful tan, blue & sea green color based on the one & only Daryl Dixon. 

I will also be getting some mini skeins in other various Walking Dead inspired hues. 

I can't wait to get them!!  I was originally going to make hexi blanket, but there are SO.MANY.ENDS!  So, I am making a mini mania scarf.  I can't wait. 

whoa

Holy new blogger batman!
I didn't think I was gone that long, with, so many changes. 

The question you're all dying to ask...'Where in the world have I been?'
Packing.  Packing has become my life, or close to it.  So, no knitting, new or otherwise.

I'm still playing on Ravelry, in fact, with the 2012 Olympics coming around in July, the buzz of the Ravelympics has started!  I of course joined, on the The Knitting Dead thread (ha ha that rhymed) and am now team captain!  We're up to almost 70 people on our team, if you want to join feel free, no knitter left behind!

I joined a 3 month yarn club, for The Walking Dead (TWD), and let me tell ya I can't wait to get my first installment, the colors are beautiful!!!

and then there's the mini skein I'll be getting...also TWD themed.  Soon, I will have a TWD sock blanket to snuggle with when the ZA hits.  I can't wait. 

What's new with everyone?

Fork you bitches!!!

So, my friend and I had a little date, dinner and a dvd.  We went to our regular chinese food place.  Usually, I, being the talented creature that I am, will balance a spoon on my nose, seriously, I do this everywhere, prom, my wedding, other people's weddings, it's my schtick or however you spell that.  I post them, people comment, we laugh, "oh that Pam and her nose..."!    One comment: always a spoon, why not try something other than a spoon?  Then the gaunlet was thrown and the CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

So my lovely friends here, is a Pammy with a fork on her nose. 

and for the record, my hair is not purple, my phone just makes it that color. 


Still no knitting to report.  Chez Sleeping Si will be moving at the end of the month, so there has been packing.
