I am putting these in a post on Ravelry as well, in case anyone there might be interested. I have three pair of clear shoes that I purchase a while back. One pair was to be for me, and two others were to be for gifts, when needed. Problem is, everyone I know has feet my size…big! All three pair are brand new, never worn and would look great with hand knit socks. I wear an 8.5 shoe normally, so I bought a size 9 for myself. Being a tennis shoe type of person, they just didn’t work for me, so I never wore them. The other two pair are size 7 and 8. Anyone interested in trading a pair for some yarn or anything else knitting related?
Let me know through the comments page…Thanks

I did not want to do the typical “What did I do in 2008″ post, as the last one of the year. Nor, did I want to do a “What is in store for 2009″. So, to mark the passage of this past year and the beginning of another I thought the following photos would suffice.
We enjoy attending the NCAA Men’s Auburn Basketball games every year and I take my knitting along. The photo on the left was the beginning of the Civil War Shawl during last year’s (2007-2008) season. The one on the right is from this season, one year later. I am almost to the edging and it is actually a lot bigger than it looks.
Happy New Year to everyone, Safe Travels and Fair Winds!

Remember when you all voted and chose my next knitting project to cast on? You all chose the Way of Life Stole. After a frogging episode, I finally got on a roll with this one and this is what it looks like so far. It is about 20% complete.
Here is a close up of the lace pattern.
I have also been working on the Rona Shawl. Here is the proof…
Tonight, I also finished this year’s hat for my grandson. So far I have given him a Christmas hat every year of his life. He will now have three. Photos of the hat tomorrow.

Yesterday, I received a package in the mail from Jaimi at Plays With Yarn! It is a beautiful skein of Smooshy sock yarn that I won by entering a contest on her blog. Whoo hoo!
As for the Dog on Thursday…this is the way I found him when I came out of the kitchen this morning…
He does that…

Well, I started the stole pattern that you guys picked out for me. Now I am restarting. The recommended needle size for this stole is US 7 or 8. I went against my better judgment and started with a US 7. Way, way too big for my taste!! So, I am going to restart with a US 4 and see what happens. I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, here is the carnage, and a little Blazer sandwich to keep you distracted. No animals were harmed in the creation of these photos.
