Done!

The Berrocco Sox socks are done! In fact, I am wearing them as I write (we had 6" of fresh snow today!!!). I love them, I am very pleased with the yarn, and I REALLY enjoyed the needle from Knit Picks http://www.knitpicks.com/ .

About the snow - we live on a dirt road. It leaves the paved road at the top of a hill and we live at the bottom and around a curve. We have had 2 days lately of above 50-degree temps. which has softened the road to mud. That means the plow truck can't come down the road, and when it freezes again (which it is supposed to do) the ruts will be worse than the mud. Ah, the joys of spring in Maine!

Anyway, I have also finished the watch with the woven band. I'm not happy with the way it looks with the thread showing. Must do some more planning to be rid of that. Any suggestions?

While waiting for my new 40" needle and sock yarn I went rummaging and found this skein of Opal from many years ago when it was first available. I hated it then as I knit it up and ripped it out. Decided since I had it, it should be used and not wasted. I am working on the heel flap now and as you can see from the pic, I still haven't knit up all that I ripped out. I still hate it, but will finish it. It has no pattern - just looks like my eyes are dizzy when I look at it. At least I won't have to see them when I wear them - I'll only wear them under boots! Wouldn't dare give them to anyone - I'd be afraid of losing a friend!

E (granddaughter) turns 3 on April 2nd. Her party is Sunday. She's a sketch - has told everyone in every store she's been in that she wants Princess Barbie for her birthday. It's about the only thing she's asked for. Hope she doesn't change her mind before Sunday as that is what we got her.

On to dinner and other wifely pursuits.

Have a great day.
