Ruby's Chocolate Cookies

Ivy asked me to knit her some chocolate cookies, so I whipped up this batch last night and this afternoon. So easy and fun!!!!

While I wasn't knitting my socks

I made this last week. LOVE it! I have never worn a shrug in my life, and this is really like a short top, but it's so nice.

Here's something else new


I am very excited that this arrived in my mailbox a couple of days ago. It's a beautiful needle felting kit I bought on Etsy from Green Mountain Wee Woolies (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=11818). I can't wait to figure out how to make cute little embellishments for my knits!

Riiiiip

Um, you know that picture of the sock with the foot part well on it's way? That had to go. It was enormous. I learned the hard way that there's a reason that you only knit a heel flap until it's square. I did this ripping at the end of my afternoon at Gauge on Sunday, with the support and encouragement of all my knitting ladies. It hurt. So much that I had to hide the socks from my sight and cast on some quick therapy in the form of Noro Silk Garden. It's going to be a shrug.

JoMama's socks

I've become more focused on knitting these JoJoland Melody socks that I started months ago. I finally finished the leg parts, so I got more interested. I plan to knit a cream border for the top of the socks as well.
