The yarn is called just that.....great googlie mooglie. It is from knitterly things and it is Vesper sock yarn. I am not sure I love the 3 ply yarn it seems to not have enough twist in it? Anyway I am starting another pair of these tonight for the three year old. He saw them and said where are mine? I had already knitted him Halloween socks! These are very cute and a free Ravelry pattern. Holden came home from school today wearing them. It is in the high 40's here, great day for fingerless mitts!

My Swap Knitting

My swap partner in the Color Swap on Ravelry likes purple. I do not... I have tried to find some purple love it is not there. So I searched and ordered on line some Malabrigo kettle dyed worsted weight in velvet grapes. The yarn was a bit more maroonish than I had anticipated, but I am assuming a purple lover--loves shades of purple as well. The pattern is Dashing and I have knit it before twice, it is easy and a good beginner cable pattern. I think if someone had not knitted cables this would be a great pattern for the cable intro.

Hat Attack 2

I am dead woman waiting for a WIP from Hat Attack 2. It is very frustrating, I want to play the game but cannot w/o a hat to knit. The first kill I had was in September then it took 19 days to get a hat to work on. Now I made another kill and the WIP is nowhere to be had. Apparently the person who is supposed to mail it to me has had a number of things happen in her personal life. Which is understandable but just email someone and say yes I am playing or I drop out. The game can continue without you, instead we email and wait. I just don't want to pay another $20 in yarn to continue. It was supposed to be $2 fee and you make & get a hat. The participants are not supposed to buy more yarn to continue. It looks like that is what is happening.

Well I am off to work on my Dashing fingerless mitts for a swap on Ravelry. I am on mitt #2 so hopefully they will be done tomorrow!

Falling For Ewe Swap Question #5

Here is the next question:

Do you like football? Who is your favorite team?

We do like football in this home. We have had the misfortune of being Detroit Lions Fans for many years. But what do ya do.....My husband always has the Michigan State Spartan football game on as well. I have 5 boys in this house you can pretty much count on sports being on the t.v. on any given day.

We are huge hockey fans, Go Red Wings!

I was looking thru some pics tonight to change my Ravelry Avatar, and came across this picture from Lake Superior last summer. I love it and we truly are blessed. We all love it up there and enjoy our two weeks at the cottage every summer.
