~Why I Was Knitting With Toothpicks~

Here is what I entered in the first Lazy Daisy Peep Diorama Contest!

~Little LYS On The Prairie~ Check out some of the other submissions, HERE.

They had me in hysterics, let me tell ya! This was a fun little project! The girls worked on it with me, and we had so many giggles!!! I soon realized that I didn;t really need the toothpicks to knit with....my size 1 DPNS would have worked just fine. Oh well, lesson learned for next year!

Ohhh, I bought the cutest little things last night....I can't say what they are just yet, because they are gifts. SO, once they go out, I will post a pic.

QUESTION, please help, My mind is at a blanc,

but what is another name for a baby BURP cloth. Is there one? Let me know if you know of a nice name.

BARB: Thanx for the Sock 101 link! I printed the whole tutorial, and will put it to use in in a few weeks.

HELP Please, and Other Fixes

OK, I'm making the mini sock from Loopy Ewes. I have my stitches on the appropriate DPNS. But THEN WHAT???????? It doesnt say to join. So, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to. Arggggggg. I'm going to look around online and find out some answers. PLEASE FEEL FREE to leave some tips!

I have been pattern shopping!! I bought The Candy Lace Shawl , Cabled Tea Cozy Set , The Garden Trellis Shawl , and, I bought the Sierra Poncho that I'm going to convert into a shawl.(this will be so much fun, I'm sure!) Oh, and I signed up with the GCOA today!

My hubby might be home tomorrow. We're not sure. But what we do know, he will definitely be home by Monday morning. He's in Corpus at the moment. (this trip inclued Austin,Corpus and San Antonio.)I MISS HIM SO MUCH!

My brother is coming down this weekend!! He says we're going out to dinner. Isn't he sweet! Him and Bekki both sang Happy Birthday to my answering machine.....(ohh, and not together, seperate messages!)The goobers, lol!

Ohhhh,. speaking of, my SIL Tina, called and sang HB on my machine March 13th.....LOL, She was just a little early. (This is my hubbys brothers wife.) I have been playing phone tag with them. I either call when the phones is busy, or when they are out. (and vice versa) I will just have to write them snail mail.

Anyhow, we have had some lovely weather drop in. Some tornadoes have touched ground and done some damage, but my area has been OK. It looked pretty freaky out though. Let's see what the rest of the night holds.

Ohh, Selah posted on her blog again. She loves comments, so, please, drop by. She's a goober too! (But she's my goober!) Question...should I part with my bamboo? They are my special hooks. I just love them. DO I HAVE TO SHARE? Ya know, now that I thinking about, I'm gonna let her. BUT IT CAN NOT LEAVE MY VICINITY!!!!! There, now I feel good, and she will feel special! lol.

MY Fix!

I went to the Loopy Ewe! In two orders I bought, 4 skeins of Euro Online,

in Highland 71-837.

I also bought a hank of Apple Laine in color purple rain. I sooo wanted to get 2, but there was only one left.

This is an awesome shop! Sheri(blog) really added a personnel touch by writing a small note with both of my orders! (It was really nice to see that!)

She also popped a few little extras in my order! (ummmm, and who wouldn't like that?)
The sucky part....(OK, not really!) She added some sample yarn cards..enough to feel it, and see the vibrant colors. Well, why is that sucky you ask...WELL NOW I WANT THOSE YARNS TOO!!! lol!

I have another order in process. I bought size 1 DPNs so that I can make the little Loopys Red Sock Kit! It is just the cutest!
