They are DONE!!!!

Well I've done it! I have finally finished them. Granted it has taken me quite awhile to finish them, but they are finally finished! WOO HOO!!!




SEE!!!


I have found some screw-ups, but you know what? I don't care, they are mine and I deserve the right to screw-up on my first ever pair!



I am now starting on a pair of 'sleeping' socks for d~. I'm now trying to knit 2 socks at the same time on 1 pair of circulars. I have just finished casting both on. I have to get back to work now so I can't continue.

I leave you with another look. They feel wonderful!

I hope you all have a great weekend!!!

It's official, I made another lap around the sun.

Ya, I'm 1 year older--ugh. I'm still trying to figure out what 30 is suppose to feel like and now I'm way over 40. I had a great weekend with my boys though. D~ took me to a fabulous little beach house in our favorite town at the beach called Manzanita. This was a very small house, 2 story and quite narrow but perfect for us.
d~ was going to go on a camp out of his own but he had come down with a cold with a real rough cough so he went with us. We all had down time, I knitted by the window and read 'A Good Yarn', D~ read his latest book and d~ was able to play on the laptop or lay on his bed at watch some movies. We even had Sandy the dog with us.

The one very cool thing about this house was the sitting area. Look at the view we had!

Can you see me knitting those socks [still!]? I wanted to finish them over the weekend but didn't make it--I had to frog about an inch or so. Isn't that the best view of the ocean? There is the street right in front of the house, but you can't see it unless you stand up and look down.

Manzanita is a small town with the best pizza spot and a coffee/donut shop within an easy walk. It is a little touristy but not bad at all, they had a yarn shop but it's gone. Just up the road is Cannon Beach and they have a great yarn shop call Coastal Yarns. I picked up some great sock yarn [of course I don't have them with me so I can't tell you what they are] and a collection of sock patterns in The Little Box of Socks.

Here is a picture of the whole beach from Neahkahnie Mountain, miles of beach!

All in all it was a great weekend!
