Week End Wrap Up

The problem with knitting a few things at a time and giving them each a little attention when you can, is that everything is finished up in a flurry.  Brier, Lady Hat, Grrlfriend Gloves, DFS,  and even some charity  knitting, all came off the needles in the same weekend.  Several things have been put into process since, but they are ALL in the beginning stages.  Nothing very much to blog about, so it seems. (Except 'the process over and over AND over again.)

Thank goddess, however, for dear Emilie's small feet.  One sock is finished and the other should be wrapped up soon. Seaweed  hasn't had much attention, nor has Sally's Funnel Sweater, as sock knitting, both good and not so good, has taken most of my knitting time. Emilie's sock has been comfort knitting, a well behaved Child's First Sock from Knitting Vintage Socks. I love the Koigu and the pattern shows up nicely, too.

Jaywalker's may be ready to behave but there has been little progress from yesterday's photo.  The new yarn is Hand Painted sock yarn from Dorchester Farms. (Color name isn't listed on the skein.) It's a softer yarn, in that it has less twist than Koigu and knits at a little larger gauge, producing a less firm than Koigu.  There should also, be plenty of yarn unlike some other knitters.  The charm x 3 seems to be working.  My new motto is 'they will fit someone!'

Suzy sent the boyz a lovely treat of her home made peanut butter biscuits. They were in heaven! The only time they will stand side by side, without picking on each other, is when there is potential for a treat (sibling rivalry is alive and well). With a little bribery they posed together for Lizzy B.

Moxie and Murphy.

It's warming up a bit and might just hit freezing this weekend.  We still have sun, with the threat of an inversion looming...it's warmer at the resorts than in the valley. Our weekend is so busy that it's doubtful we'll make it up to the mountains, but it will be lovely nonetheless.

Enjoy your weekend!

The boys look only like angels! I'm sure you are talking about some other dogs.

I'm curious to see what Funnel turns into.

Love the puppy pics ;) Peanut butter is our girls' favorite treat!

[Carole]

What a sweet picture of the pooches! Enjoy your weekend. Hope it's not so busy that you don't have some time for relaxing and knitting.

Moxie and Murphy.......how perfect! Drinking Moxie in the summer is one of my favorites, especially when a splash of Captain Morgan is tossed in....

Emilie is going to love her new socks!

[Beth]

Peanut butter treats for my dogs' playmates is on my to-do list. Maybe this weekend?

[Cassie]

You gotta love those small-footed people. ;-)

[Cara]

I thought that Jaywalker yarn looked familiar! So happy it seems to be working out for you!

LOVE the mountain picture. Perfect colorway!

[Judy]

Small feet, must be nice. DO you suppose they fall over in a good wind? Must feel great to have finished so much recently. Have a good weekend.

[Wendy]

Those sure are some cute little doggies!

[Janine]

What stunning photos, both of the boys and of the sunlight on the mountains.

[Norma]

Those boyz are so cute. And that mountain picture -- WOWsa!

[Tracy]

Oh wow, I love doggy pics! That plus socks and the sun tipping the edge of a snow covered mountain (insert big sigh here) I'm so easily pleased!

[Lizzy B]

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Margene! I'm so glad I got to see your little darling pups! They are really beautiful and so well behaved too! We have dual treat giving between the pup and one of the cats, and that's always a sight to see. :)

Thank you again for posting the picture! They're adorable! The socks is also quite lovely. I can't wait to see your progress on those Jaywalkin' socks!

I love it "sibling rivalry" - that's how my mother's min. schnauzers were with my dad's sheltie and cairn terrier over the years. Have a great weekend - and keep warm!

I love your dogs! They are just awesome. Glad you finally got the Jaywalker socks back on track- your tolerance is impressive Margene.

[Sara*]

That is SUCH a great mountain photo! I am just so happy that your mountains look so wonderful!

Someday, when I least expect it, I will knit not one but TWO socks. They may not fit me, or anyone I know, but when I finish them I will send them to you with my gratitude for all the wonderful sock-support you share by showing us your process. And then I will smile.

[Marcia]

Oh, those inversions! Have been in Utah during several of them. Not like what we call "inversions" back here at sea level!
As for small socks....boy, I wish my cat sitter had small feet. These size 10's are taking forever. Loved the pups!

[Snow]

The small socks are really beautiful, Margene. And I love the pic of Moxie and Murphy. Have a happy weekend!

[Susan]

Oh, the boys are so cute together! I'm glad they like their biscuits. I was wondering about who made your new Jaywalker sock yarn when you posted about it yesterday, but now I know! Have a wonderful weekend!

[Julia]

It's cute that your dog has my husband's nickname - I'd never realized that before! Give them pets for me.

Cute dogs!

I just got Knitting Vintage Socks and can't wait to start a project from it. Alas, Christmas knitting must come first :o(

[claudia]

Winter always sneaks up on me. Then BANG. There's a foot of snow outside. Enjoy the weekend!

[rebecca]

your knitting (and speed) never ceases to amaze me!
love your puppies! my mom has a solid white mini schnauzer... he's such a cute little bugger

[Birdsong]

I am in love with the dogs, and reminded of my original goal of getting us pooches for Christmas; I think it has to wait. I always love to see what you are working on, and yes, we do have a LOT in common!

[julia fc]

All in a flurry, yes, but I hate the wait in between. But you: you are are faster than a speeding cheetah. Process my butt. You are a production queen!
cute dogs. My grandmother had two Giant Schnauzers. *sigh*
