well, it's raining after being freezing cold for months! can you believe it? It's freezing cold then it warms up and we have to have gloomy rainy days now? I am knitting a pair of gaunlets for my daughter in black and it's the first fingerless I've done. We'll see how that turns out!

My fiancee and I took our girls snowboarding this weekend. They had a great time. It was very cold ....around 5 degrees and the wind chilled us to the bone. I took my knitting but my hands were too cold to knit. Met another knitting lady there who was knitting a wash cloth.
I finished some socks for my daughter made with Kroy. She loves them!

I've been knitting socks that rock on two circular needles with Peaseblossom colorway. They are going pretty slow as I am also knitting a shrug for my dil2b for her birthday. I have other socks on needles also ....kroy, 1776, toasty toes, mountain colors...etc. I find great yarn on ebay and some great prices too!
Well, suddenly it changed from summer to winter. It's overcast, rainy and dropped 20 degrees almost overnight. We're supposed to get 6 inches of snow in the mountains.
We bought a new dog....a poodle. She's 13 weeks old now (12 when we got her) and sooooo cute! She's a miniature just like our other poodle, Muffy. My Fiancee named her Sandy since she's blonde. We're trying to potty train her and that's an adventure!
Will try to keep this blog updated as I've slacked off for a while. Summer is rather busy around our house. If we're not fixing things we're camping or boating. It's been a fun summer tho. A little hot but still fun. More to come.

I finished a pair of Opal Ladybug for a gal at work. Opal is okay to work with but the colors aren't as fascinating as the hand painted ones.

I tried to upload my pictures of my socks and they were there! Then all of a sudden they were gone! I will try to post them on my other blog......http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog/

I've learned how to spin now so I'm spinning like crazy. I have 2 wheels but the Ashford traveler is my favorite. I haven't used any of the yarn yet for socks. I've got at least 4 socks on the needles. I've taken a class for magic loop so that is next for socks. I am currently knitting one sock on one circular and nearly finished with that. The only drawback is that I need another loop so I can knit both of them at the same time. I still like my double points!!!
