thanksgiving update

first off, if you've ever wondered who buys ronco products...well, we do.
the showtime rotisserie actually works quite well. my mom has had it for a few years, and we are always happy with the results....as long as we can wrap up the turkey. those elastics don't work, but two and a half yards of kitchen cotton sure does.


here is my latest sock...from my favorite blue sky cotton. i don't have a pattern for it, but i'm basing it on the many dozens of socks i've made over the past few months, so i think it'll be ok. so far, so good.


i'm also going to start doing image transfers again. while i was at my parents' house in ny i found my daylab jr. from many moons ago (took me 45 seconds to find. they swore they couldn't find it anywhere.) they're these really funky watercolor-looking prints that i used to make back in the day. i suppose i'll scan in the finished product. bought some film today, too.

update on projects

i know, i need to update my progress on the blue sweater and shed's sweater. i have also started another adult sock. now that i actually understand the construction of a sock, this one has been much easier and less intimidating. here is an earlier attempt http://slimeblog.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_slimeblog_archive.html that wound up being pulled out and rewrapped into a nice little ball, wound on my winder thingy.

i was in kentucky last week for work and i'm off to exciting des moines, iowa next week, so i'm going to to update this weekend after thanksgiving.

shosh, where do you buy yarn? i hope you'll take me there! also, what are YOU working on? if you need a hand, i'll be happy to help soon!

beez's baby shower

so beez is decorating the nursery in a classic pooh theme...look at the wall! very impressive...and she did it freehand, too!

i went to her baby shower on saturday and here is the cake! from a bakery, not home made. it was quite sugary.

this pic is funny because he won't be a D if mummy has anything to say about it...
