Making Progress
I am loving this yarn. It slides through the fingers with a silky feel, even tho it's 100% cotton. It luscious.
Working on the increase rows now, won't be long until I can start the back piece, and then on to the lace portions. I really like lace. :)
Oklahoma Strong!
Tornadoes ripped through Moore and surrounding areas yesterday, and the conditions are still favorable for more. My daughter and family are safe, but we know friends who have lost everything. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers.

Picking up and carrying on
It's time to get back to basics. Life should contain more knitting, time with friends and family, and activities. For me, activities include different things: going out to trivia night at the pub with my hubby, trying new restaurants and seeing new places in our still newish area of the country, enjoying a night in watching our favorite TV shows while knitting......
This blog was going gang busters when it started, but withered when Ravelry and Facebook came along. It's going to thrive again. So, Finnigan, begin again!
Here are some of the items off my needles in the last months.

Thumb Gusset rawks
I've always used the afterthought thumb method when making gloves because the gusset looked hard and difficult. That's really no excuse not to try a new pattern though. And therefore I took the plunge. I actually knitted a thumb gusset. The world didn't end, the stars didn't fall, and the thumb gusset worked marvelously!!!
I finished my Storm socks in the Fawkes pattern. So scrumptious!

Color shift
I just noticed that on this computer monitor, the sock I'm displaying a post or two ago looks to be different colors. The second, grayer, stormier, looking sock is the proper color. The first picture all of a sudden looks too green to me.

No SSS for me!
No indeed! I have cast on for my second sock already and have just about finished the ribbing for the cuff. Almost ready to start the lace pattern. :)
