Checking In

I toyed with the idea of joining the Charlotte Knitalong but I don't know when I am going to be able to start mine and with my luck everyone would be done before I even got started. So I decided to wait; one of these days the timing will be right to join a Knitalong. Or maybe there is never a good time and you just have to do it...I don't know. All I can seem to concentrate on these days are these never ending socks, my sons (Eric) graduation, and where they are sending him. On Monday I mailed him and his friends about 6 or so dozen chocolate chip cookies and a cranberry bread (his favorite).

I do have exciting news.....I am just about at the toe deceases of the socks! Yes, yes it's true! I bet you are as happy about that as I am so you won't have to hear about these darn socks anymore huh? :) This coming weekend is the last one I have to work on them.... as Eric's graduation from AIT/bootcamp is the following Friday. He still hasn't been told yet where he will be stationed... I bet you can figure out where I am praying he won't be sent.

And in case anyone has been having trouble finding Alysia like I have lately, her URL changed slightly and if you haven't been there yet...well go check it out now and see what you have been missing!

Happy Knitting!

Though The Web looks like a big, intimidating project, it isn't at all. It knits up very quickly. I had to laugh when I read the beginning of your post. Little Purl of the Orient wrote almost the exact same sentence. :) Sending good vibes that Eric is stationed somewhere peaceful.

I've just joined Charlotte and now in eight KALs, but I've done the projects on two of them, so now, I'm actually down to six or so.

I thought Charlotte was a bit about of my skill set, but with help from other bloggers, I understand the pattern and even made a swatch in Wool Ease.

Now, I have all that Koigu to wind.
