I had to make some changes to my Nancy Drew socks, because I didn't have enough yarn. I guess my gauge was off a bit. I ripped back the first foot toe area and re-knit using Koigu.

I can't believe it, I actually won something! I entered a contest over at
A Knitter In Queens blog and I won 3rd prize.
This is the beautiful package I received.
This is what was inside
Twisted Flower Sock Pattern by Cookie A
3 skeins of Koigu in a beautiful Sky Blue
I'm so excited, I can't wait to start on this project. This should motivate me to work on Charade.

I really hate that I have to come up with titles for my post. Why can't I just post?
I'm currently working on the second foot of my Charade socks. I had to rip back the first foot twice because it was too long even though I was following the pattern instructions. It suggest you knit the foot until it measures 2 inches from desire length. Then you start the toe, but the instructions for the toe is almost 3 inches long. So I fixed it by ripping back the toe until it was 3 inches from my desired length, now it fits perfectly.
I'm still struggling with the Lanett Baby sweater.
Look what I got in the mail today!

I just got back from a visit with my daughter in North Carolina. This was my first trip since she's started school. I use to go every summer to Greensville, NC when I was a teenager, with my sister's in-laws. NC is a beautiful State, I love the mountains. I went to Linville Caverns, which was very exciting.
I didn't knit at all on my visit, even though I bought a few items with me. I still working on my Charade socks, the Lanett Baby sweater and the Chevron scarf. I will post pictures as I get done.
I bought a whole lot of yarn recently and I need to post pictures.
