All gone.....

My grand daughter had just finished up her snack when her momma snapped this one!

I hate when I make mistakes.... I cast on the ruffle for Knitty.com's Monica . Because I changed the pattern to "in the round" instead of "flat" knitting, I wasn't paying attention to the number of sts for casting on the ruffle, and I only cast on half the correct number of sts. Of course I didn't realize this till I'd knit two inches of the two and a half inches needed for the ruffle. So, of course froggy came to visit and now I've got the ruffle ready to add on to the rest of the shirt. Will do that today with pics soon.

It was down right cold here yesterday. I started the day out with shorts and a t-shirt and ended up with sweats when I had to take the bus to pick up my grand daughter. There was a nasty rumor of 32 degree temps last night, but I think it only got down to 40. The weather has been so weird this spring. Of course, I'm not complaining about the cold: 1) It'll be HOT soon enough, and 2) I get to wear my socks!!!!

For those of you that have made the Fiber Trends Clogs, what yarn(s) have you found to work the best. F bought the pattern for me (us), and it'll become a project soon. If it's as easy as everyone says it is, I'm thinking they'll make good Christmas presents for my family. That means about a dozen pair I'll have to make....
