In summary.....

First of all, see our "new to us" refrigerator. It has been used, but not much. It even smelled like a new refrigerator!!!! It's deeper and wider than the old one, has more door storage and amazingly keeps the food cold! We are happy.

That's a lotta socks! Can you say obsessive/compulsive? Joansie, remember when I said, "I want a basket of socks!"? I think I have one!

Didn't work much on the grey sock for my son. I really want him to try them on before I go much further. They look so huge to me, I want to make sure they fit.

Did work some on the Log Cabin blanket. It's really growing. For some reason the brain dead garter stitch knitting is really good for me.

Oh and I CO a dishcloth using a pattern from 365 Knitting Patterns calendar - Little Fountain.

Here's a list of free patterns I found that looked like fun!
