monkeys!!???

I am probably the last hold out but tonite I cast on for the cookie a. monkey sox & they really are fun & easy...altho I am doing toe up & completely forgot there is no pattern on the bottom of the foot because that is where you walk...rip it rip it...just to the end of my increases.....the sock is really big tho...I'm doing 64 st on size 1 addi's & wow....I'm used to the 0's but hey, maybe the yarn will shrink a bit...I'm using a pretty colorway of cherry tree hill.
I finished by twisted flower xmas stocking so yeah, I was able to find another ball of the encore...deb at the good yarn found it for me...she is such a sweetie pie. there again, forgetting that nobody needs a pattern on the bottom of the foot but when I realized it I was already down to the toe so this xmas stocking has it all over the place....it's ok since it'll only be hanging...

and yes kim, I still need to figure out this camera...joe must have hidden some intricate piece somewhere & for the life of me I can't find it.....even tho there is hardly anything left in my house!!! oh well, things happen for a reason I guess!!!!

sandie, I am very proud of you for your spinning!!! kim here, is a whiz at spinning so you 2 should hook up!!!! LOL!!!

what I've been up to

let's see...I took off from work on wednesday & went up to Flagstaff for the free King Arthur flour baking demo...it was really nice....we got free flour, yeast, gift cards & dough scrapers...also stopped at the new Purl in the Pines yarn shop which was just lovely. she had all kinds of new & interesting stuff.
since then I've been trying to find another stinkin hank of encore to finish my cookie a. xmas stocking...maggs, my pal who moved away to san diego (the big ol poop!) sent me some that she had but it was too light...thanks for tryin, maggs, you are still ok by me, don't care WHAT everybody says about you.
still no camera so still no pics & that really stinks. I need some teeny tiny usb thingee to download once I take pics & I have no idea where joe put it....he must've had one...or at least 1 of those lil card thingees that you stick in the pc...no clue...well at least I know what my stuff looks like. too bad for the rest of you!!!! hee hee!!!! ok, just kiddin...I feel for ya, honest I do.....
I joined 3 swaps on ravelry & actually mailed my pgs out today...ahead of time....& I'm the coordinator on 1 of them, can you believe it?? me??? I have a feeling I left something out of 1 of the pgs tho.....is that embarrassing or what...& not a little something but a BIG something....if any of my swappers are reading this, please forgive me.....my alzheimers is really kickin my butt these days...
was sick over the weekend but I can't even talk about that anymore w/out thinkin about it & dry heaving so go in peace & try not to worry about me....I'll live....
