Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

Home at last
Its good to be home. M and I stayed at the craft show most of the time. Not exactly by choice. Some assface parked our truck in. This little White Geo type car was one in a whole line of parked cars illegally parked in front of signs that said "Do not park here!". All of these people that parked there, parked in a whole line of vehicles. Let me just say, I wasn't happy. No yarn store for me, grrrr. If you think I was cranky, M was far worse. And when M is crankier than me, watch out. I had glorious visions of yelling "Towanda" and ramming the car until I could free myself.
Now that you know what I didn't do, what did I do? Knit. The drive down I made one sock and Saturday I finished the pair. 
I also made a tiny little ornament sock for fun. These big socks are for Dad. If you'll notice, the stripes line up perfectly but the colors don't match, this was done on purpose. We all do things like this to mess with my dad, just to see if he'll notice. My gram once made him a blanket with black and red stripes and threw in an odd navy blue stripe. For the curious folks out there, the socks are just a simple toe up construction with a short row heel. Its made with regia jaquard 4 ply. I gave away the ball bands to curious knitters that wanted to knit some, so I cannot tell you the colorway. I also finished the secret gift socks in pale pinkElann Esprit. You'll see them soon. And, I started another pair in sockatta and worked on them until it got too dark on the ride home last night. 
It is nice to be home. Rainy weather and all. To top it all off my mother's day gift was waiting outside for me. A new teak patio set! I had to ask what I did to deserve such a nice set and was informed its an incentive gift. Husbeast is so cute. Its still overcast and rainy outside or you'd have a picture to ooh and ahh over. He does actually deserve a nice thank you for that. I think I'll make him a pair of socks. As soon as the weather clears you'll get to see my gorgeous new teak swing and table set. I'm going back to bed now. (I wish)
