so much to say

I just ordered the sock loom. I know I will use it. Now to set the goal to not purchase anything but yarn in February.I have enough DVDs to exercise with and all I will need is yarn to make socks with. It's exercise, knit, work, sleep, pay bills. That's it for February!! stick to the goal. how, just each day, commit to myself to stay away from getting further in debt.

Getting it done


Last night I learned how to do the short row heel. I have to say, this is my second favorite make. I am making these socks and they are coming out perfect.

Pinwheel Dischloth


Done. and here it is.

This is my first of many to come. I enjoyed doing this pattern. I like the size and the Yarn which was Peaches and Cream. I had two different colors and that is how you can see the different sections. This was made in all one piece and closed with the Kitchener stitch of which I learned from Isela's video on the Pinwheel Pattern. Thank you Isela.

The Dishcloth

It's coming out fine. I love it. I love the variety in doing the short rows. They are fun. Not boring. I have one section done and 5 more to go. Not bad. I really do like this better then the orange yarn. I don't know what it is about it but it smells also. This is a fun piece of work because, it's short.

The Fish


Well, I'm still working on my fish. At least I have one side done. Now I'm picking up on doing my first dishcloth. The Pinwheel one that I love. So far it's pretty cool. I like the variety and that it's not a big project. I like doing things I can understand and get done. If it had not been for the video, I doubt this pattern can be understood on the short row. It is fun though. Looking forward to finishing tomorrow, maybe:) I will exercise on Wednesday, no matter what. Won't let anything get in the way.

Here is the fish. yea, done.
