Projects? Just a Few.......

Let's see now, Dick's upstairs watching the UW/Notre Dame game; our son's in Indiana watching the game in person; our younger daughter is somewhere in India for work; my sister called from JOANN's in Hibbing on the way to their cabin; our older daughter is probably enjoying naptime on Sylvan Lake; and me? I'm sitting here trying to figure out what I've been doing lately.

Well, first there's this project:
Can you guess what this is?
Actually, I'm beyond this stage now, and it would be easy to tell, but I'll let you wonder for a while.

I just couldn't resist this mystery sock on Through the Loops blog and am about up-to-date on BOTH socks. Of course it's only the first week. This pattern would probably look better in a solid color, but I am loving my yarn choice. (Regia Design Line by Kaffe Fassett)
Sock Number One

That's all you say? Well, I've also been trying to put away some of the fabric I bought on our trip. This piece tickled me:

Especially after seeing this recent photo taken somewhere in the Southwest.

Who'd have thought this little critter would have its own fabric line?

Yesterday I did a tiny bit of work on the fourth Christmas BOM and got a "block assignment" from our quilt group. Best get to work! Ciao!

Dear Judy
Your first project is a beautiful color ..
I do not know really what it should be - perhaps a " Bolero "?
The Kaffe Fassett yarn, that looks good .. and the pattern looks enormous!
The Geko fabric is so nice - I like these little runners happy :-)
have a nice sunday.

I LOVE your socks so far. I think it will work great in that color.

Hmmmmmmmmm...a baby sweater for that first project pic?

The red looks like sleeves to a baby sweater, but why would you knit the sleeves separately? Hmm, the mystery continues.

Your sock yarn is yummy. It reminds me of candy.

I guess maybe socks, but I'm truly clueless. I need to learn to knit. DH wants to go places and at least I can take knitting with me.

You're right that fabric is cute - what will you do with it (other than admire it). Looked at your daughter's blog - fascinating! Thanks for sharing that - I love "seeing" other parts of the world - especially from one person's perspective - even if it's virtually.

Hi Judy,
Thanks for visiting. The retreat was WONDERFUL and a much needed break. LOL.

I love your new banner - what a darling little guy you've captured there.

I read through your trip post - wow - how fun. You were actually quite close to us at one point.

I've been to most of the places you listed and they are just beautiful. I don't think I've ever been to the Watchtower.

Great photos and I'm so glad you had so much fun. Nice to see you again. Take care.
