Colors are a funny thing.

When it comes to my favorite color I tend to like the autumn colors. The olives, Merlot and chestnut tones. I do not care for bright, neon colors. I think I overdid those colors in the 80's.When it comes to Hogwarts house colors (Ravenclaw) I prefer the movie colors over the book colors.I am working on some socks at the moment with yarn called peacock colorway. And in line is the tea rose colorway. These were intended for the beret pattern, but I was having a time with it so I opt for them to become socks and will get some more and try the beret again later. So after all this I guess I like everything except very bright, bold is the way to go.

The Birthday Girl

My beautiful Daughter celebrated her 8th birthday yesterday. Having a party with some friends and family was fun.

But not as exciting as getting her ears pierced.
I think her checks hurt by time she she went to bed, the smile was everlasting. What a brave soul, I think she was quite proud of herself as well. Not one tear was shed.

A Date with Snoopy

No knitting news at the moment, but....

Snoopy was having a flower party at our county fair. This party was two days before the fair opened. The tables of different wines, chocolate fountain with fruit, sushi and other goody tables were fun to travel about with gifted wine glass. The flowers were beautiful and I had a good time with my parents and brother, Snoopy too!

Fotrgotten Photo

Here is the photo of all my other goodies in the box. Forgot to add it to my post yesterday.

International and National packages today

What a great day for fun mail. My girls got some goodies from my Auntie Nelly from Australia.

I got my special Hogwarts package from my pal Shelby! Thank you heaps and heaps!!!

It was so much fun opening in the car and going trough the wrapped packages.

My Hufflepuff socks fit me quite well, don't you think?

The goodies that I got...the extra yarn in which my socks were made will turn into some mini socks for my fundraiser and then I will see how much is left for something else. there was some blackberry sage soap. Crystal palace size one DPS needles and Hufflepuff stitch markers. Then my Hogs Head colorway yarn that Shelby dyed. Of course chocolate truffles to keep the dementors away. In my case it lured a couple little girls. hehehe

I was quite spoiled with this first ever swap. Thank you so much again Shelby. And congratulations on the family news, may many blessing be many among you and yours.

My Hogwarts Questions Answered

1. What Howarts House have I been sorted into? After take the three different test and being sorted in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw I opt for Ravenclaw this time around.

2. What are my foot measurements? Just measured and length is 9 1/2" long and wide part of foot is 8 3/4"

3. My three favorite sock yarns. I like SockPixie yarn, Lorna Laces, and Koigu sock yarns.

4. Yarn I haven'tused but would like to try. The three above are about the only ones I have tried thus far in my sock knitting adventures. So I am open for anything new.

5. Type of patterns I like. I can do toe up and cuff down, so a pattern maybe with no more than 5-6 row for the main pattern. I am fairly new to this sock making bussiness. LOL I have a total of 5 finished socks and about three on needles now.

6. Varigated or solid? I like varigated, although I would like to try to soild colors and work on patternizing.
