A sock, it's a sock, a sock it is, it truely is!

My dd is adicted to Dr. Seuss lately, I swear I'm going batty.

The first sock of many I'm knitting for Christmas gifts (shhhhh!) Anyone who loves fiber arts, check me out at Ravelry.
Sockotta yarn color 6655, Yarn Harlot basic recipe, broken rib stitch (alternate K2, P2 with Knit all around for the 2 rows) The recipient's foot is smaller than mine, so this will fit perfect.

Summer update

Lots has been going on; I quit my part time job to stay home for the summer, gone on a few trips with the fam, been knitting and sewing some sweet baby items, garden is in the ground and SUCKING for growth (need to start fertilizing to see if that will help), started selling Scentsy (I'm a total scent hoar), and I'm loving my blessed life. Here's a few pics to showcase the last few months:
Dh and a friend fixing the poker shelter during a camping trip to Bruneau Sand Dunes (yes, that is a dog bone folks, and duct tape)

A rhody in my mom's yard, in Washington. I wish we could grow them like that here.

One of my pathetic midget tomatoes, when it went in the ground the end of May. It's bigger now, but not much.

South Falls at Silver Falls Park in Oregon. We did a small hike under and around.

Newport Bridge, Newport Oregon
I hope to keep my blog updated more often, now that I'm not "working" per sey. Can't believe we're at the tail end of our summer break, and that kids will be back in school soon.
