Show and Tell time...

Here we go again!...this time, and so far 5 1/2 inches of snow...it is beautiful, but you probably have the same amount or more, or are about to get it...will not bore you with more snow pictures.
I have not been idle: knitted this "practice" baby blanket from Dianaknits for a dolly. It went pretty well--once I got going. There is absolutely no sewing per se, but I will have to 'tuck the tails' It's a very soft cone yarn, but becomes furry...it's a 'practice' blanket...remember.


Here we have, yet another mobius. They are so fun to knit...sort of brainless knitting...really like it.


the color is peaches and cream, kind-of.



This pink sweater (for 2c) is hugging my Cat Bordhi sock book. The sweater it on its way to the blocking table...ready soon.



The peacock lace scarf (on its way to the blocking table, also) is for Mrs. #2. I hope she likes it.





And now...drum roll...the socks: applause, applause, applause...thank you...soooo much...you are so kind...Although they may not look like it, they ARE a pair. My friend is the only one who will have these. Cat Bordhi, again. From the above pictured book...and so much fun to make. Thank you Cat.

Very flat, and intrigueing.

Toe, cool!


Heel, snazzy...yep, I did not follow the pattern here...tried this, I like hers better, but oh well.

No open spaces, just like she said.


One more flat view.


I added a little calf increase.


Pic taken with flash. The real-life colors are those in the above pics.




Sorry to have been gone so long. Which brings me to the question: Would you like to see posts more often, with less pictures? Give me your imput.
I'll leave you with this:

Knitting

Hey, girly girls!...here are some pictures of what I've been doing.

I've permitted myself to start this moebius, it is so fun to knit. I use the Cat Bordhi mobius cast on. When I get tired of doing regular knit, I start a row knitting backwards, in continental style, which gives me purl rows. I usually do 3 or 4 rows of each. It goes fast--relatively--and it is good brainless work.
The other day, it was cold--but not as cold as the following days of 5F--so I made me a cup of tea in one of my favourite mugs.



It looked like this outside, which was very inspiring for making bread.


Then, I milled some of THE BEST WHEAT IN THE WHOLE REALM, and made bread.




See, it was cold but not so much.



While the bread was rising and, later, baking I lounged in the living room which was flooded with sunshine...I love that room in the morning. Since I'm a Mom I can multitask...while I knitted I watched some youtubes of knitting, but mostly Bible preaching...love that too.



This is the scarf--in progress, and almost done--for 2a. Sorry I did not take a picture of it blocked. It came out so lovely. This scarf was a 'practice block' for an afghan. I'll show you later. [I'm considering buying pink yarn by the truckload, seriously, EVERYBODY--actually the girls--wants everything pink.] {the guys want blue and/or black--or should I say black-and-blue, which, more readily match their bruises...boys!}


I am happy to announce that I "tried" making a video of the moebius, and I've succeeded...now...how to place it in the blog?????? as soon as I figure it, you'll see it.
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
KEEP CALM & STAY THE COURSE
Persistence, or rather "Extreme point-and-click" and VOILA!



You will see my first--and maybe only--video. It took an hour to upload a 3 and a half minute video. There must be something else I need to know.
Boy-oh-boy, it sounds like I'm breathing in a respirator. I'll have to figure how to hold the camera and not breathe, or something. [hopefully you won't notice so much]
I'll leave you with this:

"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." II Pe 3:3-4
