Holy Cow It's Cold!

Not sure what the temps were yesterday morning when I woke up but I checked the weather around 9am and it was showing a balmy -37F outside. Brrrrr-Freakin-rrrrrrr. And of course in true Luvs2knit nature, I had to go out in the cold to go to a doctors appointment. Another RA checkup so I really couldn't cancel it since we're trying to get meds adjusted. Meds went up again but at least this time I have 60 days before I go back. I've been going in every 30 days. Unfortunately I still need to visit the lab vampires. I think I'll wait till later this week though since it's suppose to warm back up to more normal temps.


I have been doing a little knitting besides the stuff I can't show you.


I finished my YOSS Jan Socks.

The pattern is Saint Brigid's Stockings (ravelry). The yarn is Dream in Color Classy. I was a bit worried that I wasn't going to have enough yarn but I still had plenty to spare when I finished. 


I started a pair of toe up socks for Bree.

I'm using some of the leftover yarn from my Rainbows & Clouds socks. I'm not very far into the socks but they never take very long to knit since her feet are so small. Basic toe up sock with a short row heel....nothing fancy.


Finally I'm making good progress on my toe up Opal socks.

I'm about an inch from starting the heel. These are my take along knitting project. Not thought involved, no pattern to bring with me, just a basic stockinette sock that I've knit so many time the pattern is permanent etched in my mind.


I'll end this post with a couple of pics of Penelope.

The first one is of her "helping me" take pictures. She was curious about what I was doing and shoved her nose right up infront of the camera. The second one is of her laying on the floor all pretty trying to get some of the pineapple that I was eating. Our dogs love pineapple and will beg for it every chance they get. 


Happy Crafting!

  3. You are really smart to knit two socks at the same time. That's something I've never tried....one of these days....
    Stay warm!!

  6. It's cold here in Massachusetts, too. And, we have so. much. snow. on the ground. I've been keeping snug in my house with my books and my knitting :-)
    I love your Saint Brigid's stockings. The cablework is fabulous, and the purple shows it off nicely.
    I love knitting socks from the toe up best. Do you always knit your socks two at a time? I haven't tried that yet. Did you learn how to do it from a book or a website?
    Hope your RA meds get all worked out soon, and you're feeling well.
