New Home, New stuff made

Just was thinking I haven't posted again in a while.  I have been busy with moving and then being sick.  Went from allergies, to a cold now. 

I have been trying to not start new projects till others are finished, but I have a few things in progress.  I am 80% done with a shawl in lace weight yarn, and I have done a dress, tiny pants, vest so far for Baby Riley, who is due in January for Donnie and Rikki. 

We had to move, and that was a hassle, the new place costs more and I finally have a/c in Colorado.  Just in time for winter. lol

I am really missing my family, I haven't seen them in so very long.  Travis is a senior and there is alot to do with that too.  My uncle passed away, and I wasn't able to go to the funeral in California.  Apparently life is busy for everyone.

I sold my first pair of sock, and have to get them in the mail to the buyer in Maine.  I have been trying to work on things and resist the temptation of socks, but finally gave in last night and started a new pair for a test knit. 

Also testing a hoodie pattern that I am making for my niece Elena.

Hello everyone.  I know I haven't been posting as much as I used to, been posting on Ravelry alot these days of the items I have finished. 

June in Colorado

More things I have knit.  I participated in Sock Madness and now Tour de Sock on Ravelry.  It is fun, and did some sock tests in between patterns too. The sock I am currently working on for Tour de Sock, is stage 2 and it is colorwork.  I sure hope that I can get these to fit me.  Colorwork usually isn't my friend. lol  but it is a pretty pattern.  An afterthought heel.  YUCK!  But has to be done the way it is supposed to be done.  
Travis, Don and I went to the Zumiez Couch Tour again this year.  Travis actually got to participate in the skate competition.  He didn't get far, but at least he tried.  It has been so hot here in Colorado.  I don't like the heat so early in the year.  
I have to get Travis his senior portraits made soon.  He will be a senior in the fall.  Wow, he has grown up so fast.  
Donnie, my stepson, will be getting married one day and he will have another grandchild for us in January.  I can't wait to find out the sex of the baby so I can start making stuff.  Hope all goes well with this new baby. 

It sure is hot here for May.

Wow, May already.  I can't believe how this year is flying by already.  I am doing Sock Madness on Ravelry again this year and I just finished the Round 4 socks, so I have made it farther than last year.  Also been doing test socks for Free Pattern testers group on Ravelry also.
