pick up knitting...

Ahh, the end of August-and I haven't posted here! I really need to get back into the habit of posting my progress...what little of it there is. ;)

I actually picked up a project I had put on hold last year for Christmas knitting-I've been slowly working on my slouching socks-knitting a few rows here and there. I'm almost ready to start the shaping of the heel on the second sock-hopefully I'll be able to do that this weekend-even though St. Rocco's festival is this weekend-I'll have Monday off-perhaps that'll be the day to just sit back and knit. ;)

Speaking of Christmas knitting-a couple of weeks ago I picked up some yarn for a couple of Christmas projects. Here's one:

My goal? 3 pairs by Christmas. HA! We'll see how far I get. ;)

I also picked up some yarn for a scarf (and possibly hat)for another friend of mine in Minnesota-she really liked the scarves I made for the girls last Christmas, so I'm going to make a similar one for her.

Well, that's all for now-my goal this weekend is to shape the heel on my slouching sock, and get started on my Christmas projects. Knowing me, though-I probably should've started them in June! ;)
