Knit Chat Patty Wack!

Knit Chat Patty Wack...


What an action packed weekend! Saturday was out first Knit Chat Patty Wack meeting. I could not make it to the trip to the yarn store beforehand but was there for the meeting. We started this knitting group to get together once a month and knit and chat and apparently wack patty...


Look at Kari's finished scarf!!! Her first big project finished! She is working on a swatch for a hat that she is making for Brad.




And here is Betsy who is just casting on for a pair of yummy Mittens! I worked on these socks I am just about done with them. I can't wait! I should have them done tonight! I also cast on these socksSorry the picture really sucks. I will get a better picture when I get a little further along. These are toe up socks knit with Mountain Colors Bearfoot. I really wanted to make some toe up socks so I could try a different bind off that Wendy posted on her blog. I even went so far as to weigh and divide the yarn into two skeins.

Super Bowl

Sunday was The Colts vs. The Bears. Nannies really wanted to go over to Karis for the Superbowl party so mama whipped up this colts mane to wear so he could get in the spirit.

We ate lots of food and had a good time. There was never a doubt in our minds that Payton would lead the Colts to Victory!Kari even managed to keep her jersey on the whole game. (she doesn't usually strip during football games (that I'm aware of anyways) she just usually has to take it off because it brings bad luck to the colts)

Shoes

I have been on a quest for months to find clear shoes to wear with my socks. I finally found them last week. I ordered them from here and they arrived this week.

Here they are on my feet being modeled with my lovely carnival jaywalkers. I like them a lot. Although I wonder how big of a dork I am for buying them.
