These are the Hanauma Bay pattern in Cherry Tree Hill colorway Blues/Purples. I hope they fit! Her foot is bigger than mine. I think it will be good. And of course, the CTH was a pleasure to work. And the pattern is easy to remember. Only 4 row repeat, with 3 of them knit! Any, I am glad they are finished.

Next on the list, Mystery Stole 3. Pattern is downloaded and I am ready to go. I made myself finish the Sock Pal socks first. And I will probably start a pair of socks for Hubby. He picked out some yarn at The Loopy Ewe. Actually, he picked out two, so I need to have him pick which one he wants first. So, next time, I should have progress shots of the MS3 and Hubby's socks.

July 12, Big Boy is having hus tonsils out! Apparently, 4 year olds are not supposed to snore. And he was sick alot this past year! They are really bad! I have tried to explain to him what is gonna happen. I just can't figure out how to make a four year old understand! I think he is gonna be really pissed at me! There will be lots of ice cream for a week or so.

Also, there is a new button in the right. Hubby took my business card, and morphed it into a button. Feel free to take it and all that- you know the rules!

Also next time, I should have an exciting new update. My bracelets should be up on a new online store soon! EEEeehhhh!!! And I have another local shop who want to carry them! Whew! This is getting exciting!!!

My Baby Boy

Baby Boy is 3 today!

Wow! And what does a 3 year old want for lunch on his birthday? Of course- all things dip-able! Teddy grahams, graham crackers sticks, grapes and apples- all dipped in cream cheese dip. Yummy! And I asked what kind of cake he wanted, because it is funny to here what he says. He wanted a polka dot cake. OK. So tonight we will have the ice cream cake I made, that has sprinkles in the batter. Polka dots! We had polka dot cupcakes yesterday at the waterpark with the neighbors-

Fun was had by all.

I am a little flustered with my Baby turning 3. He starts preschool in August. Uugh! I worked so hard for these boys! As fun as bedrest may sound to you, try it for 4 or 5 months!! No fun! I miss that "baby" smell. I miss nursing. I still steal a few cuddle moments here and there. But it isn't the same. I would love to have more, but the cards were stacked against me. So, I am trying to look at new good stuff. Like, he can put on his own sandals. He is going in the potty (mostly). He can entertain his self for a couple minutes. He sings (all though not always well). He laughs, a TRUE laugh when he is happy. And there is no doubt that he loves me! No matter what my hair looks like in the morning!

So there it is. My ode to my 3 year old!

PS- Knitting update soon! Sockapalooza socks are almost done! And my bracelets are selling like crazy!

Where?

I have been missing! Yes! I know! I have been so busy. But, I have been knitting!

These are my third pair of Jaywalkers. They are made of Crystal Palace Cotton Panda in the College Prep colorway. Bought at The Loopy Ewe, of course. These are great! I love the Panda Cotton. It is a great non-wool sock yarn. And, I love footie socks!

I have finally started my Sockapalooza socks! So far so good. But I am only a couple of inches into the cuff. I think they are going to work. My sockpals foot is larger that mine. So I am having a hard time deciding if it will be the right size or not.

But, in other news. Has anyone noticed what has been for sale at The Loopy Ewe? No? Yes? Yup! It is Moonlight Knitter row counter bracelets! And I have been super busy keeping them in stock! It feels so good to have Sheri at The Loopy Ewe selling my little product! I hope everyone is liking them! If you have gotten one, I would love to know how you feel about them.

Otherwise, we have just been busy with fun summer stuff. Tee-ball practice, swimming, and planning vacations!

That's it for now. I will be back, sooner this time though!
