Ready!

 Finished and ready to go for our anniversary!

coming along

Knitting along on DH's sock.  I need to check how many rows for the foot.  This ball of yarn feels light so I hope I have enough.

Anniversary socks

Cast on a pair of anniverary socks for DH last Friday.  Our anniversary is in February so I better get cracking.  DH received this yarn in his stocking for Christmas and he really loves the purple.  Opal yarn, usual sock recipe.

Socks!

I finished DH's Anniversary socks!  He is very pleased with them and is impressed by how they match.  I did not do this on purpose-it is totally the yarn!  Yarn was Supergarne Aktiv Sock yarn 4-ply superwash 100g/459yd Bergen #377-78. 

Anniversary

I'm knitting a pair of socks for DH.  Our 20th anniversary is coming up.  I'm trying to knit these without him noticing so my son started calling them Illicit socks!

Anniversary Socks

Finally finished DH's anniversary socks.  It took forever to knit these!  I started a new shawl immediately after I stitched up the second toe.
I'll post a pic of that after I get a little farther on it.

Happy Anniversary!

 Last night I finally finished the Timeout Socks for DH in time for our seventh anniversary!  I'm glad they are finished because I am really tired of knitting (and reknitting) them.  I also tucked Rolos inside because he loves those.

Valentine Airplanes

Rockets!

And these are the Valentine's for the boyos.  The airplanes come from a Country Living printable.








And how about these rockets? Aren't they adorable?  Inside each rocket is a roll of Rolos. I had to hunt high and low for those.  I gave these out at work today and Red gave them to the Cub Scouts last night.

The day improves!

So this morning the tire goes kaplooey on my car. DH follows me over to the tire shop, deals with the new tire business, and then I ask him to take me to the Upstairs Studio to pick up some knitting needles. This is the Real Emergency as I have a doctor's appointment this arvo and I left my knitting at home. I pick up the last set of size one brittany's (they come in sets of six now, how handy!) and mention that I want to look at the sock yarn.

Clarice shows us the yarn and (love this) shows us what is on sale. I was looking at some brown yarn as I am wearing a lot of brown lately and need some new socks. DH grabs some grey and asks if I will make matching socks for him and the boys! Isn't that adorable? Then he grabs another skein so I can make a pair for me as well. I wander off to look at a spinning wheel and we end up with this:
The grey is for the whole family, the bright blue and pink is for matching socks for the boys and me and the brown is just for me! He asked if this was a good anniversary present (coming up on the 14th!) and I said yes (heck yes!). I asked if all this knitting was his anniversary present from me and he said yes!

Do I have the best DH or what?
