Beach Day

The kids and I decided to go to the beach today. It was exteremly hot and very windy. I had planned on lots of knitting time but the kids said the water was cold and sand was blowing in my face. I still managed a few rounds on my current sock.

As you can see the beach was very busy today.

Here is a picture of "Big Red" lighthouse in Holland, MI. This is one of my favorite Michigan lighthouses.

Red, White and Blue socks

look what arrived in the mail today!

More yarn..... I loved the yarn I received from my spring sock hop pal so much that I ordered some more online. It is called Sunshine Yarns and I ordered them from Loopy Ewe. I can't wait to knit them up.

My current project

Recently one of the local yarn shops in the area had a going out of business sale. It was sad to see them leave but on the last day they had 70% off everything in the store. I saw this purple and yellow yarn left with three other less desirable skeins of sock yarn. I couldn't resist at 70% off so I bought them all. I still have not decided if I like these colors together or not. More ugly socks to come.

My first entry

Since I have joined 3 sock swaps I felt out of the loop without a blog. Today I received a wonderful package from my spring sock hop swap pal. Laura from Alabama sent me the greatest package filled with a sock book, beautiful yarn, a mini sock blocker and a jaywalker sock. This was my first swap and it was so much fun I joined two others.
