Time to show some knitting

Yesterday was a really bad day. I had an excruiating migraine, so bad that Dale had to give me a shot and was ready to take me to the emergency room. Luckily the shot worked. It knocked me out for about 4 hours and when I woke the pain was mostly gone. I just felt all tired and worn out.

Since I haven't been on here much lately and haven't really posted any knitting I thought that it

just might be time to do so.

Here is the baby afghan that I am knitting to go along with the sweater that I showed quite a while ago. I am going to knit on it tonight and tomorrow night then go back to socks on Saturday while I am embroidering.

Since it is an afghan and it is very warm now she will not need it until this fall so I won't be working on it steadily, just enough so that I don't forget that I need to get it done. I just hope that it is wide enough when I have blocked it. The sweater had no pattern for an afghan so I just winged it. I know, if I had done a swatch with the larger needles that I am using for this I would have known just how many stitches I need to cast on so that it would be ok. I thought I had enough. Let's just hope so.

Here is a pet project of mine. I am making preemie hats to take to our hospital. I want to have 12 to take. As you can see I have 10. They really don't take very long to make and are quite fun. I started this last fall and things just seem to keep getting in the way. I need to finish up two more caps and then take them up. As you can see they are in all sizes. Some of the smaller ones only take a couple of hours or less. Shame on me for not finishing them. I will make it a weekend project to at least get one more done and hopefuly two. I will give an update on Monday. Maybe this will be the incentive I need to get them done.

Here is my first June Sockamania sock. No that is not an optical illusion, the sock really is that long. It is for Auntie and she wears a size 10 1/2 shoe. My sock book said to make the foot 10 inches long, so I did. I thought I was never going to get the foot of the sock done!! and this is only the first sock! OH, my!This was the first time I had done a sock toe up and also a short row heel. I like doing it toe up and the short row heel is ok, but I am not sure I did the wrap correctly.

I used my new Sox Stix from Lantern Moon, they are nice , but I don't really think that they are worth the price.

I just ordered several Knit Picks circulars to do socks with, I even ordered a long one to try doing the magic loop. Wish me luck.

I like to talk about my cats. Munchkin is my biggest cat. When I took him to the vet the other day he weighed 13.25 pounds. Not a small cat. LOL. He is also my box cat. All of the cats love boxes but Munch REALLY loves them. When a new box comes into the house he has to try it out. I received a skein of yarn in a very small box a while ago and I put the empty box in the floor knowing that sooner or later Munch would have to try to get in it. Here are a couple of photos of him trying to be in the box.

This is Erica, as you can see she fits in the box much better than Munch. She is Munch's mama and she doesn't let him and Velcro forget it either. She can be a real crank when she wants to be and a real sweetie if she wants to be.

Maybe tomorrow I will post photos of my other two cats.

That is it for tonight.
