Let’s talk socks

 Again it’s been so long since I last posted. And again a lot has happened in this past month. I started radiation treatments and I’ve had nine so far, I will need to have 31 altogether. It’s thrown my schedule off a lot because my treatments are in the morning and it takes two hours of driving to and from. By the time I get home I’m tired, so I usually take a nap. There goes half my day. 

So what I have to write about is knitting. I have been doing a lot of knitting. I will share what it is I have been working on. 


right now I just wanna focus on the pair of socks that I started back in the fall. I’ve finished one and now I am working on the toes of the other one. I did my own pattern so I do not have one to share. I did 64 stitches, a 2 x 2 ribbed cuff, And stockinette for the body.


then the toe and heel I got out of this book here, which is very informative. It gives formulas for heels and toes so basically you can either do the patterns they provide or you can mix and match to make up your own pattern. I should have these done by tomorrow 


then I can get on with this pair I started last year.

 I want to start this paired here called the Forest Path. I ordered the yarn and Pattern a month or so ago and I just now received it in the mail. I love getting happy mail.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
