Almost There!!

I am almost finished with two socks. Not a pair, but two seperate ones. I am to the decreasing part of the foot, so I should be able to have two socks done by Friday!!!! :0) Then I have to start on my dad's socks and then the dreaded yellow ones that are for my dear sister Michele. As some of you recall, the yellow ones, that have the same personality as my sister caused me such grief and headaches that I am not looking foward to working on this pair. I may need to get liquored up before I attempt to work on this one again. :0) I can't wait to work on my dad's pair because I love all the browns that will be in his sock. I did good on that skein. I'll have to post a picture of the skein so that you all can see what I am rambling about.
Finally attempted to wind a skein of yarn into a ball with my new yarn winder. I was so happy to finally have one that I could't wait to try this contraption out. How hard could this be I asked myself. I saw a guy do this at a local yarnstore. HAHAHAAH that didn't work out to well for me. I tried and tried on two different skeins. One skein is in a ball of mess (didn't tell you that did I Zonda), the other one I can not find the pull out middle part. Just add that to my list of Christine's screw ups. With all the screw ups that I have made I can write a cool book that would go on to be a best seller. It would't be me if I didn't have so many funny experiences to share with people. Off to knit some more....

The light bulb is finally on!!!

I got it, I got it, I got it!!!!!! It has finally sunk in and I am off and running with my first pair of socks. I have finally passed the gussett and now I am knitting the foot. I have no idea of why it took me so long to understand how to knit up the gussett. All I know is that I do understand what I am doing now and I am so happy!!!! I may have my family members thier pair of socks by Christmas instead of just their one sock!! :0) i know Zonda is breathing a huge sigh or relief right now and is thinking it's about time that something has finally sank in with me. :0)
