What the HECK!!!!!!

Well I managed to finish 3 out of the 4 socks and the lucky recipents seemed to enjoy them. My youngest sister also liked her earflap hat. She's a photo-journalist for NBC News in Charlotte and is outside all the time reporting so that came in handy. :0)
As everyone opened their socks, I explained to my brother that he didn't get a pair of socks because I didn't think that he would wear them. (he's such a picky dresser). Well sister was dead wrong. He told me that he would wear them and that he likes earth-tone colors. What the heck!!!! :0( I totally misjudged this because I really didn't think that Jason would wear knitted socks. I feel so bad because everyone else got a pair but him. So I guess that I have to knit my brother a pair. I don't mind though because I seem to finally have gotten the hang of knitting socks. I am by no means great at this, but I am getting better.

2 Down 1 1/2 more to go!!!!!

Here are my two socks that I managed to finish. The one on the left is for my mom and was knitted with one of my favorite yarns...Woully Boully. The one on the left is for my youngest sister who loves pink so I thought that this yarn was perfect for her. If I can say I am really happy with these socks and I think that they look good.

My Christmas gifts from Zonda

I must say that I have the best friend in the world!!!! Look at what my bestest (yes this is a word, at least for today) knitting buddy got me. Zonda made me a kitty bag so that I can ditch my ziploc bags and carry yarn in style!!! Anyone who had bought a needlecase/totecase from Zonda knows how nice these are. I also got a skein of Yarntini. :0) Thank you sooo much Zonda not only for the thoughtful gifts but also for being such a good friend.
PS. Even Priscilla likes the bag. She told me that she is going to fight me for it. She wants it for all of her toys. :0)

SCHOOL'S OUT!!

Oh my gosh, I am on cloud nine. I teach at a year round school and today was the last day. I could not have lasted one more minute. The kids were out of control. But I had the last laugh because we had our party an hour before school was out so I sent them home all sugared up!!! I am sure all the parents love me. HAHAH
So now we are on our 3 week break!!! SO everybody knows what that means. I can now knit all damn night if I please. I do NOT have to set my alarm fro 4:45 for 3 whole weeks. I am knitting like a wild woman so everyone will get there socks. I may make it, but I will be pulling many late nights. :0) I am going to make my mentor Zonda proud of me when we meet again. :0) She will not belive that this is the same person that she had to draw a picture/diagram for.
