 Yeah, I really did a number on it.  Sideswiped a guard post...and I can't even begin to explain how I did it except to say that I was not thinking about what I was doing.  Nuff said.

 Ann Shayne and Kay Gardiner of Mason Dixon Knitting fame!  They were funny and very entertaining.  And I got to see lots of fabulous knitting.

 OK, I've been working on these socks since September 3rd.  That's the first time I cast on.  Got through the first pattern repeat, misread the directions, messed up big time and ripped them out and started over.  Now I have the next Socks That Rock sock club installment in and HAVE to finish these before I can start on the new ones.  That's my rule for myself.  By the way, this is the Blue Moon Fibers Sock Club.

 Now I am finished with the seaming and hood on my Central Park Hoodie and have picked up the stitches for the left side button band.  This is a flat veiw of the hood.

 I don't know what I was doing, but I would have taken more pictures except these pictures looked fine when I took them.  Oh, well I will make sure to take more (and hopefully better) pictures when it is all finished.

 That's all I got for now.  Hope I won't be as long catching up next time.  I'm on fall break this week so the sweater and socks should be finished before I go back to school next Monday.

I totally love that sweater! I picked up knitting while I was having my chemo and radiation treatments but am not nearly good enough to actually make anything!
