FO knee socks

The knee socks are done! In retrospect I would have added another 15 rounds of ribbing to the top. Other than that I love them. If it is not to hot I will wear them to EPWM. The color is really wonderful. The colorway is Brombeere. (Wollmeise 100% superwash merino) This yarn comes with a put up of 575 yards. I have a little bit left over. Do you like my pj's? they say Bite it Sideways. I love Happy Bunny.

After finishing the socks I cast on this shawl. I must be nuts. It is knit top down starting with 5 sts. The whole top part is stockinette so I have a while before I get to the charts. I have never knit from lace charts before. This should be fun. Right?

Toph the Destroyer

Toph loves to chew. This was the chair I sat in on our deck to watch the kids play in the park. Toph the Destroyer got to it and here it is now. The one arm is gone and there is no seat left. She did this Thursday evening while I was out. Hubby and the kids were watching a movie downstairs and did not even notice. Hubbys chair looks much the same. Toph killed that one and dragged it out to the yard for more chewing. Oh well better a pair of $7.99 lawn chairs than my couch.

Here is the little shawl I knit up for MIL. The yarn is an angora blend and super soft. The pattern is very simple. You see it here unblocked. I need to clear the guest bed for blocking. I started a wedding gift for Hubby's step sister. The wedding is in 2 weeks I hope I can finish it.

Well that is all for now. Everyone is home today. We may go see a movie if the sun doesn't come out.
