Did I ever tell you?
about my sock that I started a while back?
i don't even remember when i started them but i unfortunately have not been working on them. that's alot of needles to deal with! lol. i have started working on them again tonight but i don't think socks will be a big obsession of mine. maybe i'll try out the circular needles method and see if i like that method.
how much have i gotten done? well the pattern is from the toe up so i did get the toe part done, now i'm working on the foot part and i'm BARELY far on that. i've gone maybe about 1-2 inches on that part *blushes*
i'm a bad sock knitter! waaaaaaaaah, oh well.........not everybody is cut out for it right? oh don't get me wrong, i'll finish this sock. let's just hope i do the second one, lol!

Hello!
Hi, just wanted to pop in and say that!
I've been working on my dishcloth for my dishcloth exchange for one of the groups that I'm in. Other than that, i been working or busy with the kids and chores.
I got to buy the years 1 to 5 set of Harry Potter books so I have started reading those. I'm on the 1st book but I love it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to read and I got a past due fine at my library that i've been too stubborn to pay (stupid me) so i have been missing reading. I do plan to go to the library and pay for my dumminess so that I can get movies and more books. I mostly read romance novels but I am interested in reading mystery but have yet to read one. lol. My mom did tell me about the Janet Evanovich (sp?) books and I am interested in reading those cuz she said it's a mixture of romance, humor and mystery and all that so it sounds like it'd be interesting to read.
I cannot wait to get a new memory card, it's driving me nuts that i can't take pictures of my works in progress and of my kids! I'm hoping I can get it within the next couple months but since we're going to be moving soon, I have to be stingy with my money (what the heck am i working for then? lol) My sp don't have to worry though, I'll make sure that i put enough aside for her to get spoiled :)
well that's about it for me right now. Talk to yall soon! :)
p.s. I forgot to mention.........if you're a mom who's interested in talking with other knitters and crocheting moms, check out my link on the sidebar. it's an msn group that's fairly new but it's slowly growing so check it out if you're interested!
