18 Rows down 12 Rows to go

I brought the Sannybug Jaywalkers out of hibernation today to work on for a bit. I started the heel flap and as the title says I have 18 rows done and 12 to go before I start the heel turn. Heres a picture of the sock before I started the flap… I still love the way the colors are pooling around the sock cuff almost exactly how Sanny’s colors pool in real life. The flap is different, the colors arent pooling at all, they seem to be striping instead. I’ll have a pic of the completed heel flap tomorrow and hopefully the cup and part of the gusset as well. For the Sock KAL on Ravelry Junes sock is either a pair with colorwork or UFO’s. Since I dont have a colorwork pattern other than the boot sock pattern immediately available I’m gonna work to finish this pair and and how ever many Fuzzy Feet slipper pairs I have left, hopefully tho those will be done and given to their new feet This pair of socks (Jaywalkers) are planned for Josey so they need to be finished in the next month or so. Summer of Socks 2008 also starts June 21st so I am trying to finish up what I have started and be ready to start with no sock WIPs OTN. I have my yarns and patterns together with only a few more skeins that need wound, I may end up changing a few skeins and patterns around but I have plenty of time between now and then to make sure I have the correct pattern and yarn together

 Remember this sweet little bud? Today it looks like this… Isnt it pretty! The color is called Midnight Blue. It has shades of purple and dark blue in it and there are several more buds coming up on the same stalk and in 2 more. I will get and post more pics of this set of Irises as they bloom! 

Brian and I both have a sweet tooth tho he is by far a much bigger chocoholic than me LOL! He wanted Chocolate Chip Cookies and I wanted Chocolate Cake, since we are short on butter I compomised and made Chocolate Chip Choclate Cake Its yummy! Tonite after VFW I’m gonna have Brian stop at the store and pick up some Cherry pie filling, more Chocolate Chips, Heavy Cream, Redi Whip and some plain chocolate Ice Cream to make us a Black Forest type dessert to go with supper tonight. I’m gonna chop up a couple of pieces of cake and layer them with the cherry pie filling cover that with the ganache ice cream and decorate with the redi whip, doesnt that sound good? The Cake recipe is on the back of the Hersheys Baking Cocoa box it’s called Perfectly Chocolate Cake, just add choco chips if you wish or not. The Ganache is made by heating the Heavy Cream and melting the Chocolate Chips (either semi sweet or milk will work your choice). and you can imagine the rest. I will take pictures of it when done before we eat.

Since we have VFW tonite I’m gonna get the veggie portion of supper goin before we leave so I will see ya tomorrow. Pictures to come of Sannybug heel, BlackForest style Chopped up Dessert and anything else I can think of to show Have a Nice evening and I will see ya tomorrow!
