Ok so its ONLY 82 degrees today but its also humid as all get out, yes…even with the wind blowing hard enough to create a wind advisory. I finally caved a little bit ago and closed up the house and turned on the A/C, The house is starting to cool down so maybe…just maybe…I’ll be able to knit a sock and not start swimming in my own sweat! The house, as old as it is, doesnt have any insulation so once it heats up for the summer it stays HOT in here. Alot of times the ambient temp in the house is about 10 degrees warmer than outside so its easy to see why we have cats laying flat out on the concrete in the bathroom and on the chest freezer etc…I’m also sure I heard the 11 yr old cranky lady asking for a bath the otherday too 🙂 Never fear all 4 of them are gonna get a bath if I have to do it all by my self…I’m scared tho they have all them sharp pointy things and fangs! It ought to be interesting esp if I can get someone to take pics of them in and out of the water HEHEHEHE.
On to pics…I dont have any of the socks in progress yet and the test knit isnt far enough along to get a good pic. I can tell ya that the Patons Stretch Sock seems to be the same as Knit Picks Risata in feel and Knitability of the fibers. It has the great stretch of Risata and workability also. The colors are pretty good too! Check out the Knit-n-Stitch for the color selections that will be available soon (its available just out of stock due to all the pre orders) Also as soon as they become available I will have Lion Brand and Red Heart sock yarn there and I may have a surprise sock yarn later in the year. I also have a working relationship with Lornas Laces and while I dont have the Yarn up yet (is coming have no fear) I can get it for special orders so just contact me via the e-mail on my site and I will be more than happy to see what I can get for ya.
I dont know if I have mentioned this before or not, but we have been trying to gain custody of my son from the EX who as our Lawyer(mine and Brian’s) says pulled a sneaky and used the law to his advantage whether it shoulda happened or not. We have him on several contempt charges just lack the money to file tho as soon as we can we will be cuz we can also use those charges to help with our custody suit when it starts. Right now we dont really have a substancial case just alot of aggrivating issues, the EX is stopping just shy of actually giving us a reason to take him to court right then. I know there are lawyers who would take the case charge us an arm and a leg and then not be able to win custody becuase there isnt anything that is cause enough to change custody. So we are gonna stay with the lawyer we have and keep building the case against him and let him hang himself 🙂 Josey isnt happy about it but there isnt much we can do now except hope he crosses the line and the swoop in and have Josey here on a permanent full time basis. The only worry there is that he will do something stupid and Josey will end up hurt in some way so we are hoping and praying that the course he chooses is harmless and just stupid.
In other news….Have you seen the yarn that Ray has up  this time? He did a couple of single color fades that are beautiful!! The Blue #5 fade has already been taken as has the yellow #7 one (the yellow one is mine!) but the rest of them are really pretty too. My mom ordered the yellow one for me, but I have to make her a pair of socks out of it so we spent some time this am Looking through the sock patterns on Ravelry and she chose the pattern she wants and I saved it to my computer. Its a lacy Leaf pattern that will be really pretty in the yellow 🙂 I like this even if I have to make the item for my mom, I still get the joy of knitting the object for her and the joy of having a finished object to show off too 🙂 I guess that makes me a Process/Product knitter instead of just one or the other HEHE.
Thats all for now, I’m gonna buzz my cousin and let her know that I’m back online and available to chat for a bit and start back to work on Joseys second sock so I can get it done before the weekend gets here…hopefully 🙂 Will see y’all tomorrow and onward to knitting I go.
