On the Needles - 3/22

And Happy Birthday to me!! :)

This week, I am in Florida with my parents. I brought the pups and my granma and we have been relaxing all week. My neighbor Timmy is having a Stay-cation at my place and making sure nothing happens on the home front. I hear stories of some outrageous parties, but I know he is just sitting on the couch and watching TV. lol

There are 6 dogs in the house - my three reds and my parents have 1 black and 2 white and black doxies.

They are not cooperating on the picture front.

But they are all being very conducive to my knitting!

I have finished a washcloth.

I finished the purple socks and sewed the ends in as well. The yarn is Stroll by Knit Picks.

And I started a pair of socks using a chart and cables so that I can practice for the Infinity Cardigan.

The yarn is Madelinetosh sock and the color is Hickory. I love how the yarn is knitting! I did forget to wind the balls so I had to wind my own. I started these on Tuesday night! The pattern is Zora by Regina Satta.

And here is Daphne who can't be bothered to get her picture with the other dogs.
