Independence day was lovely My mom made enough food to feed the US Navy (there where only me, my my my step dad and my friend Luthienpotter.) After we ate Luthien and I went to the mall to watch the fireworks and walk around a bit. I promised her i would read watch (without stalling or being difficult) anything she wanted me to if she would at least read the first Twilight book (I need someone to squee with and I don't really want to go alone to the release party) So since my mom and stepfather are reading my copy we went and bought her a copy. We grabbed a fantastic seat for the fireworks and spent the evening knitting and sewing while listening to music. I'm almost done with the cuff to the second sock, I think i have a case of SSS. But I will be good and finish it! I will! Then it's back to lace work. OK I should be getting ready to go to work, rather then waiting to see if I'll get into the Twilight Swap and wondering what will happen tonight on Doctor Who.

Knitting in the Twilight, but not really
hello everyone, To be honest I haven't knit anything in the the last few days, I know I know, for shame! I've been trying to clean my room... ya not much success in that department either... and well I've gotten rapped up in a new book series Twilight. I'm loving the books so far I just finished the second one last night and I'll start the third one today. The forth book comes out at the beginning of August and there will be release parties for it. Hee I'm excited, I plan to go in Costume. I thought about going as Bella just because it would be fun to be pretty, but I really think I'd rather go as my (so far) favorite character Dr. Carlisile Cullen. although he's blond so I'll have to get a wig For me costuming has always been more about getting to be my favorite characters then being the one I look like. (with the exception of Frodo because his costumes was the easiest to make from Goodwill clothes) But anyway, I'm going to go and put pictures back on my walls , then I'll let myself read and knit some more.
Hugs!

Ok I'm on a roll! I've just finished sock one, now on to sock two! I think this is the first time I'm feeling second sock syndrom as I'm not running to cast number two on. 
These had a lot of dye when i blocked them and it changed the lovely cream color to a gray. They are still veru pretty though and my desire to be able to wear them will make me finsh number two quickly. I think I'll cast on (again) for the Branching out scarf an thne maybe the market bag. Just to give sock a bit of a rest. 
Of course I may just do all of them and a another set of socks. I have the ball of yarn Ruthanne gave me from England. It's Hummingbird yarn in the color way called Kingfisher.
The I have some Regia and Opal sock yarn I just bought. So much yarn so little time. Anyway once again I'm offering crapy pictures from my web camera. I wish I had a real digital camera.
It's so my list of things to buy. Anlong with a dress Form, and new computer, I can't wait till I have a better job!

Alright sorry about the long time between posts, not that anyone reads this blog, but you never know. The new carpet is in and my room is slowly getting back to normal.
I've since started on yet another pair of socks and I love them so far. I've also bought more sock yarn (I can't be stopped!) I've just got to finish decreasing on the toe and then sew the ends....and then start on the next one. And of course me being me I'll try and make them match :) Sorry about the bad pictures. I sware that one day I'll get a real camera

Finished
Finished just as Turkey scored in overtime. I'll wear them on Saturday for Worldwide Knit in Public Day along with my new FFF shirt.

Meh I'm sorry it's been so long between posts, not that anyone reads this but I'm still sorry. I've since ripped the lace because I decided I'd prefer it in a sold color rather then the multicolored i was using and if I'm going to make it I want it to be right the first time. I still love the pattern though I'll probably bring it with me to Knit in Public day. I've almost finish3d with my first pair of socks just five more inches to go on the foot and blocking. The I'll start on my Severus Socks. Squee!
I'm getting new carpet very soon so I'll have to unplug the computer. I took the opportunity to paint the walls in my bedroom and clean the room out, now I just need the carpet in to complete it and things can get back to normal.
Oh and the Euro 2008 Started this Weekend so I have to say: Allez les bleus Allez!
