Oregon Flock & Fiber

Oh goodness gracious!  I loved looking at the goats, sheep, alpaca, llama's, and angora rabbits!  If I could only stick a couple of them in my bag to take home!  I would think that I would drive my neighbors up the wall with them though!  Am still trying to find the best light seafoam dk/light worsted weight yarn for a cartridge stich cowl for my step mother!  In reality I don't think it exists. 

I did buy a $5 beginners spindle and $1 worth of fiber.  I want to see if I can make my own yarn.  I did find fiber with the seafoam in it but it was shades of greens or with other colors with it but it looked nice. 

For the purple people eater socks.  I am almost to the point of making the toe.  Keep your fingers crossed.  I love to make socks but these are just being a pain in my backside!  I have wanted to make other things but I just want to get things done with!

Trip To Alaska

Before I left Alaska for the last two weeks, the purple people eater socks gave me a double whammy.  First the second sock I was working on, screwed the count on the gussett heal area, had to tear out the whole friggin thing and started over.  But then I looked at the first sock and wondered why it looked so big.  I had made it a size that probably could stick two feet into!  Well I decided to cart the yarn and the partially done, right sized, sock all around Alaska.  Guess how much I have done of the whole sock?  5 rows, yup you read right.  Swear this pair of socks is beating me in the ass!
