Still getting well

Spent 3 hours at Urgent Care yesterday to take care of the sinus infection that took over from my head cold virus of last week. My doctor was a neighbor I hadn't met yet. Very nice guy. I love doctors who take the time to explain their treatment reasoning.
The shot I got and the sinus medicine kept me up all night. I would have thought I'd have finished more with all the hours I spent knitting. I guess I just picked things that are slow going. I finished a Dream Swatch and have done a fair amount on one of my son's flame socks. Finally. I was afraid to start the intarsia part of the sock. I am pretty happy with it, but have decided I need to do a little color work on the flames. The orange and red are varigated yarns. I am not as happy as I thought I'd be when I picked them out, at least for this project. I think I am going to try to hand paint the edges of the orange and red parts of the flame just for accent. I still have a way to go before I am ready for that step.My Noro Aurora Dream Swatch
Here are my Noro Rainbow Peasant socks. Just one more heel to go...

Weekend Projects

I started and finished the knitted part of a present for my niece. This is a holder for Pokemon cards. I am going to duplicate stitch Picachu on it and sew on a button.
Here's the KnitPicks Bare superwash. Two different yellows from the same dye. These were fun to wind. With all the rinsing they got pretty tangled.
Here's the 1/2 lb Louet Gems I dyed bright yellow. I did get it wound.

Granny Square Socks are FOs

Finished Objects!!!!

Here are my finished Granny Square Socks!
I have been working on a new Dream Swatch too. Pretty isn't it. I loved this yarn but couldn't justifying getting enough to make a sweater with. This is a perfect project to show off the yarn.
With the other one I found it was too wide to use as a headwrap so I ripped it back and started a new one with three repeats instead of four. I am using the three repeats for this one too.
Same problem with this picture. I'll try again later.

Great Day off!

Went with my daughter and the drama class from school to see the play, 'Seussical the Musical.' It was great! I loved the color scheme and set design. Pictures were off limits so I have none. I loved the play though.
After school my son and his friend went down to the coffee shop at the closest shopping center to school and played guitar and keyboard until we all got too cold to go on.
Took hubby to dinner for Sadie Hawkins day.
I think we all had a good time today.
I even worked a little on the newest Dream Swatch. It rolls a bit. I hope it will block. The yarn seems too soft to want to firm up in a certain shape though. I will try.

Missed Knitting Night

Took a nap when I got home. Killer headache. Just sat around afterwards and started a new Dream Swatch. I've found that the pattern for Dream Swatch is too wid when knitted with a ribbon yarn and size 6 needles. I tore out the first one and started it over with 3 pattern repeats instead of 4. My new Harmony needles broke. What is with me and circular needles lately. I really am no rough on my needles.
