It's Monday, how about some love?

Happy Monday peeps! I know, I know...it's Monday, what is there to be happy about? How about some finished items?

My swap socks are finished. The pattern is Shur'tugal. A great pattern with enough detail to keep your attention. Now to pick up some goodies  for my swap partner.

My Hedgerow socks came off the needles are well. I mentioned earlier that the pattern was a bit boring, but they served as a nice change from the Shur'tugals. The yarn was a gift from my friend, and once it came in the mail I knew it would be perfect for this pattern. Socks are done!

What's next? Not sure yet, I am really trying hard not to cast on anything new and focus my attention on items that are currently on the needles. This has been difficult considering all the temptations in blog land.

• Helena's projects always seem to find their way on my list. Her Nuvem has me reeling!
• Oh Lori, what are you doing to me with this shawl? So many lovely blues being knit up lately.
• A new blogger to me, Jesse hooked up this wonderful blanket.
• Trying to stop myself from buying their entire stock of yarns. I may or may not have already purchased some. Ok I did! I will share with you soon.
• Check out these fantastic book ends. I have grabby-hands!  
• Thanks to Allison I have a new beverage for the summer (below).

In other news thank you all for you nice comments on my giveaway. Due to the amount of responses, I won't be replying to each comment, just know that I appreciate them! My fingers are crossed for you all. Remember you have till April 5th to enter!

I am outta here to enjoy some back episodes of this show. Do you remember this show? I love seeing Marilyn knitting at her desk. She makes me laugh. Happy yarning everyone.

Oh my goodness that beer looks awesome. Looks like I'll be doing a beer run soon.
And thanks for sharing all those fun links. How do you find them all?

[Bethany]

Oh, pretty, pretty socks!

I loved Marilyn.

[Jesse]

Both pairs of socks are absolutely gorgeous! But I am totally in love with the Shur'tugal pair - the yarn, the pattern, oooooh :)

I haven't watched Northern Exposure in years! Maybe I ought to catch up too.

Happy yarning to you as well, and thanks for linking me!

[Dona]

I love your socks! I might have to copy you and cast-on for a pair of Shur'tugal too!

[Ivana]

I love Northern Exposure. But I became a knitter after seeing it, how great to look back and discover a knitter in it! :)

p.s. Always love your links, many thanks!

Andi, the details in the socks are amazing. Your swap partner will love the Shur'tugal. Have a beer or two on my behalf. BTW, any cookies left? Ok, you don't need to answer. Have a great day friend!

[Pumpkin]

Not only do you have one pair of completed socks, you have two! That is very impressive! Seriously, your swap partner will be in love with the socks, the color is just so unique. Also, your friend obviously has great taste in yarn, the second pair is wonderful!

[Lisa]

Wow. I love both pairs of those socks, they are both so pretty in their own ways. The patterns go so well with the yarns - you chose well :)

Your knitted socks are just so beautiful. I can't imagine being able to knit the lovely socks like you do. They are so amazing! Have a good week! Cathy

[cauchy09]

mmm...amazing socks!

[Kris]

So, cute!!!

[Maryse]

Your two new pairs of socks are so cute! Two FOs in one post! I don't know if that will ever happen to me! Maybe I should have more concurrent projects ;-) I think that Hedgerow would be a pattern I'd enjoy! I like it when it's boring... And they are so pretty! I have my fingers and toes crossed too!

[WS]

The socks have turned out beautifully! Your swap partner is very lucky. Thanks for the link to WWF! Yummmmmm!!!!

[allison]

Such lovely socks! Those Hedgerows look perfect in that yarn. I think it was meant to be. Shandy sounds mighty good right about now. Also, I absolutely love Northern Exposure. I need to rent the fourth season. That show makes me happy from the moment the theme music comes on.

How about finishing your hat for the E Stash Down A to Z? By the way, I love Summer Shandy. I also love Honey Weiss by Leinenkugel. Yum!

[angela]

I don't drink beer but I love all the socks you make!! Beautiful indeed!!!!
Oh, thanks for your visit to that tiny newish blog of mine.
