Sunday knitting musings and such...

 

Hello and happy Sunday!

 

 

How are you? Did your week treat you well? Mine was pretty good, busier than usual, but no less good.  Due to high temperatures here- the ice tea made an appearance.  Funny story-my sister is currently in London for the first time and my brother in law ordered ice tea. This ice tea order confused the waiter as  it is not like they had some brewed in back. :)

As you read my sister and brother-in-law are vacationing in London. Being the anglophile that I am, you know I am wicked jealous as well as super happy for them.  Since they are vacationing, I am babysitting my furry nieces (two dogs).  It has been pretty awesome. Now going from a pet-free home to one with two fur babies is fun. They let me knit and everything!

 

 

Despite having the weekend time to knit, I actually haven't made great progress on any one project. Maybe because I had the cast-on party last weekend? Funny how that works. ;)  Since I have nothing to show, above it my sock progress for 2018 so far. 

Thank you for all the truly wonderful responses to my question about how you organize your stash. It was so fun to read.  Now if only I could go into your homes and see your stash...nah, that would not be creepy at all.

As I am house and pet sitting this post will be a wee short.  There are lots of fun things that come with dog sitting (stuff like picking up poop), so I am off do continue on with my Sunday.

Have the best day today. To all the mother's out there happy Mother's Day. Maybe you are like me and have no children, fur babies, but tend to mother everyone...that counts. xo

 

 

XO,

Andi

I look forward to reading your blog each week. Your socks are so beautiful. What pattern are you using for the sock in your second picture?

[Dee]

Oh my gosh! Can't believe your sister is in London for all the pre-wedding hoopla! I'll bet they are having fun!!!

Enjoy the fur babies and yes .... mothering fur babies totally counts!!!

Happy to hear your sister and brother in law are having fun in London! I bet the fur babies are sweet and adorable! Love all those socks Andi!!! Beautiful!!

I bet they are keeping you busy :) How nice of you to watch their animals, so wonderful!

The first sock colorway is so sweet. LOVE the pattern you are using too

I'm so excited for the Royal Wedding. Our little secret.

Love the socks. Always.

Lovely socks! That is nice you are pet sitting and house sitting. It must be nice having the dogs around to keep you company while you are knitting. Hope that you have a great week ahead!

It should be Women's Day, not Mother's Day. All women bring mothering into the world. (And some men, too!)
I would love to pet-sit dogs. I'm not up for full-time ownership, but a dog adventure would be fun.

Love the colourway for the Let it Shine sock, it looks so happy and delightful! And I love this song that you shared, I haven't heard it before, and it's fantastic.

I just love that pink and green yarn! Going to be scrumptious socks!

Sometimes I think dogs get the better end of the deal. They get to eat, nap, and someone else picks up their poo. Isn't that what we all aspire to?

your sisters dogs are so cute and I bet it's quite an experience for you. I hope you're having fun with them. Knitting may have to wait a bit. Maybe next time you will get to take a trip to London or anywhere.
