Day One - Yesterday...

Started to head out to our trip and hubby got a call from work and had to go in for a meeting. It was pretty cool because we got to see his new office and downtown LA. Once we got to San Lois Obisipo we had dinner at the Apple Farm...yummm its one of our favorite restaurants ever! Yarn stores today...whoohoo!

Trip!

Been ironing...doing laundry...ironing...packing...ironing...other chores. Tomorrow...Cambria!

Shopping

Ug, today I have to go shopping. I don't have enough pants for our trip to last 4 days...I would if my tush wasn't so big! Jimmy doesn't have enough pants (that don't have holes in the knees) and by golly he's grown...although we are going to the beach so I guess high waters would be appropriate! :) Oh joy this will be fun, each of us trying on clothes! I think I need new crocs too...what do ya think Jen! And of course I've already thought...instead of pants thats yarn money! ha ha Tomorrow will be laundry, ironing, packing day. I've found lots of yarn shops along the way...boy I got a great hubby!

In the knitting news: I'm working on my tofutsie socks (so much fun untangling yarn as you knit...again thanks Fuji)...I have both toes done on my smore toe up socks....Have about 4-5 sock patterns picked out that I have (yes have) to get sock yarn for this weekend! Want to do the monkey socks, jaywalker, Baudelaire, hmmm can't think of the other one! Hope these aren't to hard! Plus I might get to meet to of my friends from ravelry!

My First Toe-Ups!

Started my first toe-ups! I used the knitty figure 8 cast on, size 1 dpn, and Knitpicks Memories in smores (Jen socks!). The pattern I'm going to kinda follow is Fingering Weight Toe-Up Socks with gusset heel by Wendyknits. I'm also going to do both of them at the same time so they'll both be done a the same time!:)

Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah

Whoohoo, oh yeah, doing the happy dance! My knitpicks order just came, whoohoo. I got the Ann Budd beginning socks book, 0 dpn in Harmony, 32 circ to try magic loop with, candy cane sock pattern, and gloss yarn in burgandy to make the socks! So happy, oh so happy!:)

MMMM...fresh bread baking...

Yummy! Just got done making persimmon bread. Hubby brought home some persimmons the other day from a lady at work. I've never had them before nor even seen them and they're really good. I love fall!

Finally...

Whew...I finally figured out the short row heel. Working on my second tofutsie sock and did the whole heel last night. I found an awesome tutorial that made it click in my head and work in my hands!:) Both sides of my heel look alike on this sock...yeah!

Boy is Ravelry addicting! I'll go on to look at something and then hours later I'm like where has the time gone!:) Plus the taking of all the pictures of your stuff and getting it onto the site takes forever too. I keep finding things to put on! But it is sooooo awesome!

Hubby booked our hotel for next weekend in Cambria, CA. I can't wait. I get to visit my favorite yarn store The Scarlet Skein! Its sweet of him to take me away...it'll be the year anniversary that my best friend for twenty years, Andrea, passed away from a tough battle of cancer. It'll be a very hard weekend....its been a very hard year...so hard to believe its been a year...
