Ravelry YOP Update! Don't get too excited...LOL!

Above is a result of a long and fulfilling Thanksgiving.....no....she's not dead just "full" and we all feel like she looks! LOL!  We definitely "bulked up" for the long Winter ahead!  Ha! Ha!  I just had to share as I rarely catch Orphan Annie like that.....she's so funny!
Anyway....on to the YOP UPDATE! 

No, it is not a second pair of socks...oh, how I wish!  But the yellow yarn got very tired so I grabbed another skein.  I am learning so much....in fact, I actually know that I am knitting the gusset of the sock right now.  I think it looks better too.  This is where I ran into problems the last time I "frogged".  I have the cuff down pat now and even the heel flap.  If I can get this gusset then I only have to master the toe and I will have one whole sock and be able to go on to make many!
Here's my cross stitch project which I'm not sure is legal for Ravelry but it is a project on my list......

Wow!  It's been a long time since I cross stitched but I am getting back in the hang of it.  That plastic waste canvas is a "dickens" to work with though.  I'll be going back to something a little more basic after this project.
I finally wrote up a word document to list my projects for this year and to update and include in each Sunday's post.  These are all my needlework projects of any kind although I don't have a category for spinning yet and I want to learn that too but next year and only if I can knit properly by then! LOL!  So, it's not much but it's what I have for now.  Thanks for tolerating my lack of progress! LOL!

  2. I just ate a double chocolate muffin and I feel about the same way as the puppy does:)

    It's your blog so there are no rules about what you post. And I think it's kinda nice to see some stitching mixed in :)

  3. That dog photo is so cute. I too keep a list, but it's more for reminding me not to start another one until the ones on the list are done - ha ha!

  5. Love the photo of the pup! She looks so relaxed. That's the way to enjoy Thanksgiving.

    Love all your projects. One hint if you do plastic canvas again. It is easier to work with if you tack it to stretcher bars. Just make sure it is stretched evenly and tacked very well.

    Hugs,
    Sharon
