No sock

Okay, Cynthia and I were talking about the socks and she mentioned that it is easier to adjust for unknown amounts of yarn with a toe up sock. I have always knitted them cuff down...but she is right, I really don't know how far my homepsun will go...so I frogged all my work. hehehehe

I also finished my first full bobbin of Merino on the Reeves and moved it over to the Lazy Kate. I then put on a fresh bobbin and started some soft wool blend.

My husband and I ran some errands this weekend. We took my station wagon up to Sam's Club to for gas and decided to do a little shopping. We picked up two oversized camp chairs from Mossy Oak for the back yard.

He also took me to the book store and bought me three interesting new books. I usually grab a bunch of books, sit down in a comfortable chair and eliminate most of them. But yesterday was different. First on deck is the third installment of The Knitting Experience by Sally Melville, Color! I also got the new Nicky Epstein book, Knitting on the Edge: Ribs, Ruffles, Fringes, Flora, Points & Picots. I loved her Embellishments book, so I could not resist this one. Then the last one was Felted Crochet by Jane Davis. I think I own every felting book, but this one had some really cute projects. I need to dye some purple wool for the grapes in the grape pincushion. Of course, then I need to find some time to be able to make it! LOL

The most amazing part of the weekend so far is that I finally got my painted bedroom furniture into the bedroom! Of course, it did not go smoothly, but it is done. I have most of the hardware back on and despite needing so touch up painting, today I should be able to get my clothes out of the bags and baskets and into my dressers. Woo hoo! I also got most of my prints and paintings put up and the walls. It is finally starting to feel like home.
