Hold on to sixteen as long as you can...
Changes come around real soon make us women and men
Hey all. THANKS again for your continued wishes and prayers. You all are truly the best. At this point, no news is good news, and that's where we are. More news when we know it. Until then, we'll keep taking all the prayers/thoughts/love we can get!
While you all were in Maryland...
I went to North Carolina, to see my folks and sister. Can I tell you how awesome my family is? They are the best. They went with me to dress shop for my cousin's wedding. My family+shopping=goodtimes, because the mockery level is HIGH. We can make fun of anything.
Also, they rock because they took me to Yarn Paradise, and knew the level of mockery had to be reigned in. AND I got 10 skeins of Debbie Bliss wool cotton for $35.00!!!!!!!!!!! Wowie. And some Koigu. So. Good. Then we watched a movie and made some fun of it. Overall, a FUN two days.
But now.
Now, I have to go to work, tomorrow at SEVEN A.M. OUCH. So this is a briefish post to say:
HOLY CRAP LOOK AT MY SOCKS!!!
The lovely Patti sent me these drop-dead gorgeous socks:
High Energy Dad helped with getting the colors right. He's no FAUX-tographer. He's the real deal.
And these fun seed pots! Fun, since I'm into growing things these days!
Patti, I love these socks so much that I have worn them everyday since I got them. I'm wearing them NOW. I'm going to wear them out! And that's a good thing. The color is so perfect, the fit is perfect, the yarn so soft (Cherry Tree Hill, people!!!). I couldn't be a luckier sockapaloooza pal. Thank you Patti!
Speaking of growing things, here for Cara is one of the new flowers from our new front yard landscaping:
I hope everyone gets their socks out there. I have lots to share on the purple ribbed Vintage Knits sweater (only a sleeve to go! some minor sleeve surgery! 3/4 sewn together!!!). Stay tuned!

I'm still sad that you didn't make it to Maryland, but it sounds like you managed to have fun anyway :). Beautiful socks!
I'm thinking lots of good implanting thoughts for you!!!

Hey! Excellent sockage. Thanks for the flower - it's gorgeous - I'd love to get super close on that one.
I missed you this weekend - but glad you were laughing it up with family!
Thinking of you constantly, especially now that I can't get John Mellencrap out of my head. ;-)

I'm really close with my family too, especially my sister. We just laughed yesterday about her coming with me to a wedding so we could laugh and make fun of people together.

Yay for no news (is good news)!!!! Thinking of you often out here....
Beautimous socks, lady. And flower.
Grow, HEE, grow!

Hooray- now I can comment on your blog without being caught!! First of all, I am SO GLAD the socks fit and look good on you!!!! I really did enjoy knitting them, although I must say I was scared when I read the technical genius figgerin' you did on the knit it shrug, and then the Green Gable. You should be a technical editor for the knit publishing industry!! And now that I know you like them, can you tell I knit backward? (I knit from right needle to left needle.) I think some of my stitches end up differently...
More baby growing prayers for you!!!
