knit along little dogie: it's a knitalong round up kick it! Two other knitters have drilled and starting making boots! Katie has finished one fabulous green boot. I love it! And Whit crocheted hers! You gotta see it. In the meantime, Jae reports that she managed to convice her husband to drill holes in perfectly good shoes and Rebecca is practicing her dpn skills on some socks. I've still got one boot left to finish. Maybe listening to Whit's interview with Tina Marrin can inspire me to get started again. Or I could watch the Knitty Gritty show again for about the thousandth time. "Are you ready boots? Start knitting!" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - sockapaltwoza Lots of finished make-up socks to report: Alison sent off socks to Sara! Three Alisons and an Ariel saving the sockapalooza - awesome! Thanks so much, ladies. Isn't it great when we all knit and make up? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - another weasley And the finished weasleys just keep on coming.... Whit made a beautiful "F" weasley for her daughter. (I think if I had mine to do over again, I'd do an F too! I've got a little thing for Fred now.) There are new knitalongers too: Anne's Gryffindor socks are way cool and Jenny is working a Hogwarts unity blanket. What a neat project! Long live the weasley-along! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - yarn aboard The radio box I sent in Amanda's sock yarn swap has visited two others so far: Emily, who received the gifts I packed in the box, and Rachel, who received gifts from Emily. This is so much fun to watch! Go radio box, go. posted by alison at 8:11 am | in

I know what you mean about Fred--and I love the twins too. Who wouldn't love being a Weasley anyway? except for Fred, he has a hard time with all his overachieving family members. The warren would be good fun....you could hang out with mom and knit, help the twins test jokes, tell dad stories about muggle inventions..... Posted by: suzanne at March 4, 2006 8:21 AMDo you know any Freds?? Because if you did that would be freaking awesome. Make a Fred weasley!! Posted by: Sarah at March 4, 2006 9:04 AMThose shoes are SO fun. You ARE going to wear yours, aren't you? :) Posted by: Kim at March 4, 2006 12:49 PMoh oh, i have a report - i dyed my yarn (couldn't find the perfect pink, so i did it myself)and it is now dry. my shoes are taped off, and drilling should be today! i'm so nervous! Posted by: rebecca at March 5, 2006 12:11 PMI have recieved my angle socks and they are beautiful. Thank you Tara. :) Posted by: TraciSue at March 5, 2006 8:22 PMOK, I'm getting caught up in this shoe thingie - refresh my memory about where you got the details?! Posted by: birdsong at March 5, 2006 11:10 PMyou know Alison I had a crazy idea...knit the boot with berocco suade or any other kind of suade, wouldn't that be knit. I wanted boot this winter...and ive even seen knitted style boots in the store windows. Posted by: Orli at March 6, 2006 1:23 PM |
