Tax Time is Almost Over

Yippee! I cannot wait and then I will be back to my Friday knitting classes at Kraemer Yarns. Although it's almost over, I did volunteer to work off season. So, I have to work this Thursday and the next two Monday's. I will be off for 8 weeks and may land out working one day a week, but I definately want to teach. That I am looking forward to doing.

Most of all, I am looking forward to relaxing, knitting and reading and spending time with my Maggie May. She how great she looks! I think she has been studying while I have been working. Ways to get even for leaving her alone in her crate while I went off to work. Oh, Oh, I am in big trouble. Maybe I need to take her to pet training classes. That may also be in the cards for my time off.

I was able to finish off a dishcloth from my Monthly dishcloth group. It's called The Meadow by Lindy. I used Peaches and Cream yarn in Gold with size 7 needles. This was a cute cloth to knit up.

Check this yarn out! I got it at Kraemer's on Saturday. It's called Flat Feet yarn. Instead of having the yarn in a ball, you pull on the thread as you knit. First you knit from one end and then the other. The colors are very vibrant. I think I will start on my next sock with this yarn. I can't wait to see how it knits up. They are going to get more in stock.

I also caved in and ordered yarn from the Loopy Ewe. I got three different kinds and love them all.

From left to right: The Sanguine Gryphon Eidos sock yarn in Pythagorus colorway, Bella Moden in colors Black Beauty and Chocolat and Creatively Dyed Yarns in colors Royal Envy and Hot Salsa. The Creatively Dyed Yarn is 80% merino, 10% Cashmire, and 10% Nylon.
I am just hopeless with sock yarn.

I'm curious to how the Flat Feet works. I don't think I quite get it. Maybe you should do a little play by play when you get around to turning it into a pair of socks.
