HOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 It's been hot here in Western NY...yikes..the house is boiling.
Thank goodness for the pool.

I have started the sleeve increases on the

Shakerag sweater.  I had to tink back about 1"...
I was afraid it would be too long.  Tinking takes
so much longer than knitting!

 Working on ribbing for sock for mom.

Yarn is Fresh from the Cauldron.

I started with Addi Flexiflips needles. I thought I would like

them since I make socks on two circs. But I did not like them at

all. They need to be about 2" longer in my opinion.

So I switched back to two circs.

Look how the yarn is pooling...sigh.

I figured out that if I slip two stitches out of eight, every four
rows or so, it helps.

But still kinda weird, huh.

I think I'll manipulate the stitches on the needles to make a nicer
front and back. 

Ruth finished up her Baby Sneakers by Keri Williams.

Aren't they totally adorable!

Martha is working on her shawl...
Reminder she is making hers one color.
