Happy

As I get older, I'm all about what makes me happy...why not
right? 

 I finished up the first sock.
Knitpicks Stroll yarn from Martha.
I love the colors...soooo happy!

 Did my first ever afterthought heel.
Since I wanted to make sure it fit right, I knit until I thought
I should start decreasing for the toe, and broke the yarn, and
started the heel.
Pattern directions from Year of Techniques book.

I love how it turned out.
I would make this again, with stripey yarn, and yarns
of a different color heel.

Heel instructions from a year of techniques.

They say to get down to last 6 stitches, and  then pull yarn thru
all stitches. That seemed weird to me, so I kitchnered the
last 6.  (3 on each needle).

Looks weird, but a super nice fit on the foot.

I wound some yarn for Mark's giant size 13 foot.
Knitpicks Hawthorne yarn. I love this yarn for Mark because,
it's a heavy fingering, and I can use size 2 needle.  I need 2 skeins,
but still can do a pair for approx $22. And, its really really nice
yarn!

I like the soft brown...makes me happy.

Ruth is making an adorable baby sweater for a new
baby in their family, Jack.
He will be one happy baby wearing this cute sweater !

Pattern is Sweet Baby Sweater by Caroline Wiens. Yarns are from her stash. The blue is WYS Signature and the multi is a ball of Regia.  Sooooooo cute!!!!!

Martha is modeling her sweater. What an intricate pattern, and perfect fit!
She is sooo happy with it.

She started a pair of socks with yarn from  Ruth...it gets darker as
it goes along

Nice happy colors
