I went away for a weekend after finishing a pair of socks for my brother and started a pair of socks for my sweetie. When I came back to work, I have never been so busy - until today. There is all sorts of budget crisis drama in our government agency, I started classes, and for the past week it has been sooooooo cold (global warming seems to have taken a short vacation).<br />I cant seem to find the pictures of the socks I made for my brother's birthday. It almost seems that I never made them - lol - as I never received any acknowledgement that he received them. Hmmmmmm...<br />So, here are some snap shots of my latest project. I have started knitting log cabin squares to destash my bin of blue yarn. I am really pleasantly suprised at how nice they all look together<br /><br /> Here is the square....<br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5028465874200222482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MG13GdaYWjc/RcizEhTg2xI/AAAAAAAAAD0/T7IAP2YPtys/s320/IMG_3372.JPG" border="0" /></p><br />And here it is posing with the infamous bucket of blue yarn...<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5028465878495189794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MG13GdaYWjc/RcizExTg2yI/AAAAAAAAAD8/9Brp8UW_yh4/s320/IMG_3375.JPG" border="0" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36363802-8413423090723777795?l=mswendyknitwhit.blogspot.com'/></div>MsKnitWhithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12043025472513150041noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363802.post-56489320562297209412007-01-02T08:51:00.000-06:002008-12-09T17:39:40.184-06:00<div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#663300;"><strong>Here are my current works in progress.</strong></span> </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MG13GdaYWjc/RZpySOmp5TI/AAAAAAAAAC8/K5ysWL-bqQE/s1600-h/paulsocks.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015446792513905970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MG13GdaYWjc/RZpySOmp5TI/AAAAAAAAAC8/K5ysWL-bqQE/s320/paulsocks.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center"></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Socks I made for my friend Paul that happen to match the new rug I bought for my kitchen.</strong></span></p><p align="center"><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MG13GdaYWjc/RZpySemp5UI/AAAAAAAAADE/_tdFV-J5S-g/s1600-h/mikeblanket.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015446796808873282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MG13GdaYWjc/RZpySemp5UI/AAAAAAAAADE/_tdFV-J5S-g/s320/mikeblanket.JPG" border="0" /></a> </p><p align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">An afghan I started for my honey.
