Dragonfly

Hurrah I have managed to finish the dragonfly socks that I was doing as part of the KAL and read along on the Outlander forum on Ravelry. Here are a couple of pictures of the socks with edna my darling wheel.
Isn't Edna a gorgeous wheel....


sorry that the pictures look a bit bleary but the D.H. has been using the camera and I don't really know how to put it back to point and shoot...Arghhhh
This has been a very lovely week I managed to get to all three knitting groups and knit and not frog down my work when I got home.
I also managed to say hello and goodbye to a friend in the last week. Gale came back from South Africa for a brief visit and it was so very nice to see here and to catch up on all her news and how she is settling in. Really lovely. The goodbye was not bad as it involved a lovely new mum friend who is back home to America to visit family and friends for a month. They will have a lovely time but it was with a wee sadness that I said goodbye last thursday silly I know but that is how it is.
I have also signed up with twitter this week and I am just getting to grips with this. I see that it seems to encourage those looking for high number of friends to try and pull you in but I am determined not to get drawn in to this. I have found a couple of interesting people to follow and find it fascinating.
I am now a host for Barking Mad http://www.barkingmad.uk.com/hostfamilies.html this is a lovely way to see other dogs and get a bit of wool money for me. In this ecconomic climate I need to find wool funds. Anyway the lovely Bazil is coming to stay on Sunday for a couple of weeks and Red should love that. Will post photo's with Red and Freya next time.
Well it is time to get organised for the weekend of family and friends so must dash hope to be back before long.

Congratulations on becoming a host! The socks are gorgeous, and so soft.
Bet Emily can't wait to get hers!
Enjoy the weekend!
