Fantastico

By ScoutJ | Posted in Kids, Sockapaloooza, Yarn Pr0n |

I’m so digging this Welt Fantastic pattern.

Jessie I love the yarn even more as I go along. I just got some birthday money so as soon as you dye some more I want it. M’kay? Oh yeah, and I do think the name Scout’s Demise is perfect.

And guess who got yet more love today? Moi! Look what just arrived in the mail.

Chris sent me some *summery Scout yarn* and dang if it’s not enough to make some sort of a garment. I guess I had better start checking out some patterns. It’s this cotton twist #8462. Thank you so much Chris. Really. I can’t to meet you this fall. We’re going to have such a blast.

One final picture of the day. I watched Carole’s kiddos today while she worked. For those of you who don’t know, her son was born 5 hours after mine. Yes. That would be hours. We met online at a parenting website 7 years ago and the rest was history. See, you can find true love online. Anyhow, her son lost his first top tooth about 2 weeks ago and this morning showed up with the other one gone too. He and my boy are total, toothless wonders and look even more like twins than ever. It’s so funny to look at them. I laugh every time they flashed their teeth. Or lack thereof?

Heeeee. Oh, for anyone who likes IMAX movies we saw the Coral Reef one this morning and it’s very cool. My favorite quote was this:

We do not inherit the earth from our parents….we borrow it from our children.

    Great sock! Where can I find the pattern?

    Love the 2nd picture of the yarn. Actually, I love the houses, moutains and blue sky.
    I’m from Las Cruces and have lived in the Houston, TX area for almost 28 years. I go home
    several times a year to a) dry out and b) eat layered green enchiladas with egg over easy!
