I've been able to start knitting again. A few weeks ago I started having pain in my wrist so I took a break. Now I just let myself knit for short periods.
Today I finshed my October socks. Opal yarn using a vanilla pattern.
Last week I was able to finish a scarf that will be sent to my exchange partner from Knit and Chat.
Later today I will start back on my September socks. Not sure when I finish them but I do think they are the reason I hurt my wrist. I am using Knit Picks Essential on size 1 dpns and I think the weight of the yarn on such small needles were a bit tough for my wrist.
I do have yarn to make a hat and scarf with larger needles so I may switch back and forth between them and the socks to help my wrist out. At the first twinge of discomfort I do stop knitting and take a few days rest. Now willing to risk the use of my hands just to knit.

Bobbled Lattice Sox
I finished my August Sock of the Month awhile ago. I just forgot to come in here and show them. They are knit from Opal yarn that I got as part of the Opalchatters Sock of the Month in 2001. I did knit one sock then. I guess I lost it. So I knit this pair with a smaller cuff. I didn't want to run out of yarn.

Bamboo Walking Socks
My July Sock of the Month. The Varigated yarn is Sol Joy. I used this yarn in my Mad Cow socks. The Solid yarn is Panda Wool in Vine Green. the pattern was easy enough. They do look very nice. I will probably wear them soon.
Boyfriend Socks
My June Sock of the Month. Still haven't given them to my husband. I am so slow.The yarn is Debbie Bliss Cashmerino. The yarn is nice except with black yarn it was very easy to split the stitches. I hate working with black yarn.
My May Sock of the Month
I know I'm slow is getting pictures posted. The yarn and pattern are from PTyarns SOTM. First sock knit in April 2001. Second sock knit in May 2007. Haven't worn them yet. Wanted to take a picture first.
Teacosy
I have a few more Teacosy's that I need to take a picture of. My friend Sandi sent thes to be for St. Patricks Day. It is rather cute.

Partea Time
Hats are always popular when having tea. The Restaurant supplies hats. My daughters picked this one for me.
Partea Time
I would love to have a place like this to have all my tea sitting out for all to see. It would also be great to have my china sitting out. Maybe I would use it more often.
Partea Time
Of course we thought the deserts were great.
We each had a different tea. Our idea was to try some of each others tea. We didn't. Silly us.

Partea Time
Fiona and I had the tea sandwiches and deserts. Due to food allergies my sister and Heather had chicken sandwiches. They were good also. Everything was good. Of course there were things I liked better then others. It is just fun to have small sandwiches with such pretty dishes and good company.
Partea Time
Scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam to start. To bad I didn't take a picture before we started to eat. LOL

Partea Time
I know it has been a long time since I've posted but we've been busy. We did go on vacation. One of our days we went to the town of Folsom. They have a tea shop there. We had a very nice time there. I will post pictures of our cups and food.
