Because 80's and humid is perfect wool sock weather

It took almost two years to knit this one lonesome sock. Needle issues were one reason. Once I changed needles there was less strain on my hands and fingers. Small needles hurt after such little time that I usually do not knit with them but the yarn is called Zombie BBQ. I couldn't resist. Though the pooling around the ankle I could totally do without. Plus an hour at music lessons help. I need something to do and I am trying to work through a huge pile of WIPS.

My little boy

Said clear as day "I love you too" back at me. Thank god Hubby heard too. He's growing up too fast!!!

Gasp!! It's a swatch

I'm not a big believer of swatches. They always seem to lie but this is an Elizabeth Zimmerman swatch hat. So I am technically swatching but I am getting something out of it. Yes it may lie but I'll have a hat.

May the 4th be with you

Origami Vader by my oldest

My favorite part

Hand sewing the quilt binding on.

The bear(s)

Here are all if them. So worse off then others.

The Blue-ish one is D's.  It's almost 11 years old!  K's is the worse. It was made from a really thick terry cloth that her two year self picked and picked at to the point that most of the bear has been de-terry-ed.  A's is the pink fleece one.

Here's Mj's.  I used a nice thick fleece. Grey was the only none girl one the store had. I used felt for the eyes unlike the other bears which have button eyes. Mj is a dare devil and destroyer of things  I wasn't gonna risk buttons with him.

The least blurry action shot.

This grey blob

Will be a bear. Many years ago (at least 16) I worked next to a mom and pop fabric store. I bought this adorable fabric bear fabric. It has all the pieces on it that you cut out and sew together. I didn't like the fabric it was printed on so I put it away. Fast forward to when my oldest was about to turn one I found it again and thought to myself why not use it as a pattern on something nicer. Each of them got a bear made by momma on their first birthday. Well all except MJ. His will be a little late. Sorry my little Bud Bud. Hopefully this weekend it will be done.
