Knitter's Day Out/Simon

This weekend is the Knitter's Day Out Weekend. Two of my knitting friends and I are leaving tomorrow to go Friday night this year. Friday night classes have been added this year and I have one called Sock Party. I signed up for that a long time ago during my time of socks but have not completed a single pair this summer . I am interested the baby socks by Wendy Johnson in the recent Creative Knitting Magazine .

Sat I have a lace knitting class and then all afternoon to check the market out. Not sure if that is good or bad with trying to use up stash and cruise coming up soon. We are staying at my sister's and having one big party( think wine) so should be another great knitting adventure.



The Plymouth Baby blanket I made with the Oh My really is ugly now. I washed it tonight as it is machine washable in delicate cycle. A huge run is all the way down the blanket...so frustrating with all the time and money. I am not sure why this happened? It should go in garbage but will go in cat bed to make it softer just because I hate to waste all that money.



The slow Bee Mystery shawl has been pulled out to start again.Damn next time - leave some notes to myself about what the markers mean and where exactly I left off . I spent a few hours on Ravlery and reading past clues to get this straight. I am too tired to even start it but will try when I get back. I have to find the mental stamina to get back in the swing of it.



Sad news- one of the black pug puppies I bred died this week. The poor owner, Nicole is feeling so awful telling me tha the was th ebest dog she ever had and how she misses him so much. His name was Simon and he was was only 7 . Buddy was in ths same litter.She sent me pictures of him and he looks Magoo.

Thanks Sue for the pattern . The small size will be made because they only had one ball of this .

so here is what I found at the Knitting Addiction Store
This Plymouth Yarn called Jelly Bean planned to be used for a Baby Surprise Jacket
3 piece Baby set using Blue Sky Organic Yarn
this is to make a blanket ..The yarn is very soft and washable for babies so that is why it was chosen but hate this stuff!!! It is limp and has no bounce to it .I don't know what gives on why this blanket looks very tacky like with gaps and obvious places where new yarn is picked up. I am embarrassed to give it as a shower gift. Maybe it is me?
and what is this hidden inside the yarn ball? Every time I hit one of these it annoys me thinking It is deceiving thinking there is more yarn than provided. #%^! Ugly blanket ends up costing over 60$!
