I was knitting some hand warmers for my stepmom’s birthday. But when my boys saw them they LOVED them! So, now I’m going to need to knit another pair for J1 (J2 claimed these) and one for my stepmom….or maybe something else.

Also, I finished the back of the baby dress for Baby Suarez:

It was hard to photograph because of rolling – but when I seam it up – it should look very nice! Baby is due mid-Dec – I’d better get busy!

Details can be found at Ravelry

So, here’s an update in the photography department!

First, here is my September Socks…starting to turn the heel! I work two at a time…but I’m a chicken…when I start the heel flaps I move to two needles and work them independently…only moving both back to one needle when the heels are completely done!

Update on my Boxers – yes, it’s just a blob of yarn….structure comes later!

Beginnings of some secret Christmas knitting:

That boy!  He loved those socks so much he wore them all day long…even though it was 104 outside!!  And, today he insisted on wearing them again because it’s picture day! LOL  I started to protest because (1) he wore them all day yesterday and (2) pictures are of your FACE – not your feet.  And then I remember you are only in first grade once…let it go Momma….let it go!  (sigh)

So, this is the only picture he and his socks would hold still for!
