Socks and Gators

We had a great Thanksgiving. MM's homework over the holidays was to eat lots of turkey and she succeeded. But now it's back to work.

I'm teaching a crocheted sock class at Fiber Art on Saturday. I'm terribly excited about this class. You know I love socks, and now I have the chance to share that love of making socks with others. There are 8 people signed up for the class -- a full house!

And then there are submission deadlines coming in early January, so I'm busy thinking of ideas for submissions. Next week (after the 1st session of sock making) I'm going to start swatching and getting my proposals ready. Wish me luck!

On a non-crochet note, my Florida Gators are playing the Alabama Crimson Tide in the SEC championship game on Saturday. In some polls, these teams are #1 and #2 in the nation. So, for me, this game will be the NCAA national championship -- the winner will surely secure a spot in the BCS national championship game. Go Gators!!

Project Status

I'm making headway on my WIP's.

My World Series socks are about 75% complete. I'm still decreasing the gusset on the 2nd sock.

My knitted top in the Gedifra Mayra yarn is 90% finished. I've finished front and back and next to knit are the sleeves. I'll add a crocheted edging around the neck, sleeves and bottom. It has been a fun project and I can't wait to post the picture of the completed project.

I bought 2 hanks of Cascade Pistaza at Fiber Art, Inc. in September. I started a hat that I found in the February 2008 issue of Crochet World. I love to start a new project!

I will be teaching a class at Fiber Art making a Christmas Stocking the next 2 Saturday's. I'm looking forward to working on something for the holidays. I can't believe that Christmas is a few weeks away!
