Knitting Dragonflies

I found this pattern on her blog. Wunderkammer This pattern is free and a quick easy into into her world of sea worthy created creatures.  Jessica Polka also has an Etsy shop with more of her patterns. This little guy was so fun to make, I made him in one sitting. I used some stash yarn and instead of white I picked a multicolor. In my bathroom!! Where else?                  Reading the TV listings.   Check her out!!.

After my big de cluttering episode, which is still going on at a much slower pace. I have been working on the front of the house. Painting the window trim, and porch floor, I added some bird houses and a new mat, etc... I have some petty Lizard material that I am going to make drapes out of for the attic windows. Ready to kick back on the front porch and knit awhile. It's done, I really like the colors, when I was working on it, my co workers kept telling me it was the color of sherbet. YUM.

Syd checking out the new sock                 One done One sock done, one sock to go... Pattern is here . Done! Now I feel the need to knit some socks!

It occurred to me that in my attempt to organize and declutter I have become a big list maker. And I'm not getting much knitting done. I am getting lots of things done but not much knitting. Solution!! Add knitting to my lists of things to do. AHA....

I did located the yarn labels, the yarn I am using is Malabrigo , left over from making some felted clogs. The color is Apple Green. I love this yarn, I bought so much of this yarn, (a couple of years ago) and now am trying to find things to knit up the left overs. These are my husbands, before sewing on the soles. These are how they look now! I have mine done, all except sewing on the soles. The pattern is the Fiber Trends felted clog pattern , easy, but a lot of counting. I had trouble finding the soles to put on them, I finally located them at Patternworks . And it is worth buying them and putting them on. After all of the work, you will fall in love with these and use them for a long time. So haven't gotten too far on the crochet socks. I have made so many knitted socks, I am having trouble deciding if I like them. I don't know how to explain, but the whole rhythm is different. I'm having trouble getting into the flow. This is my husbands lovely fo
