OK....I kept all of you in suspense long enough.  I AM GOING!!!  I have decided, with much thought and prayer...to ship the plane ride to Oklahoma and just GO!!  I am currently working on packing and sorting through stuff.  I have a wonderful Christian sister who is giving it her all and helping.  She is dusting and book packing, while I sort, and tape and label. 

I am trying not to get too excited yet...but it is creeping in!!  I have watched God work soo many miracles in my life lately...that it would be insane for me not to go.  I have no real friends here...unfortunately the ones I just made are not enough to keep me here.

I figured that everyone else in our divorce got on with their lives....so why can't I????? 

On the knitting side, I am past the middle of the Sheep Shawl I am knitting for Peggy in Maine.  It is really looking nice and it is coming into shape quite well.  I am at the edging, so I am knitting off the stitches on the main shawl...kinda sideways.  Hard to explain, you just have to see it.  I am also working on some mindless knitting on the cuffs I started.  Also called Pulse warmers in Victorian times.  I need to get some yarn to go with a beautiful set of colors so I can do a slip stitch pattern for some socks.

So, Peggy and I threw around ideas for the solid color...light grey, light lavender, black,  or white.  I am thinking of the first two.    She sent me a beautiful photo of some socks her friend did using a slip stitch pattern.

What do you think??  Endless possibilities???  I think so!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also had another idea of buying some colors of the Scottish yarn that is Alice Starmore's line.  I can't remember what it is  called, but I know it isn't cheap.  SO, as small a size it comes in, I thought that this idea would work.  Peggy showed me that she all ready had the same idea and did these gorgeous beauties up! 

I really do get carried away with socks!  I can see them as a giant swatch!!  SOOOO many possibilities...so little time!!!

God Bless all of you.....

 

TTFN..........

Yaaayyy! I hope the move works out wonderful for you!

The socks look incredible!!!  I know, I know, I'm still working on mine.  I've got the cuffs done though!  I just need to jump right in and turn those heels!

I'd go with the light lavender for the solid color.  I'm just finishing up one sweater for 4 yo ds, and I'm starting a sweater for 5 yo dd in lavender next.  Prettiest color I've ever seen!

Sorry to hear about your divorce etc.  Sometimes it seems like all the you know what hits the fan at once.  Hang in there!  It will get better.  Love the soxs and the colours are really nice.  Did you spin the yarn?  I noticed the stitch markers in your knitting and they are cute they look like they are little critters.  LOL.  Take care.
