I am still lovin the Zune! I cast on a new pair of socks... Neopolitini were making me crazy. I'll get back to them eventually.

Work has picked up this week , which is always good.

Sydney has read 4 chapters of Little House on the Prairie! We are going to do a  Pioneer Unit study after we wrap up the one on Oceans.She is also doing more spelling copywork. That is the one area that concerns me. Her reading is up to par. It is her spelling that she seems to have a problem with. I was always a good speller and loved to read anything I could get my hands on! I hope I can instill that into her :) She has also become very artistic, another quality from my side of the family. She drew me little pictures on post it notes last night and passed them over the top of the laptop lol I love it!

I havent found a lace pattern yet... I guess i'll put the thought aside and just wait .... sometimes iI stumble across things. Maybe i'll stumble across an easy shawl pattern ? lol so, it's still socks for me!

I have a ballwinder and I enjoy the pretty center pull yarn cakes it produces for me! untill.......

it took half an hour to undo!

heres the end result! damn Yarn! ( How I do lov thee, really.)

It is so frustrating but I keep on Knittin' Heehee

HAPPY EASTER or spring break to those who don't celebrate. We were invited as of yesterday at noon to the In-Laws for dinner. I'll take the camera and see what trouble I can get into :) I am on the instep of the sock now.I am just too tired to knit tonight. I'll pack it up and take along tommorrow. Working on Sydney's HS Geography assignments and Unit Study has me busy.Working and homeschooling makes me sleepy LOL

Is it a ball band if its on a Hank?? or a tag??

I have more pictures that I have yet to upload...I'll post them when I am off tommorrow or wednesday.

 I received my Magic Loop booklet today from Knitpicks (took one week to arrive) and DP wip tubes from nancy's Knit Knacks.I also bought some lace weight from Knitpicks. Gossamer in sweet peas colorway (which is actually pinks and purples). I am going to use it for my attempt at Lace knitting. So, I now have oodles! to knit with.But I want MORE!!! lmao

On the Homeschool front: Sydney is studying Oceans right now and learning Division. She does real well but being ADHD she needs to learn to FOCUS more. We are going to the park tommorrow to work on her school. The weather is beautiful and I can actually keep her attention on her work with the promise she will get to play when she finishes!

I'm a little evil lol

Today  I focused mainly on getting Syd's Home school studies organized. Then, we ran out to get a few binders for her Unit Studies. So no knitting to update. I have to finish Great nieces b-day prezzie since she and her Mom will be here from NC next week!!! I am so excited !!! We saw them last July and I am looking forward to another visit.She is a little imp :) then again her mom was too lol.

I did take my wheel outside and gave her a good oiling and dusting. I wanted to make sure her screws weren't loose LMAO unlike her owners ha ha

 I thought I would be finished with Syd's school work  and could spin a little before bed except i'm bushed! My yarn hasn't arrived in the mail yet either or I am sure I would have Knit today.
