Progress

 

 

Finally Finished

The "Taffy" socks are finally finished. I do not know what the problem has been with them. They still do not fit as nicely as others I have made. They seem about 1/4 of an inch too long. That might not sound like much but in a shoe it can make a difference. I never figured out what the problem was as I used my standard sock recipe: Yarn Harlot's Basic Sock Recipe. So these will not get worn as much as some of my others but they will be there if I need them.

Frozen

The girls called today and asked if I would like to go with them to see Disney's Frozen which just came out today. I had just heard a great review about the movie this morning so off we went. This has to be one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. I highly recommend it. I took a picture of the girls in front of the movie poster. When I looked at it Jo seemed to be giving it a rating of 5. Go see it. It is worth the price.

More Fun

Today was another fun day. We went to Grapevine Mills Mall and Bass Pro Shop. I had promised the girls we would ride the little train at the mall.

We had a lot of fun.

 

 

We headed over to Bass Pro and the girls rode the Reindeer Merry-Go-Round.

 

 

Great Fun.

 

Dolls and Trees

Jo is out of school for Thanksgiving so we made the trip to the American Girl Doll store. Whew it is like doll overload in that store. But we had a great time and also went on over to The Galleria to see the giant Christmas tree in the ice rink. Fun day even if it was very cold outside.

 

 

Sadly this picture was blurry but it shows how tall the tree is.

 

 

A fun day and the trip was made before the craziness of the holiday shopping.

Granny Squares

The granny squares are coming along. The weather is very bad here and expected to get worse so I should have plenty of time to work on them this weekend. These are bordered in white and will be bordered again in the blue. I am using join-as-you-go method so as I crochet the blue they will be joined to the middle portion of the blankie.

On the left is one square trimmed in blue that is ready to be added to the main part of the blankie.

 

I still have several rows of double crochet on the center part of the blankie before these squares can be added. I am basing this blankie off one I found on Pinterest but am also deciding on how big it will be on the amount of yarn I have. No buying yarn for this one. I am using the stash.

Thanksgiving Lunch

Today was Thanksgiving lunch at Jo's school. She invited me to come and enjoy it along with Allison and Scout. It was great fun and the meal was actually quite good. Thanks Jo it was fun.
