Lovely Summer Socks!

These are the three pairs of socks that I've completed so far. I love them :)

Up close...

Project Stats:
Pattern: Rippling Dunes Socks (rav)

Source: Knitting Calendar from my neighbor for Christmas 2008

Size: 9 1/2 foot

Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug in Gauguin

Needles: Size 2 DPN's

Modifications: I added 6 stitches because 60 was too tight around the foot.

Love this colorway with these socks..

Those cables are so pretty... But I think I'm done with cabled socks for a while!!

I finished the River Rapids as well. I absolutely love Shibui Knits Sock yarn. It's amazing!

The bottoms are even pretty!



Here are my Mom's Spring Forwards. She has seen a small picture and she is so excited! I will give them to her in October when her and my dad come to DC!

Just playing with the camera a little more..

Summer time Sangria! I have been having Tuesday night dinner with a few friends. And it's every Tuesday, sometimes Wednesday instead. But we meet, eat dinner, talk and just have a good time. It's only ladies allowed! Wendy, myself, my housemates I lived with previously, and a few of their friends from their neighborhood. We have fantastic food, delicious drinks, and great conversations! We are still trying to figure out a name for ourselves.. TNDC (Tuesday Night Dinner Club), Sisterhood of the Traveling Pot, or Circle of Friends. Any Suggestions??

We had Paella with no seafood. We have some seafood allergies in the group, so it better to just live them out. :) I think I will start posting what we have every week! It's always so good!!!

I just started a new pair of socks with Dream in Color Smooshy in the Flamingo Pie colorway. I love them already...

My mom's Socks! They are Spring Forward from Knitty in Colinette Jitterbug in Monet. It was an extremely easy pattern repeat! I have found that I like when socks have a 12-16 row pattern repeat because it seems to go so much faster! I think it's just that I don't put them down until I've finished a whole repeat!

4th of July

I had a party at work for all the residents in the building. By the way, I work in Property Management. We have one of the best views in the city of the National Mall in DC as well as a few other things, you know monuments and stuff. :)

We had our favorite vendors make some delicious fruite tarts.. And let me tell you, they were just as good as the look :) YUM!



Next the fireworks started! I got some really great shots of the fireworks. It was a fantastic display, besides the rain...

The colors are so vibraint and they had some really cool looking fireworks too!

The event brought out about 60-80 people to our rooftop at work. It was so much fun! I am definately glad it was a success, but I am more glad that it's over and I can relax now! I don't have to plan anything else for the summer, at work at least, and I can focus on actual work now!

You will all being seeing lots more pictures now! I love taking pictures with the new camera and can't wait to take more :)

Ohh.. up next.. my first finished pair of Summer of Socks 08 socks... Spring forwards for my mom!! She can't wait to get them!
