2 crochet blankets one for me one my grandson Camerom. I fell in love with this kit from Annies's crochet for me and decide to make one same pattern but different yarn for Grandson, so this blanket been delayed because it was a monthly kit and just got the final patterns, but they kept delaying as they were having a hard time keeping up with the yarn (note this is the rambling Part of me lol) will I do another monthly club ? unsure its costly to.

other Wips  secret Xmas project for oldest Son, Crochet Impkins,  bees, dragons for Market prep, painting steps and landing finally walls, since youngest son put up dry way in hallway ceiling that had hole in it. now I just need to do that. 

working on garden some water features, fairy houses flowers (here the Ideals popping in with the rambling) well here a few Wips  beside working 12-hour shift , oh and these count as WIPS, working on yourself , organizing something or finding time on what you would  like to do, even it is finding 5 minute to drink a cup of coffee and taking a deep breath is a wip , so what's yours? have a great Night

Love an peace all

Greetings All! 
yes  its been a minute since the first  of the year that I posted, with the start up  with work and readjusted again to  night shift after being two weeks off an the sub zero weather with the wind chill ... its been work ,sleep an staying warm..  so  let  me  say  I  sorry  for  neglecting this  Blog or  my  Ramblings....

well where to  start..  yes I  have the forums up and will be putting detail stuff there.. on a fun note .Got  my  inflatable kayak in the mail  so that adventure with Scruffy  will be  starting in  the  warmer  weather   come spring and summer ,Can't  wait ,I might get a tent  so  me an her can camp out  like I used to do with the Kids.. and of  course fishing as well...

ok  what project  do you want seen  here ,I  should  ask?  let  me  know an don't  forget  the challenge  I would like to try some of the things you made.. as for  my projects this  month..
I have  gotten me some looms for sox, round looms and adjustable rectangle one  and find they are   fun  but  crocheting   slipper sox  like what I made for  My friend Toni.. was  faster an  I think they turned out pretty good.and they fit her was the main thing...

 Cuffs up

 Cuffs  folded down

Cuffs side by side this way you can see same sox different way worn..I used a basic toe up pattern this is sized for a woman's size 7-8 shoe

I will  be posting the pattern to the forums if any one wants to give it a try...its a basic toe up crochet pattern that I tweak after reading many an did it with my preferences so it was fast easy..

all right all take care till next time
