So not Iggy anyone here just dealing with life   now I can concentrate on the crochet and crafts I didn't crochet while resting these four weeks nope not till a few days ago.

The Rambling Woman/granny Pat

 Hey all 

This week post is a combined post of last week that I missed. So, an update of sorts, been crazy since last time been on blog,

 We are dealing with what hurricane Debby did. Now I'm up in northern Ohio in Akron and yet the storms that went through goodness was something, lucky few downed branches a few light Flickers but Parma, Brook Park with the tornado skirting through and there's miles of sherd telephone poles and power lines down, my prayers and hopes for those there.  

 On to me, my update I've been pain managing myself and my nerves with hot tub soaks, new pain med from doc seems to be helping with stiffness and pain some and ice packs.  Doc Says, well its surgery in 17 days on my knee, so been busy setting things up as well as working a few days before the surgery so bills paid up till work benefits kick it, wish me luck they are keeping out of work till November 26

  On to what we here to talk about, crafts, yarn, whatever. Let's ramble on

Suggestions? besides WIPS I'm going to take care of, until I'm walking good again on my time away, hmmm what should I make, doubtful anyone will comment, anyone out there? maybe someone might Glance at this blog it would be great (Hint Hint) hmm what to do maybe the start of Xmas presents besides the WIPS, maybe finally when can drive get to library for those crochet groups missed two because of this knee,

Do I crochet, clay, paint rocks. Let's toss the dice and see. mixed mediums why not. Have you ever combined two things together like yarn and clay? Don't forget DIY recycled goods to add into projects. give it a try. hey why not. Hey, toss what you have done in the comments. Or be my first person to join my discussion board why not...

Take care all  

bye for now Rambling Woman

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.

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
