Okay, this is not knitting but it is cool

My baby sister lives in New Jersey and works in New York. She works for Macy's Corporate Offices for one of the buyers. She and I get to email each other alot and she sent me this picture from her seventh floor window.



There were three NASCAR race cars parked on the street. The Home Depot car is the 1st or far left car, then comes Aflack car, and the Bank of America car. She said that they were racing the engines and she could feel the vibrations all the way on her floor. She wanted to run down and drive away in one.

How cool is that?

Knitting Does Actually Take Place

I almost forgot. I finished the Buckeye Socks this past weekend. Here are some pictures.






Sorry for the quality of the last two. I think that too much celebrating with the kids for Turkey Day added to a bit of unsteadiness.....

I wish I could say that they were matching, but you can see that the variegated yarn has a mind of its own. The one on the left was knitted first and then the one on the right. I didn't make them at the same time because I was altering a pattern to suit a man. I hope that my father-in-law isn't too picky and doesn't notice.....

This is totally cool!

I love to read Say What. Emily has some wonderful stuff that she finds. Her post today is no exception. She has found wall art that no knitter should be without.




Imagine having this in your craft room. The website shows you all the colors that are available. All of the LYS's should know about this too! Feel free to spread the word.

Tuesday Temptations

Yes folks, it is Tuesday! Boy do I have stuff for you.

I am going to order these for some special gifts that I want to give to Wifey, Trouble, and Munchkin. I think that I want to order the Acorn, the Santa Hat, and the Frog.

I might need this for the guest bathroom too.

This just cracks me up. I don't know who would be the lucky recipient, but it is sure a hoot.

And this would be a great thing to give college students and just about anyone that needs to open a bottle of beer.

And lest you think that I have not been thinking about Sassy and Eraser, fear not. They would most certainly love to get this or this. And Onyx would love this or this I'm sure.

I am most definitely addicted to sweets, so I think that it is only fitting that I want these, these, these, these, and these for the holidays.

That's enough for this installment. What do you want for Christmas?

Trouble's Birthday

These are a few shots from our birthday dinner with Trouble. What you can't really see is the gift basket contents.

We gave her a basket filled with stemless purple wine glasses, a tea cup with a steamer basket and lid, tea bags (Vanilla Caramel Mocha), Giradelli White Chocolate hot cocoa, bath and body works lotions, sake, jelly bellies, a Victoria's Secret gift card, miniature bottle of wine,and soaps. I'm sure that there was more, but that is all that I can remember at this late hour.

The girl with Trouble is Lauren, one of her friends at college. We had the present opening in her dorm room. Look familiar to anyone?
