So I had a very big weekend--I:
1. Worked all day Saturday and missed the Yarn Lady Bag Sale (best sale of the year!)
2. Set a goal of giving all immediate family members socks this year for either birthday/Christmas.
3. Bought new sock yarn for my dad and mother-in-law to fulfil item 2.
4. Found out the tribe my Grandpa's Grandma came from--Abenaki--and saw her picture for the first time (I cried).
5. Found out that my best friend has Abenaki ancestory also--of course, she was already a member of my tribe, this just cements it.
6. Talked to a friend of mine, We'll call him Mr. Fitzgibbons, who just came back from the Peace Corps in Suriname. Hi Peter!
7. Heard from my Secret Pal! She sounds cool! I was also assigned a SP so I'm already thinking about some great ideas to suprise her with.
8. Told a few people about my blog!
The main thing that I didn't do:
1. Clean my house for my mother-in-law who arrives at midnight tonight.
I will remedy this by thinking about it ALL day and then coming home and cleaning frantically for about 2 hours before giving up on scrubbing the shower floor and sitting down for some Tivo'ed Law & Order and knitting. I've turned the heel and finished the gusset on my sister's Koigu socks and I'm on the home stretch. Her feet are 10 inches long so I'm in the home stretch, right? Depending on when I give up on cleaning I'll try to post some pictures of my WIPs tonight.

About Me
- VickeryKnits
- I first learned how to knit from my mom who cast on and bound off for me. I promptly forgot about knitting and didn't pick sticks up again until 4 years ago. A good friend had just learned to knit and was taking a trip to the yarn store. Maybe it's because I was born in the year of the sheep but for some reason that yarn store called to me...Imagiknit. My Mecca. I didn't know what to do but I knew I had to have that purple Manos. My friend showed me the basics and I hadn't knit two stitches when the motion felt familiar. Somehow my hands remembered and I was off! I have to say that I haven't looked back since.
