Anyway~~~ I only brought a few projects with me to work on. My Simply Striped Shrug. This is my progress so far. :)
My socks, which I started for our twelve year old son (I wanted to knit socks for all of them). He said he doesn't want them. :( So, I asked my husband if he wanted them. He said yes. (I don't know why he wants them, when he doesn't even wear the ones I already knitted him!...) I was going to make them for the 17 year old, but I have another pair in mind for him. I already have the pattern & yarn to make him the Earl Grey Socks. So, here is sock #1 of pair #2 for my husband....
I also worked on some more magic ball hotpads. I finished one other one besides this (which I gave to my stepmom). I took a picture of it, but my camera ATE all my pictures!!! I am so mad about that. I had 65 really cool pictures of the whole trip. It has done that to me once before. I want to smash it. Anyway, the other one was more black and white and blue... It was pretty cool. This is the second one I did...
This is the back. Here is the front:
Kinda crooked. I also did a couple more ballband dishcloths:
The brown-ish one is for my sister. Don't know about the blue one yet. I have a pile of dishcloths going. I was going to donate them somewhere but haven't decided yet...
Another idiot dishcloth.
Another idiot dishcloth.
When I was in Michigan, I got to visit lots of family. Two of my Aunts (well, three-- I saw one of my other Aunts at Target while I was there-- she works there :P). My one Aunt; I used to live with for a while, til I graduated from high school.... She had a lot of these dishcloths, she buys at craft shows. She was showing them to me. I said 'Oh yeah, I make those a lot'. She also had these really cool crocheted scrubbies. She gave me one (I should take a picture of it). I wanted to try and copy it; but don't know if I will ever get around to doing that... It's made out of some kind of mesh stuff. Mine is purple. I think she had a yellow or green one, too. I got to see my nephew. :) He's going to be walking any day now. He's only about ten months old, too. Our oldest walked at ten and a half months old. (My sister--my nephew's mama-walked at nine months!) So he might be an early walker, too. Well that is enough for today, I think. As much as I don't like living here, it does feel good to be *home*!

Hi!
Glad your Dad is better... I had to laugh at that " It's Agianst The law " remark...:-)
I love that 4th picture you have on. Is that the Hot Pad? What is the pattern for that?

Hi Susan. That was pretty funny; I laughed, too. He was so serious when he said it, and kind of like, quiet, so no one could hear him... He's a character. :P
The hotpad I found at crochetpatterncentraldotcom, it is the Mielke's Farm: http://www.mielkesfarm.com/diagonl_hotpad.htm But the link has not worked for me forever. (Maybe it is just my computer?) It's the Double Thick Diagonally Crocheted Potholder.
Thanks for stopping by. :)
Hi Tina, I hope your dad will recover soon...I'm sure when his mind is clearer he will fully appreciate you being there for him on such a difficult time.
So glad to know you also had time to visit relatives, what a fruitful trip you had...but sorry about the lost pics :(
...those hotpads/potholders are cute, I like the diagonal stripes as well; your SS Shrug is coming along fine :)
Thanks Mimi. I was mostly stressed out the whole trip. (Story of my life, I guess...) But it was nice to see family.
