neat way to do socks!!!

Inchies are growing--

new pair of socks--
I got almost to the foot part on these and decided they were way too big and
I would not have enough yarn to finish them--
soooo--
I did start over!!!

started Junes Word Play and did order July's and August's!!

bought myself some Viola's--so pretty!!!

and to help me stitch--
I got new glasses--$217.00

went to another mini class at the yarn shop to learn--
Brioche--it would only be great if one needed something really warm--
kinda of a neat stitch really!!

Lil sister is really ill again and in the hospital--
doesn't look good!!!

My lil sister, Barbara died this morning at 5:30am--
unbelievable---
Marty (Marilyn) here put this in my flower barrel for Barb--
