Seduction on Vacation
The 3rd project I finished by the poolside (listening to a waterfall). My first pair of knitted socks, Seduction by Ann Budd. I made them to go with my pink Harley Davidson high tops. They are exactly what I pictured! It was so cool to finish all those projects at once. Unfortunately now all the projects I'm working on are a long way from being finished.
I am always torn though. I love the process and the product.

Revisiting Vacation.....sigh!
As previously stated we went on a mini vacation at Greg's timeshare in Scottsdale. This vacation I got more done than ever before. Yesterday's post "Carolyn's Wedding Afghan" (put the finishing touches on that) and today's post my earrings.
This month's crochet and knit publications have been fantastic: Vogue Knitting, Interweave Crochet, Creative Knitting and Crochet Today, just fabulous. I made 3 pairs of earrings based on or exactly the Fiesta Earrings pattern out of Crochet Today. The first pair (no picture yet) were made for and given to Vicky Konecky the owner of Grandma's Spinning Wheel. My 2nd pair I finished up on vacation but I tweeked the pattern, it's the pink & ecru pair. My 3rd pair I made like the 2nd but did 3 colors ecru, orange, and brown, these looked great with my bathing suit. The earrings are great for the pool, getting them wet does no harm. All the earrings were either made using some old this and that crochet thread I already had or Nazli Gelin Garden thread.
There is more to come on the projects I finished on vacation......

Carolyn's Wedding Present
Last weekend I attended the wedding of an old high school friend. It was like no other wedding I had ever been to and Greg, Seth and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It was down to earth and casual and fun!
Of course I made a gift for my friend. Since we are so close I wrote in the note that if it wasn't to her liking she could send it back and I would make something more to her liking. When she got back from her honeymoon she texted me, "I love the gift. Sorry u cant have it back its my favorite of all the gifts." I have never received a better AND worse text. Greg and I fell in love with it while I was making it.
Since I was on vacation this past week, there is more to come, as I finished several projects.
