I have one sock completed and the second one about half way down on the cuff. Will take a pic and post it tomorrow if I don't get that April Fools Virus everyone is talking about.

Yarns from Knitivity
Check out this website... www.knitivity.com His email addy is: ray@knitivity.com
Ray is very talented and hand paints the yarn in his shop. I ordered this when he was having a sale. I can't wait to wind up the Storm Surge tonight and start on a pair of wool socks for my DH.
I ordered worsted weight, sport weight and fingering. The yarn is 100% wool.
Got an email with this yarn in it for sale from sockyarnsales website. I checked out the website and ordered this yarn. I am very pleased with it. Tonight I start by winding this yarn and making a pair of wool socks for DH. This one is called Storm Surge and it is WW.
This one is called Glacier Berry. It is sport weight. I can see some pretty socks for DDIL.
These four skeins are four sport weight. They are colors Art School, Jr. and Art School, Sr.
These are two skeins of sport weight and two skein of fingering weight yarn. The color is Graffiti.
This a picture of them all together.
This is just what I have needed to get my out of that "don't know what to knit" hump that I have been in for a couple of weeks. Have knit a couple of dishcloths but nothing big. I still need to finish Sarah's poncho. I have the two panels done but need to pick up the 200+ stitches on each side of each panel for the sleeves. I will wait for the days to be longer so I have better sunlight.
I hope you all take a look at Rays Yarns. I sent him a couple of pictures of my cat Samantha and sons dog Ollie. He is going to paint me some yarn for a cardigan for me out of Samantha's color and some socks, hats and mittens out of Ollie's colors for my DS for Christmas gifts.

Camp for Sale in Maine with owned Land
As you can see in this picture, we have put in windows on the porch and a new front door and storm door. We are planning on finishing the porch this summer and making another bed/sun room out of it. I am hoping to put in some nice hardwood flooring in this room so I won't have to worry about it getting dirty like the rug in the bedroom. Love rugs, but prefer to wash flooring then rugs any day!!
We are also going to see what the cost will be to put a metal roof on so we don't have to shovel it every snowstorm...which is a lot easier to do with just a few inches rather than a couple three feet of snow like most of the other camp owners do. I enjoy going up there for the day, so now we can just enjoy the day without a lot of extra roof raking..just the deck and ramp and driveway to do. I hope we will be able to match the deck color if we do have the metal roof put on, but that will be if we have enough money left from taxes to do that. First to get finished will be the new room. Need to get a door for inside as we will be taking the window out and making a doorway there.
Here are a few pictures of our summer home. The camp is 28 x 40. The bedroom is 16 x 18 ...the deck is a three sided wrap around.The bathroom is 12 x 12 with a tub/shower and closet space. There is a loft with two beds and a screened in porch that can easily be finished into a second bedroom....10 x 16 in size. The land is 1.75 acres...consists of 275 feet of shore frontage. The lake is spring fed and is one mile by 2 miles. It is very private and secluded area with families living there year round now. We are on the snowmobile trails and the ATV trails.
Rainbows are plentiful here too. We seem to get a lot of them on this end of the lake due to the suns rays.
The loons are right out front all the time. This one let me take many pictures of it without swimming too far out so that I got some good closeups of it.
The camp was built in 1998. It has a new septic system, bathroom, roof, deck (2000)

Snow Dump, Sarah and Ben
Alan is standing in front of the snow pile that is put there by the town crew. They bring snow from around town and blow it up on this bank and it grows daily!
Sarah is playing with her leapfrog...and Zoe the cat is not at all bothered!!
Alan snow blowing the deck on Wednesday. Just a little on the deck as the winds seem to blow most of it off. Very little on the roof too.
Sarah and Ben. She kept saying to take her picture with Ben on his play mat. He was crying and just didn't want to lay there while we took pictures...only got a couple of shots. And he is crying in each one!
