I guess it's about time for a blog update! :-)

I've started the Simply Lovely Lace Socks, but I really haven't made too much progress. I've done a few more rows then this picture, but I have it on hold right now because one of the lace patterns didn't come through for some reason, I'm thinking maybe I didn't psso properly, instead I may have passed the yarn over instead. There's a small hole, but it's not like all of the others (nice and lacey like).

I've also almost finished a UFO from before Christmas. It's an earflap hat for Paisley. This is my second hat from the same pattern except I made Paisley's bigger. The first hat I made for my best friend's little boy and he's just over a year. I have one small beef with the hats though. I made Paisley's the size bigger, followed the pattern properly but it still seems small. It still needs an edge around it and the earflaps sewn on, maybe that will make a difference?? I guess I'll find out when it's all finished, but compared to the first one it seems like almost the same size.
I can't wait to get the ball rolling again, but for now I have the knitting blahhhs. Speaking of ball though... Instead of knitting tonight, I had my good friend Becky over for dinner. I made us spaghetti & meatballs, one of my hubby's fabulous recipes. Before he left for work this afternoon, he left me a recipe for the meatballs titled "Ron's Balls", just goes to show you what a character (I mean pervert) he is! *LOL* It makes me love him more though.
