I started crocheting on this Shawl May 12th. I haven't crocheted in over 2 years but thought this would be a nice project to get me to pull out the crochet hooks again.

I used Lion Brand Homespun Yarn for this shawl and thought it turned out really nice. I have never used this yarn before and thought it would be nice to try out.

I started knitting on these Opal Harry Potter (Lupin) Socks Size 5's on May 2, 2009, while traveling from Massachussetts to Arizona. I finished the first pair of socks on May 3, 2009. I knitted up 3 1/2 pairs of socks out of a 100 gram ball.

I'd start knitting around 7:30 am and stop when we'd get to a rest stop or have lunch. Then when we'd get back on the road again I'd start knitting again. I'd finally stop for the day around 4 or 4:30 pm.

Knitting on the road helped to pass the time.

Knitting Socks in the Car

Well, I thought I would be starting on a new pair of Toddler Socks. However, I still had lots of Opal Harry Potter (Tonks) Sock Yarn left. So I have been just knitting up these Tonks Toddler Size 4 Socks. I have 4 1/2 pairs knitted up so far, but 3 of these pairs I had knitted up pior to leaving Massachusetts. I am almost finished with the last sock and will finish it up tomorrow and then will start on a new pair of socks.

Then new pair of socks will be knitted from some Opal Harry Potter (Lupin) Sock Yarn. I will be knitting Toddler Socks Size 5 with this yarn. I will have to take the pictures after we arrive in Yuma, AZ, as my camera is packed in with our house hold stuff. I didn't have room for it in my suitecase.

Knitting in the car helps to pass the day. My husband likes to do all the driving so I'm free to sit and knit as much as I want to.
