Hootinitty
When I was at TNNA I stopped by my friend Laura, of Knitifacts, booth. She makes awesome stitch markers and I commented on how cute her new Owl of her Critters Line is. (If you haven't noticed I have a thing for owls… see HERE and HERE.)

A Sock Knitter
Well, I never thought it'd happen but I think it is. I think I'm becoming…
a sock knitter.

By-the-way, these little red and blue tubes are a great buy. You know, us 'sock knitters' love them.

Knitting Right Along
I've been knitting right along on my Alphabet Blanket. Can you see my row marker? Row 82!!! Actually, now I'm even farther than that!
I couldn't have made it this far already if not for my new buy - Pattern Tamers! (I got mine at my LYS but I see there is an Etsy shop too) Yes, another great tool for the knitter. These magnetic tools are very helpful in keeping my place on my knitting chart. It tames the eye and makes it more relaxing for me as I knit - not always the case with chart knitting! Plus, the decorative ribbons are too cute.
It's also a must for me to print the chart out at a much larger precent so I can see from a distance what I'm doing. Printing out on card stock also helps keep the chart stiff because the weight of the Pattern Tamers can make the chart flimsy. I also just discovered if I slide the chart into a plastic sheet protector I can easy slide the Pattern Tamers up a row after I finish one instead of totally readjusting it.

FO In Sight
I've almost got an FO! Just some seaming, blocking and pom-poms to make and I'll have another set like this one done.
I love my pom-pom tree. I ordered it after seeing Susan use one to make her prefect pom-poms. I followed the same link she listed and ordered it through here.
TGIF everyone! Have a great weekend!
