Spring Forward

I finally finished another pair of socks. This pair was started in June and set down but August is the month to try and finish those SIPs (socks in progress). I'm pretty happy that I managed to complete 2 pair.

Spring Forward

I bought this yarn a while ago because I loved the colors and contrast but it was difficult to find the right pattern to complement it. I decided on Spring Forward and even though the pattern might be hard to see, I liked how the pattern broke up the colors and eliminated pooling for the most part.

Heel and leg.

Now I have several shawls/scarves to complete so we'll see how my sock knitting goes. :)
Now for a different topic...remember we were cleaning out our garage/closets a couple of weeks ago and I found a lot of wedding items. I have my fine china in rotation with our regular dishes along with the nice flatware. There is also a wedding themed platter/plate that I think we used for keys and whatnot when we lived in Brentwood then packed away never to be seen for almost 12 years.

I opened the cupboard and saw it again, thinking what am I going to do with this now? Should I sell it or re-gift it? I turned it over and noticed the brand. Villeroy & Boch. Okay, that's a start. I start searching for this pattern and dish and see it on a replacement type store for fine china etc listed for $199 !! Wow. It's like brand new in perfect condition too and I can't remember who gave this to us as a wedding gift. 


That's cool, kind of like that show Cash in the Attic where people sell their stuff, some of which is valuable. People think certain items are worth lots and it's not or some little item they picked for $5 at a yard sale is worth thousands of $$. This was certainly unexpected. I can save it for when Tyler gets married. :) FYI: Joshua doesn't want to get married.
