Knitalong Day!

Sockapalooza:
My sockapalooza pal was Kim of Kim's Knitting World and she recieved her socks last week and they fit, shoo-wee! I was worried about them being too small. There are pictures of her modeling them and everything over at her sight, go check them out!! I loved getting my socks in the mail, it was my very first pair of hand knit socks that someone else knit for me!! What a great exchange! Thanks Alison for organizing such a great exchange!!

Clapotis:
My mom is no longer calling it the Crapotis...which is a good thing! She and RayLynn are both cruising right along. I have no pictures of their progress, alas, you'll just have to make due with mine! (since I can't convince either one to start a blog of their own. They both say their lives aren't interesting enough! Phooey!) I still have only dropped one stitch, so I'll spare you the pathetic picture that I took of my one little ladder. I will show you that it is slowly but surely growing!!

Isn't it so fun with the sweet treats stitch markers!! I truly believe that anytime now I'm going to start knitting faster! (as referenced above...I've got to get to the next donut!) The last week or so, since finishing some of these other projects, I really want to start knitting something new. I haven't given in...I'm going to finish this Clapotis, finish the Koigu glovelets that are 2 inches from being finished (come on! why aren't these done yet??), work on the long neglected Ginger (since RayLynn told me the other day she doesn't think it will ever get done! Those sound like fighten' words to me!! I'll show her!), and my fry-up! No new projects for me...I do love a new project though!

Fry-Update!
My Fry-Up is still not finished...I am not leading by example here ladies, sorry! I do have a question for everyone though, what color should my purse be? I have three options: green, light yellow, or hot pink. You can vote below:

Here's what everyone else is up to:
•Niki just has to make one more egg and a piece of toast. She asks a good question...who only eats one egg, you have to have two!?

"Fried Up" and already served!!:
•Jessica has her hat done, and it's already been debuted by both her son and the intended recipient, her sister!
•Sarah B. has her purse lined and it fits all the necessities!
•Lori lined her purse with John Deere fabric. I love it!! She has a picture of herself modeling the purse out and about in her Feb.16 entry, it looks great.
•Megan has had her hat done for a while. I think that she was the first one done actually!
•Ann has had an adventure knitting her fry up. I didn't know if it was going to make it there for a while, but finish it she did!!
•Mozemen has a great picture up of the front and back of her bag. She even made her plate look all fancy!! Way to go!!

Seeing all these hats and bags knit up makes a knitalong hostess so proud...and it's motivating me to get mine finished too!! You better believe that I'm going to carry this thing with pride!!
