Socks that fit!

I finished my first pair of socks that fit me!  Not only that but I modified my first knit pattern.  I modify crochet patterns all the time because I just get how it works much more than I do with knitting.  It was a pretty easy mod, I just made the lace pattern go down the top of the foot instead of ending at the ankle like the pattern called for.  Here they are:

I haven't worked on my quilt at all recently.  I'm not sure where that motivation went but it's gone.  I signed up for a swap on craftster for an art journal page.  I haven't started my page yet but have some ideas. 
I'm also working on making a bunch of crocheted star ornaments for the Ravelympics.  I meant to make them for Christmas and just ran out of time so I figured now was a good time.  I've done about 7 and I'm remembering how much of a pain thread work can be.  They look good though.  Haven't decided if I'm going to glitter them.
That's all for now.  I'm going to pajama jam at the Lamb Shoppe tonight so should get ready for that.  Hope everyone has a good weekend :)

CLASSy

The last week in January was a busy one for me.  I went to New Jersey to be trained in the Toddler CLASS.  It's a measure that will be used in our AIAN Head Start Research Center data collection, and is currently being used in the Baby FACES program.  Anyone who is involved in Head Start or Early Head Start has heard of FACES.  The rest of you are probably already board :o)  The training was in Plainsboro which is close to Princeton.  I unfortunately didn't get to see much of Princeton.  The night we went out for a group dinner I got a headache and had to go back to the hotel instead of exploring.  The worst part of the trip - I didn't have anything crafty to do.  I couldn't find my crochet hook before I left so just took books.  Jerry found the hook after I left in a very obvious place.  Seems normal for my life. :o)
On Saturday we helped DJ move.  It took awhile, but we got to eat at Roma's for a reward.  I'm not sure that Jerry liked it as much as I do, but I was happy.  Whoever came up with putting cream cheese in your carrolli/on your pizza was a genius.  I was exhausted when we got home, but we did manage to get up enough energy to go to Trent & Theresa's to play poker.  One round and I was done.  Actually not even one round.  I knew it was time for me to be done when I couldn't figure out how to break down my 500 chip to 100s after putting in my bet.  Simple math isn't so simple when you're tired.
On the crafty front I finished Kevin's hat before I left.  I like how it turned out, and hope he did too. 

Last night I finished Fran's gloves/mittens.  Since her hat was already finished I can take those over to her soon.

  

This week I'm hoping to work on the quilt some.  I only have 5 rows left to sew on (and then the boarder, and then quilting, and then binding) but only 5 rows left on the main part.  Friday we're having poker at our house.  I'm hoping for a good turnout, already looks promising.
