Pink Baby Socks

These were the lovely pink socks I was knitting...the pattern can be found at Knitting Pattern Central, as Super Quick Baby Socks, in the Baby section. They are super quick to knit and I really loved the pattern, the only I did differently was the leg part, Instead of 1.5 inches or ribbing I did like 4 rows of ribbing and the rest of stockinette st. oh! and I didn't use worsted weight yarn I used light worsted. I will definitely be using this pattern again in the future, each sock took me about an hour and a half to knit or 2.

Happy Knitting!!
And God Bless! :D

Look Out

Blogger's Question: When you spilled the milk, did it look like the moon?

And my completely fictional answer: (It wont let me write more than 400 characters so I must write it here! alas!)

The Mo0n Shaped puddle of Milk

As I took out the carton of the delicious 1% Milk, I could already smell its milky cowish aroma. Oh! How it brought wonderful childhood memories of mother making breakfast and nanny preparing the chocolate milk for us! Ah the olden days, how I miss them so!

So I opened the cupboard, grabbed one of mother's porcelain tea cups, yes the ones with the fine Japanese designs delicately hand painted on, and served myself some milk.

Oh how I wish my heart had not desired its taste, for when I placed the carton on the counter, my clumsy hands knocked it over.

Oh woe is me! The milk! Oh that luscious soft savory milk splashed on the tiled floor!

My world came crumbling down as I witnessed in horror the silky white liquid spilling itself from the carton...and that's when I saw it. The moon shaped puddle the 1% Milk formed on mother's tiled kitchen floor.

Confessions of a Knitting heart

Well this has nothing to do with knitting...but while I knit I meditate on things..and well this is what I've been thinking as of late. How much I miss him. I just don't get it. God can be so mysterious sometimes and just when you think you're about to figure Him out you realize you're nowhere near from even beginning to figure God out. Like why would He want me to meet "him" (lets call "him" funnybunny) if there is absolutely no possible way for us to meet at least not this year...but its not just that, why would God let us have feelings for each other, I ultimately don't know about him but I did have and do have real feelings for him, if God knows what funnybunny is going through and what I went through...it makes absolutely no sense...but then again walking around Jerico and shouting to bring a wall down is pretty senseless as well and yet it worked perfectly...All I can do is be patient. I was thinking of what my Gastroenterology teacher said today, I love that woman! she's so bible savy and always talking about God. She said something about resting in the knowledge that God is in control and knows what He wants of her...or something along those lines...in example it would be.. if I have 5 tests and I fail 3, I've only passed the ones God needed me to pass..kind of like how I'm a semester behind and for some reason I knew this had to happen and I never freaked out or got sad because I knew that this happened because God willed it so, and He only wants what is best for me. So I'm thinking that God wants what is best for me and funnybunny and for now He's chosen for us to meet and talk all we've talked and to now remain "silent" and all I need to know is just trust in what He's doing, and wait patiently for whatever is to come...
I know its a bit confusing but I understand it! *giggle*
Sometimes I think too much...*sigh* I just want to find my God-appointed husband and get married!

God bless you all!!

(And if somehow you've found this "funnybunny", and you've read it...sometimes there's tons of things i'd like to say to you but I just don't know how, and you're so impossible to get a hold of I never know at what time of the wee hours of the night will you be on..)
