5 Day's and counting

Yes....5 days and counting till we hit the OB!!! 
I am crazy busy. Got the son together today for the trip, shoes, shorts, shirts, swimsuit.
Of course nothing fit him from last summer. I think he grew 10 inches!!!
Yesterday the girls going had a Pedi party! I was the coordinator. I supplied snacks, beach theme  and of course the FUN!

Husband gets his new tennis shoes tomorrow. His are so grass stained, its kinda embarrassing....
Daughter has a JOB, and is 20, do I have to buy for her? She has more in her savings than    me!!!So she is on her own.
Then there is me.......Clothes? Shoes? NAH, PROJECTS!!! 
I decided it would be UFO trip this year. Yes I am leaving with started projects and returning with them done!!!
First on the list is the halfway completed sock for hubby. It was in my last blog. I should have that done by Ohio. It is that far along.

Second. The Camo socks on the left are young sons. Started....I don't remember. I had to rip back due to a miscalculation in the foot part. So to sleep they went. 
The other, black and white are the skull mittens for my daughter. I started them over the winter and the first mitten was completed in a few
 evenings. BUT it was extremely small! And I read the pattern color chart wrong. SO I started a new pair, with a  much larger needle and the correct color chart. BUT, I messed up somewhere and now need to rip to the line ribbing and start again. SO off to sleep they went.....

This was a kit I picked up at BLOOMIN Yarns, over the fall, last week of October for sure. I loved the colors, my daughter was with me and said she would like them. Once again, I started them and everything was going good, TILL, I missed two rows and used the wrong color!!! Damn, you must think I don't know anything!!!
So I need to rip back this pair to the orange design and begin again.....AGHHHH!!

AND here it is!!!!!!!!!!! The G&*^%mn lace shaw!! The satan pattern. It has been ripped Several times. I am thinking, I may save it for the last thing I do. I am being positive...I am bringing two different yarns. In hopes that I will make two.....
It is fun to get these together and then see them finished! I will be so happy, if in two weeks from today I come back with almost if all of these projects completed. I mean, they are small. Not too difficult to do. And very portable. I can take them down to the beach. Time will tell.....
I am thinking positive.  You think positive also....GO grab a UFO and FINISH IT!!! We will all feel better!!! Peace out my Knittin Peeps!!! Keep those needles clicking!
