I do however promise a great update later this week.
Take care and have a great week!

Inspiration

I used to crochet.   I liked it and made many a scarf and afgan.  But when I found knitting then it all just seemed to click.   And in terms of looks, I never saw a crocheted garment that I’d want to wear.  Everything in the stores, all the sweaters I wanted to make one day [...]

A finished sock!

Here is a finished Serpentine sock for the July Sockamania KAL.

I used Laughing Rat Studios sock yarn in very pretty greens.  I definitely like how it is knitting up.
Last night Bethe showed me how to cable without a cable needle which makes it go much faster.
Thanks Bethe!
Still busy busy busy at work and still going [...]

Still wicked busy with work and stuff so I’ll have to post a more robust entry tomorrow.
For now, I found a link to the fall preview of Interweave Knits on someone’s blog.
I love some of these patterns!  I may have to cast on immediately for a couple!
So check it out for your viewing pleasure!

Busy busy.

Well, this weekend was a success with the gym at least. I didn’t knit much but I’ve worked out each day since Thursday and feel good. I am almost afraid to not go everyday as I fear I’ll just stop. I even got up before 5am to go this morning.
So, no knitting [...]

I feel better now.

Thank you all so much for the nice and supportive comments.
Last night after work, I walked into Bally’s and joined.  The sticker shock was a punch in the gut but I figure for the three years I have the membership (THREE YEARS YIKES!) in the end it will cost under $250 with my annual $150 [...]

Blech.

This is a boring blog week!  I’m sorry I’m lacking pictures on yet another post but I forgot the cord at home.
I meant to show you some sock progress on the July Sockamania socks.  I’ll have to show you tomorrow.  I don’t know if I’ll get these done this month.  I don’t know why but [...]

Just want to set the record straight.

I had a couple comments yesterday referring to my need for wine in order to complete my list of projects.
Let me first say that I don’t NEED wine.  I don’t want anyone getting the wrong idea here….BUT I happen to like wine.  Which is fine.  I like mostly everything else as well actually but I [...]

I like getting an early start.

I seriously intend to save my sanity this year.
Last year, I remember being at Tricia’s house and lying on the floor with the sweater that (while ridiculously simple and all garter stitch) just about made me cry.  The pattern was wrong and I had a week or two to finish it before I gave it [...]

Weekend update and some FO’s!

Posted in General Knitting, Knitting - FOs, Miscellaneous on July 16, 2007 | 9 Comments »

I am a little refreshed as I took a lot of time to sleep this weekend.  I really needed it too.
I did manage to whip out another baby hat for a gift another expectant mother (sex unknown hence the yellow):

And I finished my Stafford bag.  I LOVE IT.  LOVE IT.  LOVE IT.  Did I mention [...]
