I cast this off earlier today. I've had it almost complete for a while but just put it away and never looked at it again. I only had to do the repeat one more time, the border and cast it off so here it is. I still need to bury the ends in and wash it. Possibly some light blocking. But I love the color and the pattern was amazingly simple for such ( Read more... )

I don't make resolutions because I just blow them- usually within the first week. But I do make plans and the one that is always ongoing for me is getting organized. I have a ton of yarn and knitting supplies. The yarn I'm going to get all in one place (I have it in clear tubs) so that I have a handle on it. What would be nicer is if I took the ( Read more... )

Had a baby shower for a co-worker from my previous job. This was the blanket I knitted for her- she's having a boy that is due on Christmas day. Have to admit, I love these colors. The pattern was the standard blue/pink/white but just loved how these looked.

New yarns that I can now show off because I have a camera!!

Sunseeker- I couldn't pick between these fabulous colors so I got one each. The orange is actually light, more melon colored and it shows the sparkle it has. These will make lovely summer shawlettes.

I love to read. The problem is, when I start to read, I can not stop. To prove a point, I started and finished FOUR full length novels since Thursday night. This includes the newest JD Robb book- Celebrity in Death. And a series that has without a doubt some of the hottest mansex I've ever read- starting with Bound in Honor, Bound by Law and Ties ( Read more... )

I finished my first baby hat- it's so stinkin' cute I can't stand it. :) The first project I've completed on double pointeds and I'm so pleased with myself. I'll get pictures as soon as I get a camera. Now I need to make a matching one ( Read more... )

It's totally my own fault, mind you. I did it to myself. You know. Stayed up not one, but TWO nights in a row for my eye candy fix. And I'm not saying it wasn't totally worth it- it was, with two awesome episodes. But geesh, I paid for it with dragging my butt the rest of this week at work. Like I said, completely my fault. (I'm a sucker for ( Read more... )

I just ordered this from Etsy for my pretty new shawl- a very pretty shawl pin. I thought it a nice treat for myself. This artist has some stunning jewelry and her shawl pins are so beautiful. Very hard to pick just one out.
