KAL

I am joining my first KAL! It's for the Irish Hiking Scarf. Thanks to Jessica for finding the website. We're gonna do it together, awww.

Ah, look at the beautiful button in the sidebar. :-D

Peace out for now!

WiP Day

OK! Time to reveal the current WiP, including the much anticipated cabled scarf (ha).

Project Numero Uno:

Baby Blanket. I have made it to the second skein! Woo hoo! Wanting to get to that second ball was great motivation last night to knit, so it is looking longer and longer!!!! I have to make sure I work on this the most so I can hurry up and give it to the kid while he's still a baby!


P.S. Check out the awesome quality of this picture... yay for natural light and yay for my cell phone! Also notice my lovely remote controls, magazines, and knitting books scattered on my coffee table. :-) p.s. The knitting book in the middle is "Sexy little knits"... reccomended by Crazy Aunt Purl and subsequently ordered off of Amazon... pretty cute stuff in there!!!!

Project Deux:

Cabled scarf for dad! Doesn't need to be done until August, but once I started knitting it, and taught myself how to do the cables, (woo hoo!!!!) I got all excited and knitted a bunch of it...haha... it's really not that hard, and I love how it looks! It's called the "Irish hiking scarf" also, which is perfect because my dad is irish. :) Knitting with Green Mountain Spinnery yarn.



Project three:

Gryffindor scarf.... on hiatus. This thing is on the back burner for now, but it doesn't need to be done until winter time anyway! Hopefully after the above mentioned projects, I will put some more work in on it.



Project quattro:

Waiting on yarn. My first sweater!!!!!!!!! I am going to knit the hourglass sweater from last minute knitted gifts. I have my order in for some beautiful dusty lilac colored yarn. I can't remember what kind it is right now. Heh.

OK well hope everyone has a good Thursday, they are throwing a barbeque here at work for lunch, AND it's a dress down day, so mine is going good so far!

knitting at... lunch?!?!?

Surprise, I am knitting on my lunchbreak! Hah... wherever did I come up with the name for this blog anyway? yeah, so...

Look at that cute little yarnover. Isn't it adorable? Lol... I was in mid-row, and felt like taking a picture. I am still plugging away at that ol' blanket... a little each day. I hope I can get it done before the kid is in high school!

Today is COLD and RAINY. So much for a nice spring day in mid-may. Sheesh. I could even see my breath this morning. Indiana = lame.

Alright, back to work. Happy friday! (Gonna go out tonight, woo hoo)

progress!!!

Woohoo! It is actually starting to look like a blanket! (My hand included as a size gauge) It now could keep a small puppy warm, or maybe be considered a short wrap for your shoulders. I must say, living alone is nice because I have had lots of time to hang out and knit! I am really enjoying this pattern. I can't wait to get it done and mailed off to my cousin. Then I can make myself get back to the harry potter scarf. Oh that scarf.... I love knitting with the cascade, but the straight stockinette really makes my brain melt after awhile. I will have to start another patterned project to keep me interested. Possibly a scarf for my dad? (The only member of my family that I haven't made a scarf for yet???) I am going out of town tonight to see several people graduate tomorrow! Drinking will commence after... the commencement. Oh yes, it will be a hazy and probably queasy sunday morning, but I am anticipating a good time. :-D OK well everyone have a good weekend, I hope I will have internet in my apartment next week so I can post more often. Adios!
