Linky Tuesday

I'm totally copying Courtney on this, but I thought I'd do a post of pretty things I've found on Ravelry recently.

Mountain man bearded hat
Look for this soon as a WIP :-)

Vinculum cardigan
That is GORGEOUS!!! Might have to think about buying that next year to make for myself???

Woobie Zebra
Super cute for a baby gift!

Rachael Scarf
Chevron patterns are so "in" right now.

Open work Infinity Scarf
I bet that would knit up really quick!

Oslo Anorak
OMG That is friggen adorable! I wish the bigger sizes were free. Norah would be the cutest little elf baby!

Hope you are all having a nice week... we're all fighting colds in our house and it's been rainy and chilly out. Makes it nice to stay inside with hot chocolate and blankets though (and coffee lol).

Ravelversary!

Yesterday was my 3 year Ravelversary.... the anniversary of the day I got accepted to join Ravelry! (Back then there was a wait list to join, I'm sure most of you remember!

Anyway I just wanted a moment to thank Casey and Jess for starting the most useful knitting website I have ever known! As Cynthia and I discussed earlier today, we don't know what we would have been knitting these past few years without it! And it is such an easy and convenient way to track projects and yarn and everything.... whew!!!!

Are you all members of Ravelry, if you are a knitting reader? If not, what is wrong with you! Just kidding. When is YOUR Ravelversary??? :)

Ravel-versary!

Today is my 2 year Ravel-versary, the anniversary of the day I joined Ravelry!!!!!


I honestly don't know what I would do without that website, it really has encouraged my knitting, and given me a place to search for patterns and ideas!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Where my STITCHES at????

YAY!!!!!!!!!! My Ravelry Tshirt FINALLY came!!!!!


Woot!!!! I like it a lot. Although I did order a large, and was worried to find it so SNUG... even with my recent weight loss! lol. Oh well, it fits alright as long as I dont gain anything ;-) I do like the design though. It will be perfect under other shirts too!

Otherwise still knitting on my IHS.. I just started the second ball. So that means I got 34" out of one skein. Not too shabby!

Designated Knitter and I are in cahoots to knit our coworker a scarf & gloves, since she graciously bought us lunch today as an xmas present! Our idea involves DREAM IN COLOR yarn... so I am SUPER pumped about that. Ever since I knit my Rocketry (Ravelry link here) I have been dying to use it again!!!!!

Hope everyone has a fun weekend, I have several family Christmas parties... several with my future in-laws and fam (but they are all super awesome and I am excited)!!!!

Friday the 13th

Oooooooooooo spooky! Friday the 13th! It is so bright and sunny and beautiful out, it doesn't feel like a scary day at all. :-)

I took this picture this morning of my swatch for the baby blanket M and I soon will be making out of the Knit Picks yarn I got in the mail the other day....


Such a nice picture with the morning sunlight shining on it! The yarn is awesome too... so soft and pleasant to knit with. Can't wait to start working on the blanket!

Ravelry is amazing. I have already uploaded most of my stash and a lot of my projects. Anyone who is still waiting, be patient, because it is totally worth it (and plus, the longer you wait the better the website will be when you finally get in!)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Ravelry!!!

Finally! I got my Ravelry invite!!!! I could not be more excited. I signed up May 22... so I have waited patiently. It was so worth it
