Hello!!!
Monday, Monday
:( Down in the Dumps today! After a long weekend, it sucks to come back to work.
I started on the black poncho, but I don't like how it is coming out. Something doesn't feel right. I might change yarns that I am working with.
My mother wants another scarf for her birthday which is Dec. 24th. I told her not to pressure me with another project, but we'll see.
Stuffed!
:? I finally finish the green poncho, just in time for my cousin's birthday on Dec 1st. Now I have to start the black poncho for Christmas.
Please tell me why we eat so much food on Thanksgiving. I am stilll so stuffed I need such a nap right now!
YEAH!!
:D I finished the second panel of the sage green poncho!!! I just have to sew together and then fringe. Then I can start on the black Lamb's Pride poncho.
Last night I went to my nephew's basketball game. He is 11 yrs. old. They won 27-25. What a great game! My nephew is a sports fanatic. He plays baseball, soccer (indoor and outdoor) and basketball!
Monday, Monday
:cry: I am always so sad when Monday comes around, the weekend has come and gone again.
I am almost done with the second panel of the sage green Patons Decor poncho. Then just sew it together and 1 birthday gift done. Then I have to start on the 2nd poncho for Christmas. On Thursday night at my LYS, I bought this beautiful blue Nature's Wool yarn to make felted slippers. I cannot wait to start on those.
My mother's birthday is Christmas Eve, so if I finish the second poncho I will make the slippers for her.
TGIF
:D Last night I went to the LYS to knit with some friends and I finished one panel of the poncho I am working on. I also bot some beautiful blue wool to make felted slippers out of. Everytime I am in the yarn store I end up buying something. It is very dangerous. My stash is becoming bigger than my room that I keep it in!
I woke up at 4:30 a.m. today because I had a nightmare, so that was it I up for the duration and so I knit. and knit. and knit. until 7:00 a.m. I am soo ready for a nap!
Knitting away
:lol: So, today I got my copy of SNB Nation. I am so excited! I glanced through and saw some great stuff in it. I also got Knit Wit, which has great stuff in it as well. Tonight I go to my LYS to knit away with friends.
I have adopted two soldiers overseas. I wrote them both letters and am gathering stuff to send to them as care packages. Hopefully they get their packages by Christmas!
Good Day
:D So, last night I so wanted to knit, I studied for an hour and then I promptly fell asleep until 7:00 this a.m. I was so upset because I fell asleep, but glad because I really needed it.
Tonight I have the knitting meetup and tomorrow night I meet at the LYS and I will be able to knit to my heart's content.
At Work
:( Ever have one of those days when you just want to stay home and in bed? Today is one of those days.
I made great progress in the Sage green poncho for my cousin's birthday. It looks great. (I think). I think when I start to make progress on something I do not want to stop...I just want to keep knitting. Is that obsessive or what?
So, now I am at work and not wanting to be here and can't wait to go home tonight and knit some more.
I bot the Stitch n Bitch Nation book from Amazon.com and can't wait to get it!
Done, Done, Done
:P So, I finished the Black seed stitch scarf for my cousin!!! It looks great and I only messed up two - three times! I am so excited. I am now working on a poncho for another cousin's birthday. I got a good start to it yesterday!
Friday night I went to a home and garden demonstration -- I bot a few candles, not much else - it was very expensive.
Saturday night I volunteered at Benefest which is a black tie affair for Special Olympics. I had alot of fun.
Down under today
:( Feeling down today. Thanks to those who welcomed me yesterday!
Last night I went to my knitting club, but because I was not there last Thursday, I did not know that there wasn't a meeting last night. So, I was a little bummed about that. But, I went home and got very ambitious and so I finished a baby scarf that I had started and then worked on the seed stitch scarf and got that 3/4's of the way done. I was happy about the progress on that. I should get that finished this weekend.
I have to go to one of those home demonstrations tonight. Sooo exciting!
New Blog
:lol: I just started this blog. Not sure that I am doing this correctly but am trying. Tonight I have my Knitting Club at R.A. Yarns in Warwick. I love to go on Thursdays! It is open knitting and it used to be just 5 of us but now that the colder weather is here there are 20 of us. The store is just too small. I am working on a black seed stitch scarf for my cousin Cheryl. It will match her purple and black sweater. I can't wait for it to be finished. I have to concentrate too hard when I work on it.
