gifts
VACATION HERE I COME!!!
I got a gift from my SP4 yesterday, a nice bath fizz ball (which I will enjoy very much!) and a nice knitted doily! Thank you so much SP4! I can't show you because I cannot figure out how to get pictures on here. Someday...
I am still working on the socks, they are coming along very nicely if I must say.
I will not be posting anything until March 2nd. I will be in Florida until then so I will talk to you guys at that time!
Hump Day
I have not been doing too much on the knitting front. I have been making dish clothes for my mother because she LOVES them. That's about it. Tonight I have a knitting meetup at Brewed Awakenings here in Providence.
The best is -- one week from today I will be in Florida!
Monday, Monday
I made my first hat over the weekend! It came out very nice! I am also still working on my socks. Slow going, but going. Nothing new to report on the sweater.
I have a new date for my test, April 1st. Can you beat that?
TGIF
I am learning how to make a sock! It is coming along quite nicely after a few road blocks! I ripped the thing out a few times, but am plugging along nicely!
I cannot wait to go home and work on it some more. It takes a while to get comfortable working with the DPNs. The yarn is Frog Tree, 100% baby alpaca sock yarn. It is a nice purple.
I am also working on a hat from a pattern I got in one of the magazines. I cannot remember the name of the pattern but it is made with Tahki Baby and on number 15 needles. Works up very quickly. I did not work on my sweater last night. I was too busy with the socks.
I hope everyone has a great weekend and I'll talk to you Monday!
Thursday -- LYS Night!
I love Thursdays!
I have a meeting first. I am the Chair for the Special Olympics RI Fashion Show. I have been doing this for 7 - 8 years now, and I absolutely love it! This year our theme is "The Greatest Show On Earth"!
Then I get to go to class! I am going to continue on with my sweater. I found a pattern for a hat that I want to make -- so I am going to try to find some yarn that I can use. I also found a sock pattern that I want to try! DPNs -- ewwwww! I don't know if I will be able to do this!
I sent my SP4 her first gift, I hope she likes it!
No title needed
O.K. -- I am trying to get back on track. I start studying again on Monday for the big test. I have to wait 30 days to take it again. Enough said on that.
I was going through my stash last night and I have soooo much yarn and soooo many things I want to make that I don't know where to begin. I am still working on my sweater, but I only knit 2-3 rows at a time. (This thing is going to take me forever to make!) I want to learn how to make socks. I want to make felted slippers. My cousin would like me to make a Spring poncho for her 11 month old daughter (if anyone has a pattern for that please let me know).
The weatherman says it is going to snow again tomorrow -- another 4-7 inches. My front yard is going to have snow until June!
Test
Thank you for the warm thoughts and wishes for my exam! I did not pass though. I missed it by 10 questions. I just cannot take exams. I work myself up so much!
I will be taking it 1 more time though.
Nothing else on the knitting front. I drank my self into a stupor all weekend!
Hump Day
I haven't really knit too much lately. I have been studying every night for a huge test that I have to take for work on Friday. It is called the Series 7 exam and it will turn me from a secretary to a registered representative. I only need a 70 to pass, so anyone reading this please, please, please say a prayer for me! I really need it.
I just want Friday to be over so I can get back into the groove.
