You know, I can never figure out a good line to put in the subject. I am not very imaginative in that way. How do you figure out clever things to say in your subject lines?
The baby blanket is done! Yeah!!!!! I now have to work on a few other items. A scarf for the women who gave me the interchangeable needle set; an afghan for my cousin whose name I picked for Christmas; and possibly a poncho for another cousin who wants one. Also, I made myself a Blue Heron chenille scarf and my mother decided she wants one, so I picked up a skein from Ebay and I really should make her one (since she turns 60 on Christmas Eve).
Too many items to make, so little time!
I went through my yarn stash the other night. I decided that all of the yarn I was never going to use, that I really did not care too much about, I was going to give an old women who lives in one of the apartment housing for old people. So, I did. This women is in a wheelchair and all she does all day long is sit in the lobby of her building and knit. She was estatic! I am so happy I did that!
So, now, since my stash is much smaller, I can go to my LYS tonight when I go to knit and pick up some more yarn to add back to my stash!
Later!

Still plugging along on the baby blanket. Also starting a Cashmere scarf for a friend. I am having so much trouble with the socks. I keep frogging and restarting and it is a vicious cycle. I am going to give up for a little while and then go back to it.
I read Harlot's new book. What a great book! She is a terrific writer! I wish she would come to RI soon.
Happy knitting everyone! Have a great weekend!

Hello everyone! I started knitting another pair of socks. Why was it so much easier the first time I knit a pair? Why am I having so much trouble with this pair? Hopefully I get the knack of it again. I have to have them done by November 1st. I am still working on the baby blanket. More than halfway done now. I love the pattern!
I adopted two more Soldiers from overseas. I have corresponded with one so far and have not heard from the other one yet. I am getting items ready to package up and send to the first one.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! ;

I have been working on the baby blanket very steadily now and I have almost 2 feet of it done! I have also been working on some other items as well.
Last weekend I received a gift of some Boye Interchangeable Needles and it is a beautiful set. Yesterday I came home and there was a gift from my secret Pal. The Weekend Knitting book I have been wanting! Thank you so much SP!!!!! I will enjoy that gift very much!
Tomorrow is my birthday. I am having dinner with friends tonight and tomorrow night I will be going out with some of my cousins.
I have been spending lots of time with Lily as well. What a cutie pie she is! She has such a personality!
Have a great weekend everyone!
