Some pictures..


Above is a picture of a recent baby sweater I gave away to a coworker. She said she was hoping that I would knit something for her baby when I gave it to her. It only took me a week to knit, super easy.

Below is a picture of me.

For now keep on knitting..

Long time no post

I know, I know, I have not posted in a long time... and I have not posted any pictures either. Truth be told, I am on the computer mostly at work, and I am there to work, and am not supposed to be posting on my personal blog while at work. So due to those facts, when I get home at night, I usually do not get on the computer at home and update.
I actually tried to post a entry last Saturday. I was waiting on my oldest daughter to come pick me up for some shopping and got out my yougest daughter's lap top (my lap top is really really old and really really slow). I was even in the middle of loading some current pictures of my lastest works when Sirena pulled up to pick me up so off I had to go.
This weekend her and her husband are going camping with us at Stockton lake. We are taking the boat out for the first time this year (hurray!). The forecast says there are several chances all weekend though for thunderstorms and the temperature is not exactly going to be hanging out in your swimsuit weather either. At least is getting out of the city and for that I am thankful. We both plan on taking our knitting in case we are stuck under a canopy with nothing to do but drink beer. Better to keep the hands busy than drinking too much beer, right?

For now keep on knitting though and hopefully soon I will post some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

I thought it was supposed to be spring??

Well, well, well, it seems that old man winter has returned to most of the USA and will be here for most of the weekend. Just what we all wanted, right? Really, think about it, us knitters get to stay inside and finish up some of winter knitting projects, or begin new projects. What could be more exciting?
The recent cold snap, does not bother me at all. I would not say that I am thrilled about it, but I do like to look at life positively, so for me it just means for reason to stay inside this weekend and knit.
Sorry, but I do not have any pictures to post (at work blogging on my break), but I have been doing some knitting. Almost done with the second baby suprise sweater, have about 6 more rows to go and need to get buttons for it and the first one. Both of those babies have been born, but just very recently, so I am not going to beat myself up about not having it completed and wrapped to give to the mom's. I have one more to work on, and that baby is due next month, but the shower here at work is next week. It would be nice to be able to give to the mom on that day, but it may not happen.
I worked on a wine cozy from the online knitty magazine, turned out fabulous. Knitted it with some chunky Noro I got from the LYS last weekend. I got to take my daughter to the local Plaza yarn store, The Studio, and she loved it of course. I went with earlier in the day to the Nelson Atkins museum and came away very inspired. I had never been, is that not sad?? I have lived in KC for over 20 years and never went. I am so going back now.
Well that is it for now, enjoy the cold weather and knit something this weekend!
