In rainy rainy land far far a...

I had time to knit...but alas this lame lady has been taken over but the power of moving boxes and a hand truck.

But I did sneak in a couple rounds on the doily the other day at work. Its about the size of my hand now. Yippie. Some where in the land of boxes lies my habit. I am itching to go find it all that wonderful yarn and fiber ..but I am being good and unpacking first. Then I can sit in my new backyard and knit away. I have not even bought any and I was in a yarn shop.

I did however buy a hand full of beads and such... But I needed them to do the necklace for Mels mom.

Mel on her 21 B-day



so I am off to complete that task then maybe make some stitch markers...Or sleep.

State of Heart...

I forgot my knitting today and could not find the crochet hook in the right size for the purple doily so here I have started a new one. With what basically looks like thread. Its exciting. Yes that is a Thirteen crochet hook, its itty bitty.




What it will some day grow up to be. Pretty.

Lovely.



its a long long day I worked it out and for the last three weeks and the next two weeks I have 240 working hours. No wonder I am tired. I do much better with two days off in a week rather then one. I can do I will stick it out. I need the OT anyway.

Back to the hook.

Seconds always

I am hungry and wish for a good home cooked meal. Do you think if I keep wishing one will magically appear? It used to appear when my parents came to visit me at work they would bring me something yummy to eat. My Dad has been out here twice in the last week and he did not even ask me if I was hungry. So odd for my Dad he must have stuff on his mind.

I have all my non WIP yarn packed along with all the sewing stuff. SO now I can pack the other five boxes that aren't taken up with huge amounts of yarn, beads, and fabric. I am a stasher but Have high hopes for all my projects yet to come.

So a little lovin...



A nice thing to wake up too...


A little blurry but this would be the work in progress 10x10 in royal quilt stitch. It reminds me of fishnets. Look mom I am knitting on plastic needles..so weird. In the midst of moving I found some of my uber nice circ needles the ones that feel just perfect in you hands.



Some of the Maltese crosses and a mitered square. I still need to block these and hide my tails.

but they go in the WIP box until after I move.

I hate moving you would think I would just settle down...But no I got to bop.

Donut or Doily

Well I suppose I should pick the doily over the donut.

SO my second Doily ever...Its half way done I present to you.

O it is weird to crochet. It seems to use more yarn/thread. But it is fun I picked up a great bunch of Crochet charts from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. They are great I can't read the crochet pattern but I can follow the charts. They were a steal at 4 four a quarter.

I got a couple great knitting mags to. Some of the older vouges and a great winter issue of some random knitting mag that has the best cardi's and belted sweaters. I think I am going to make a couple for my mom and sis for x-mas.

Then today I got some wonderful photo art books all hardback for a quarter each. I also picked up Angela's Ashes, Brother and Sister, and All Things Great and Beautiful. Then I found some coned Wool both tan and a slate blue with navy slubs will make a fun little felting project.

I feel good.

I have been knitting away on my Maltese crosses I am working on my sixth one. When I get ten I will send them out. I have received several and am excited for the rest to come.

Mohair...wicky wicky yo>

You are Mohair
You are Mohair.
You are a warm and fuzzy type who works well with
others, doing your share without being too
weighty. You can be stubborn and absolutely
refuse to change your position once it is set,
but that's okay since you are good at covering
up your mistakes.


What kind of yarn are you?

The Girls

The Girls

DO you like this or the window?

Well that's a burnt biscuit

My lovely long post and update have been swept away and are nowhere to be found.

So a short recap.

Not knitting yesterday.
Thur the server was down so lots of knitting.

Went and saw Princess Diaries II yesterday with Sonny. IT was good, however there were lots of kids. Not nice quiet well behaved children with responsible parents..The other kind.
