Big Print

Im almost positive this is the yarn that Dani came over my house with and needed help with her first time sock. And now she is a pro. I really like this yarn. Im almost done with the first one and then Im on with the second. I love the way it stripes. Very cool !

Ops. I did it again .

I spent to much money. That's about the only thing I spend my money on is Yarn. I can't take it any more. I need to go into rehab.

The new KNIT 1 is out. Its ok, Nothing I would knit except for the passport cover. But I am definitely going to make tempting 2 for knitty. That's why I bought the the Rowan Calmer. I didn't realize how thin this yarn is, and its aran weight. I don't understand that. It looks thinner than worsted weight yarn, Although it is really a beautiful yarn Im gonna cast on for it tonight. I can't wait. But after I finish marks sock. Notice I said Sock. But I Have to promise myself I wil finish his pair of socks.

Where in the world is the snow.

I am dyeing to see a 12 inch snow fall. I feel like we are stuck in the spring, this is BS. I have been working on this scarf for ever and it seems like im not going to be able to wear it because of the weather, I haven't been able to wear any of my scarves I made this winter, if Winter is what you want to call it. But I did hear that this week is going to be a little colder and Im almost done with it so I can't wait to throw it around my neck when Im done. I ran out of the purple colors, So I went to My favorite store AC Moore just a little while ago and got some more, It's the cheap sugar and cream stuff. And its cotton nice and soft, not hard and not itchy. I weaved in all the ends as I went along so it wont be so unbearable to do in the end. Mark was eying it already. I told him don't even think about it.

Im Starting work early tomorrow. I have to be there at 8 am, So I stayed home and Mark went to watch the Super Bowl over his friends house in miller place, I wasn't in the mood to watch the super bowl this year. I had no interest.

I didn't do much this weekend. so there is not much to report, Except for seeing my mom and my aunt in the Bronx on Friday, I had off from work and went down to visit and we went out for dinner, and it was a great. one my favorite places in the bronx . Italian of corse and the name of the place was Patricia's. When I use to live with my mom and dad I was there every weekend with my friends, don't know how I am not a million pounds from all the past nights of eating all the pasta and desert. But it was a great time, And I can wait to do it again. Have a great week every one.

One tag on.

I can't get the colors of the hat right on this camera. The colors are so much more vibrant in person. I really have to read up on this camera to get better quality pictures. Or it may be the lighting in this house!

But the tag looks good.

Woven tags. What do ya think?

So friggin cool. I ordered these 7 weeks ago and they suprised me today in the mail.

They are so my style. Now I have to play and sew 0ne on the hat I made.

Too Cool !

Baby blanket.

Got really far on the baby blanket for my friend danielle at work. she is due in may so I should be done by then. It's very quick knitting.

So I felt a little better this morning

Just enough to go to grannys, and spend not too much $. Got a lot for my buck. I got some Plymouth Geisha In pink and blue to make an awesome baby blanket with a heart in the middle of it. And some free patterns in the free pattern bin. Also some trekking that everyone is going crazy over. I might cast on for some socks tonight. Totally against my wishes to start another project. Also got some buttons, and also 10 balls of vento that I was eyeing the last time I was there and granny gave them to me for 1 buck each that's also going to be a baby blanket. And I got a clear Chibi with gold needles. And every thing was a percentage off. I was so happy going home.

So as I was heading home I knew I had some laundry to do, so I did. So that I didn't have to do it tomorrow, instead I can stay home and knit and get some projects done. Came home afterwards and sat down and casted on for one of the baby blankets. Im so done I don't think it was a great idea to shower and run out, I was sweating all day I felt like I had a fever still but I had to get out and get the laundry done oh and also get over to the grannys sale. Im good for now and very content.

Knitting

Sorry I couldnt show you my face in this picture because I look like death. So all you get is some knitting action.

Yes I was knitting to my hearts content.

Can you tell im bored

A weird picture, You cant really see the yarn but to the right is the knitting corner, not sure who's blog I was reading at the time. I think I need to take photography lessons.

COLORS COLORS COLORS !!!!

My favorite yarn in the whole wide world. NoRo Kureyon. I want to make a hat with it with a little flower on top. I have it all set up in my mind, but I don't want to start another project yet. Please knitting gods don't let me do it. Don't let me start another project.

Sick Again

Im friggin sick again. But this time its the flu. So for those of you who were wondering where I was last night. I came home from work at 3 with a 100.7 fever and I passed out on the couch. I was so tempted to come to SnB last night but I couldn't get off the couch. And Im still on the couch this morning. I've done lots of knitting in between taking tylenol and blowing my nose every two seconds. Im working on the cable sweater from vintage knits. I started on the front now and Im almost done with the sleeves. I cant wait to finish. I know I keep saying that, But it takes a while to knit on smaller needles. I was very tempted to get out and swing by grannys today to catch her sale but I sill have the chills. And if I did go, I want to go there with a pattern in mind, but then I was convincing myself that I don't need any yarn and to make due with what I have. I have to figure it out. I come to terms with myself that I have a yarn buying problem and I have no self control. Ahhhhh! Any way this was just a quick post wanted to let everyone know where I was and how im suffering with this Friggin flu, I hate being sick. The only thing good about being sick is you get to stay home and knit your ass off.

Just a little update on the neck warmer. I think I finally got it. All it is is time and effort, and a lot of help from my knitting friends. Like Dani and Efrat. Thanks guys for all the help. Im almost done.

Quick post

What a crazy day at work, Or shall I say 2 hours at work. The power went out and he was in the middle of a root canal, Which the first thing in my head was yea!! I get to go home. But at first he was trying to see if he can fix it, looking nerdly at the fuse box "hehehehe!" Any way turns out that a transformer blew and lipa was coming around to it soon and that he was on the waiting list. So I went home yeeeaaaaa! I was happy, I get some knitting time in the middle of the day which is unusal theses days.

So I ran to the store to pick up some ingredients for a nice pot of chili. And Now im posting. wooo hoooo!!!!

Knitting: I am still working on the entrelac squares neck warmer thing. I was stumped for a little while but got right back on the horse. but again I screwed up. I have to re-evaluate. I did recently get the rowans treasury of knits, it's ok there are some things I would like to make in it, so im gonna try to make it with some of my stash, I have to use some of it. and I came to the conclusion that I am not buying any more yarn I have enough, I just cant do it, I really have to try to use up some of it or at least make a dent in it some how.

I really dont have much to report, Although I have been reading the book that stephanie my Last SP gave me, It is such a great book about knitting stories and all that good stuff, And I didn't even realize that she wrote inside of it. It was such a nice message that I will forever keep that book. I didnt even think to write in her book I gave to her. Im sorry stephanie!!

Untill next post!

Entrlac squares "Ahhhhhh!"

It's Driving me crazy. As im going along it looks worng but im not sure. I am totally retarted when it comes to these instructions. I don't know whats wrong with me. But the colors are awesome. The yarn im using is Magallanes From KFI in color number 302.

Vintage cable sweater

I started this a while ago. it is the sarah dallas vintage knits. I just pulled it down from the attic last week and been working on it ever since. I love doing Cables It's very cool. I finished the back and Im almost done with the sleeves and then of corse the front.
