something new..

I started something new yesterday and will give the details in a day or two..when ever I get the energy... while I was knitting I watched some episodes of Kath and Kim on hulu.com.. and the premiere episode of Crusoe .. I thought it pretty entertaining.. Kath and Kim was just silly.. sometimes you need .. just silly..!!
















Fallen leaves....

blocking!!

It's finished and blocking.. I took these picture late in the afternoon when the sun was hitting this room so the color looks a little washed out.. it turned out a little bigger than I thought it would.. you really can't tell what size it will be all squished up on the needles... and right now it is all pinned and stretched out and I'm just letting it dry..































So beautiful... pictures of autumn... that's my niece... hiking in NY.. (^_^)

today might be the day!!

Woo hoo.. today might be the day that I finish the hemlock ring.. the cast off is very time consuming but very pretty and worth it.. yesterday I watched a few terrible movies on hulu.com while knitting.. maybe I can find a few more to watch today.. I'm excited about finishing this today so I can start working on something else..that shouldn't be a problem since my queue on ravelry is gigantic.. I do have a few unfinished projects too that I could work on.. and more baby gifts.. humm...

have u noticed!!

Have you noticed lately that you can find knit wear in the stores that look almost exactly like patterns found on ravelry..!!!...
(Grace lace beret)(moss stitch beret)(star crossed slouchy beret)(headband with flower)
(rose wrist warmers)..hummm ..














































Hemlock update.. I'm now on row 97 in which at the end of I will have 472 stitches... maybe I will bind off at row 102..

family!!

The honeymoon was a success..they really enjoyed them selves and came home with lots of great pictures to remember it by..everything is kind of getting back to normal every day now... I worked some shifts at both of my jobs...Michaels and DSW..some how I'm trying to get enough hours from both jobs to equal almost full time.. hummm... if that is possible.. I had yesterday off in which I actually put in some knitting time.. I am now on row 94 of my hemlock ring blanket. It's really hard to see how big it is because it's all squished up on the needles.. and I'm not sure at this point how much bigger I should make it.. time to check out ravelry and see how many rows everyone completed.. what would we do without ravelry..!!





















Since this is my knitting blog.. I like to post mostly knit related topics...but today I will deviate a little.. as some of you know I do have children of which I love very much and of course I'm very proud of... they are not doctors..lawyers or indian chiefs.. but I'm proud of each of them just for the people they have become.... so..
This is a picture of one of my sons at work...so exciting... cuting through metal..
















and more work..hum .. could that be NYC or some where..
















OOO and a picture of my other son... lounging and enjoying a day in Seattle...(sure do wish I was there too!!)

round and round everything is round!!

I don't think that I ever posted a picture of my razor cami completed... probably because I never did get a good picture of it...This is about the best picture I have.. I was hoping to get some better ones... it never did happen so here it is..
















It seems that everything I'm making right now is round.. and is knit or crocheted in a circle.. hummm... well here is the latest picture of the hemlock ring.... it's going very slowly and is now divided between 3 circular needles...so many needles !!! It's a good thing Michaels had a 50% off coupon... I might need at least one more before I finish.. what is one to do with 5 size 10 1/2 circular needles... 0.0....
















I started a little girls crochet sweater called Circle in the Round.. hum.. I saw this on ravelry and needed a diversion from my hemlock ring.. I'm using sock yarn and a size E crochet hook .. which is rather hard to find for some reason (some how mine disapeared)... any way it's starting to get ruffly around the edges and I'm not sure it's supposed to do that..

OOO baby...

Yes.. here I am... babysitting a 22 month old.. he is so busy all the time... and his little motor just keeps on running and running.. on the other hand... my motor is all pooped out.. he also eats non stop..!!! Just keeping the food going is enough to poop you out.. OOO it's almost 1pm.. nap time!!!
I think I need a nap too..


































There has been just a little progress on my hemlock ring throw.. just a little. I've reached row 80.. and I'm not sure how many rows I will do. At this point it's not very big... and since I have only worked on hemlock ring in the last few weeks with very little progress.. I'm getting the itch to make socks.. and my sock stash sitting right next to me in a little container... calling my name..I don't know if I can hold out.. 0.0
