more of the same..

Abby is modeling a hat her mom is knitting.. she's not using a pattern.. the yarn is some left overs that I had spun a few years back (merino/silk) held together with one strand of rowan's kid silk haze... it's so soft....
















I'm an inch away from the armholes on my baby sleep sacque... I'm still feeling under the weather and have just been knitting and going to work and trying to make it through each day...
Maybe I'll watch some hulu halloween!!!
I've just about given up on deciding who is the better man for the job... maybe I'll go with Ralph Nader..!!

brain fog

I'm was feeling a little better and went to work for 2 days.. but now I'm feeling the consequences of that decision.. I feel weak again and just not myself.. the cold weather isn't helping either.. I have brain fog today... oo no.... I'm still undecided as far as who to vote for.. the more I hear the more undecided I become... so before work today I'm looking over my ballot again and getting in a few more hours of knitting.. maybe I'll feel better later.. maybe my brain fog will lift..(^_^)

man I started another project!!

Well... after I realized that my other baby project was way too big.. and would probably be used when the baby was about 9 months old haha... I decided to make the Modernisth stripe sleep sacque instead..it kind of looks like a hat at this point. The yarn is from various yarn in my stash.. most of it is patons classic wool merino and the rest is phildar lenox and lenox superwash... What you see in the picture was knit this afternoon.. I came down with what I think might be the flu.. or a really bad cold... I felt so bad yesterday that I couldn't even think of knitting and had to call out from work.. today was my scheduled day off and I'm hoping that by tomorrow I will feel a lot better and my nose will stop running my life and the sneezing fits will stop.. !!

Just not right

I have been working on another baby sweater.. and got this far and realized that it will be way too big for a newborn... so I'm doing something I usually never do and I'm putting it aside to finish at a later date ... and now I'm hunting around for more of a layette type sweater.. I have some really old phildar baby knitting books(and yarn).. maybe I'll go vintage... There is definitely enough yarn here to knit with in just the right baby colors.. I can probably make baby gifts for quite a few babies without ever leaving the house..!!!

sneak a peek @_@..!!

I live in Florida now.. but I was born in NYC and some of my family still live up north... My grandpa was a hardened yankee fan.. and he took my brother to see the yankees play in the old yankee stadium when he was a boy.. I'm posting these pictures for him...(my son took the pictures while at work).. a sneak peek.. just for u Rich..!!... And I love this picture of the Bronx sky line..!!

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.. (^_^)
