Friday....!

The weeks are flying by with little knitting progress. It proved to be a very stressful week and knitting just wasn't in the scenario.

I have been hunting for the camera all week, still can't find it. Finally called my husband, it is in his truck, I really should have started with him! Tried to print off a bunch of patterns and the printer is only printing some stuff, not all the stuff I need....frustrating!

So, I have no pictures for you and I have no patterns to drool over. Looks like we both are out of luck.

After I post this, I am off to the shop to hang out with my most wonderful friends and enjoy the day.

Big blue is receiving sleeves and the one is looking great...LOL!

I had best get dressed and get a move on.

Rough day....

Frankly, it has been a rough day. How rough, you ask? So rough, that I needed some new Fall Bugga to come my way and so it shall, in approximately, 3 to 5 days! Hope I can hang on that long!

My needles have come to a grinding halt for the moment. I might pick up something tonight, if not, there is always tomorrow.

Over tired and Overwhelmed!

This has been a very busy work week for me and I must admit that I am exhausted. I have begun so many projects in my head that I can barely function. I am but a mere mortal with a family who needs me. Most of my knitting projects are in some form of crisis and I am too tired to care. Went to bed last night feeling like crap and woke up with "my friend". At least that explains my mood and exhaustion.

My goal today is my no means glamorous. I have to go grocery shopping, make a vet appointment for Fresca for some shots, look for some important paperwork that I put somewhere "safe", take a walk and clear my head and then clean out my knitting bags....yes, you ready correctly, bags!! Maybe once everything is neat and tidy, I can then makes sense of my knitting.

I am off to the grocery store....!

Multnomah Again!!!!

Another project completed! This will be a Christmas present for my mother in law.

Big Blue is still a WIP. The sleeve needed to be ripped out because it was too tight.

I am now going to start a special shawl, Holden, for my mother's birthday which is at the end of October and I can say this because she does not read my blog!

Sorry that I haven't blogged in a bit, I have been working alot, and dealing with 3rd grade homework and housework. I promise to be better!

Totally Miscellaneous...

Today was my running around doing errands day that included a trip to the mall to have my glasses tweaked and to look for clothing that is not made for a 20 year old or a person in their 70's...a challenge I dare say. Is wanting pants that actually sit at your natural waist too much to ask for??  Apparently, it is! Clothes shopping is right up there with a root canal minus the Novocaine

Today, the school bus was on time. Since we had the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee drown us quite literally, a bridge that is on the main road we live off of, is no longer there and traffic has been a complete and utter nightmare.

I worked quite a bit last week and I love it! I am working all day tomorrow and Thursday evening and Sunday. Great hours for a mom with a child in school. Getting the child to do his homework is dreadful. I can only pray it gets easier.

I really love TV! I am so looking forward to the new season of Mike & Molly, The Big Bang Theory, The Good Wife, Grey's Anatomy, Law and Order: SVU, Criminal Minds to name just a few. I am not a fan of all the ridiculous so called reality shows.

Okay, well, that's all I have tonight. Maybe I will have an exciting day in the shop tomorrow!

True Blue....

I am trying to stay faithful to Big Blue and get the sleeves done. It is not as exciting as my new love, lace, but I am really going to love the sleeves when they are done and the sweater is just heavenly. I can't wait to wear it.

It's very hard to stay faithful to ONE project.

Big Blue...

As promised, here is the updated picture of Big Blue, still a work in progress!

Those holes are the arm holes. So you basically put this on and flip the fabric and it makes a soft collar. Now mind you, once the sleeves are on, this will be blocked withing an inch of it's life!

So, I knit the circumference and then I joined to the rectangle piece and now I have picked up stitches and am using the magic loop to knit the sleeves.

I want to add that it was 48 degrees this morning and that was the incentive I needed to get the sleeves done. This is the perfect sweater for everyday. I love it!!
