This Lady Knits

I’m still waiting for the final background checks to come through, so I still don’t know when I’m going to start my new job, it could be any minute now or Monday. So while I sit here waiting for the phone to ring, actually it’s my cell phone I’m waiting to hear news on, [...]

Things are bowling along so quickly to get me on the job and started. I went into an orientation today, apparently you can now consider me oriented. Those that are in the know are probably laughing about now, half the time the only way I know which way is up is because of [...]

I’m leaving the ranks of full time knitter to go into the work force starting Wed or Thursday of next week. I got an email from my recruiter Wed night when I got home from SnB with a position that is eerily similar to my last position, before I left CA. I replied [...]

I just got an email saying that I did make it to Round 3 of the Knit off. Don’t know how I managed that but apparently the time stamps on the email proved me to be the winner of the round, though I was certain I didn’t win it.
Now because I didn’t think I won, [...]

No I didn’t win the round and move to the next round in the Knit Off but there has been some luck in my day today.
I did win the Lottery…that is the lottery to be in Scout’s Indie Club. Money has been spent and I will be waiting with baited breath to see [...]

With the amount of time I’ve been spinning lately, no wonder I have no knitting progress to report.
The latest off my wheel.

Both pics are of the same skein, I couldn’t decide which background showed off the colors better, it’s a very pastelly skein.
Fiber: Optim – a sheer joy to spin, very soft very easy [...]

It’s not likely that I actually won this round of the Knit Off and more than likely I’m out of it. My alarm clock failed me this morning! By the time I got up and checked for the pattern it was almost noon, and I rarely sleep past 7 am. Knitting time [...]

Just wanted to let you know I did make it to Round 2 of the Knit Off and that starts tomorrow.  Current line up has 16 knitters, 8 groups of 2, first one done goes to Round 3.  Pattern will be posted sometime in the middle of the night, so I’ll be knitting first thing [...]

I finally have all the yarn for my next sweater project, you’re looking at 22 skeins of Dalgarn Heilo in 4 different colors. Once I clear out at least 1 of the 1 sweaters currently OTN, I can cast on for my first Dale. All that wooly good ness is sitting on my [...]

Thelma reluctantly volunteered (Mommy made me do it) to help show off this finished pair of socks.

“Wha-what are you doing to me Mommy?”

“Ok, but I’m not going to sit still for this”
Pattern: Generic toe up pattern with a 2X2 rib going up the top of the foot and the leg.
Needles: Addi Turbo’s #1’s, magic [...]
