This Lady Knits

I just realized that not only has it been a while since I blogged, but it’s been a month and a half!  Where does the time go.  Since i haven’t taken any pictures of anything lately, this will be a pic free post.  Pretty much a hey I’m still alive post!

So what have I been up to, well not much on the knitting front, only FO i have to show for anything is a pair of socks, Catoptrical (Ravelry link), for serveral months. What’s new in my house, well there is a lot of that, I really need to take some pics.  A while ago (ok, so that was at the end of May early June) I bought a Baby Wolf (Yup it’s a picture of my loom, but not in my house and not my picture) a weaving loom, not a real wolf, wouldn’t have anyplace to keep a real one.  So I took a weaving class, which led to buying a table loom as well.  DH picked me up another wheel, an Ashford Joy, which brings my wheel collectiong back up to 6 (Matchless, the Victoria, the Rose, Pocket, a Little Gem, and now the Joy).  Oh yeah, can’t foget the Bosworth Charkha or the Fricke E-spinner.  Yes I’ve been busy collecting tools.

So there has been lots of spinning, I still am buried by bobbins full of singles that need to be plied, I just need to take a weekend and ply ply ply.  Some of weaving lately, mostly samples for class, but I did manage to weave a rug and a scarf and now there is a table runner on the table loom .  There has been some knitting, mostly casting on, very little finishing.  My Everyday cardigan that I cast on on the 1/1/08, well the body is done, the sleeeves are done, shoulders are seamed and there is even 1 sleeve pinned on to the body, I just really need to finish that sweater, it’s so close. 

Oh well, I’m still alive and breathing, hoping to take some pics over the course of the 3 day weekend, but no promises, but i will try.
