New Year New Knitting

Happy 2011. Yes I am finally writing again. There was some quiet Holidays where I spent most of my time missing my family.
There was some knitting, And a burst of Startitus that ended up with a Clapotis, a sweater, Bookmarks, mittens, and an octopus's foot load of socks. I have finished two pair of socks that were on my needles, one pair of wool bedsocks for my DS, and a pair of socks for my DGD.
So I am  also trying to change some habits this year. I am adding a fruit or vegtable to every meal or snack. That is my first change. So far I am doing okay, not perfect, but better than I was. And I am taking that as a win. First time I did not have my f/v I did not slit my wrists or say oh well thats it might as well eat the house. So I am very proud of me.
Today I am off to knit at my LYS and we are doing socks, and mittens. Mittens are new for me. I will let you know how it goes.

Death of a Sweater

The famous sweater that fit is being frogged. It met with a washing machine accident and I finally decided that the only repair was to take it apart and reknit it into something else. Yes I am sad.
On a happier note I went last Saturday to the Kentucky Wool Festival and had a wonderful time. I got the skien of yarn that is so beautiful, it is called Briar Rose and really needs to be knitted up into something pretty for me.
But I have gifts on my needles. A washcloth for a swap, a Christmas Stocking for a contest, and lots of socks. Pictures to follow. As most of these are secret projects it may be a bit.

Back Finally

No Excuses. Just life got in the way. But I am back.
I went to the Kentucky Wool Festival Yesterday and had a blast. My friend and I drove down and rode a bus to the Fest.
We saw animals and wool, lots of food and lots of crafts. And tons of people.
The sky was overcast so it was cool and a great day for walking around.
I got a skein of sock yarn, and will take pictures and post here. I am back and I will be better about posting...Promise.

Saturday

Today I am going to finish my sweater, so I will be back tomorrow with Pictures!!!!!

Terrible Horrible No Good Day

Having a bad day...but expect tomorrow to be better.

SWEATER

Well I read other blogs and see sweaters that seem to be done in no time. Mine on the other had will be done this coming weekend.
At which time I will post pictures and there will be a parade and fireworks...those will likey be for the 4th, but hey, I will take them as happiness over the finishing of the sweater.
I am also going to finish the Clapotis. And then I can go back to knitting sock, which I miss knitting a lot.
And work on my granddaughter blanket.

Too Long

It has been too long since I posted, so here in a nutshell is what I have done.
Did a mystery sock KAL on Ravelry. It was a Cookie A sock and I learned a lot making it. Now I am working on the Sweater, a Clapotis, and another pair of socks.
Outside of that work has picked up. So I have been busy.
So I am going to try to write more. And post some pictures of wips.
