My Current Projects

Ok, so I was working on my knitting tonight and noticed that

A: I have a TON of projects that I haven't shared progress on with my blog readers....

and

B: None of the things I took pics of are things that I was working on before and need to update, lmao. It's all new stuff that you all haven't even seen before.


I promise to get more pics of the items you all have already seen and let you see some progress...and I will just be totally honest here and let you all know that I haven't picked up my halter top I'm working on since I moved it to take pics in the blog entry I put in here about a month ago. I dont know what the problem is but I guess I just lost interest there for awhile. I'm going to start working on it more asap! I really want to wear it this summer!

So here are the projects that I am currently working on that will be the"halter tops" of tomorrow (hehe):

These are baby socks for my friend Brianne. She's pregnant right now with her second child...a boy and she already has a girl so she is very excited. I am happy for her too and I intend to get sock 2 done tomorrow or the next day so I can get these in the mail.





This is a sock for MEEEEEEEEEE! I'm excited. Mostly I just want to get these hammered out so I can start a pair using the yummy yarn from my SP10 pal! You all know you drooled on your keyboards when I posted the pic of that yarn, LMAO! They are made of KnitPicks Simple Stripes in the Tropical Colorway and that yarn has sadly been discontinued :(






Ok, so I need to go and get to work on the second baby sock...I have it cast on and the first round done so I really cant even call myself a slacker! WooHoo! Bri might just get these baby socks soon!







Talk to you all soon!

Look What I Want!

So, thanks to my SP10 pal, I'm addicted to the yarn harlot books, lmao.

She apparently has a new book out called Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Casts Off. I want it terribly, lmao. Hopefully I can get it around the end of this month. Until then this knitter is BROKE!

Yes, that means no new yarn, no notions, no nothing :( *cries*

Wish my luck and send the money fairy my way. Till later all.........

SP10

Yesterday I went to my door to go check my mail and was SO excited to see my first package from my secret pal in my door. YAY!

I took it right inside...forget the rest of the mail, that can wait, lol! My son was yelling "open it mommy" so...I had to do what he said ;)

Inside I found this:




WooHoo! Presents! LOL. My son decided that it was my birthday after seeing the presents and started singing Happy Birthday and asked me where my birthday cake was, lol.

After opening my presents this is what I came across:


1 skein of Anne Schaefer yarn in the Hot Shot colorway (YUMMY!), a bottle of lavender bath salts, Clover knitting needle holders, and Knitting Rules! by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.

Do you think I'm excited? Hello?! Yes! Thanks SO much secret pal, you rock! Now off to find a pattern for this lovely yarn. I've been looking for patterns since I opened the package looking for the PERFECT one. If you have any suggestions please feel free to post!
