Pictures???? What pictures....???

Well, I finally got my pictures loaded into flickr. Unfortunately for me, I am not nearly as computer and internet savvy as I used to be and haven't quite figured out how to link my pictures to my blog. I'm working on it though and hopefully I can either figure it out or become really humble and realize that I need to ask someone for help.....

Aaaack.....

I just got it in the mail!!! FOUR...yes kids, I said FOUR skeins of Gossamer Lace Weight yarn from Knitpicks in colorway Sweet Pea. Oh my...it is mucho lovely!!!

I just can't wait to put it on the needles. I am completely in love with the idea of a lace shawl, but now that the yarn is here...I can't decide if i want to knit Fan & Feather or the Regina Juno patter from knitty.

Nor can I decide whether to use my addi turbos or to use my Options (so that I can change cable length if I need to). Again, this leads me to think....AAACCCKKKK!!!!

What ever is a girl to do with all these choices and options at her finger tips...

YAY!!! SnB...

I have to say...I positively love, love, love when I get to go to Sunday Stitch & Bitch. There is probably nothing in the world that makes me happier these days. I think it is one of the few groups of people that I feel comfortable chatting with about anything and everything and I don't feel the slightest bit awkward about the fact that I am knitting the entire time I am around them. ROCK ON!!!

So, there was an "odd weekend" S&B this past Sunday. Was the first weekend we have tried on an odd weekend, and we even opted for a northern location at Cafe Brazil as a switch. For those of you who don't already know, this is like handing out crack to an addict, when it comes to me. I was there early and if I hadn't had a prior engagement that couldn't not be canceled or avoided I would have been the last person sitting around the table.

I was really glad to see that so many people decided to show up and share in the fun. Made for a very happy, happy day.

The kniitting goes on forever and the party never ends....

Alrighty, so it has been a while since I have blogged. A few things have changed and projects have been started and finished since the last time I blogged. Still no pictures as of yet, I keep procrastinating about this, but I know that sooner or later I will get around to it...cuz by lord knows I really am proud of some of the things I have knitted.

I guess I will just rattle off the current progress of my projects...whether they are on needles or not. I have finished the "market bag" I was working on, it has since been felted and turned in to the current project tote that I keep with me like a small security blanket o'knitting at all times. For some reason I feel better knowing that there is knitting within arms reach at all times.

Anyway, I digress. I am still working on the knee-highs for me. The soxx appeal socks that were originally for "the guy" (who is the guy no more) have since been renamed the Best Friend Socks...because who better to give a pair of hand knitted socks than my best friend (sister in another life) in the entire world, who is also a knitter. At least I know she will have a sense of appreciation for these socks and won't discount the hours of work I have put into these bad boys. Luckily for me, they fit her foot for the most part....this means no froggin' for me.

I think the most ironic part of these socks has to be the fact that as soon as I had knitted the last stitch on the first heel I have ever turned in my life, the jackass for whom they were originally intended broke up with me!!!!

Well, anyway....lesson learned.....NEXT!!!!

In the completed department, there would be a pair of Malabrigo Wrist Warmers based on the pattern for wrist warmers out the "Last Minute Knits" book. I modified them slightly to leave out the thumb hole and instead of doing 2 repeats of the patter below the wrist I did 3, along with a picot bind off for the top edging. I couldn't bring myself to waste a single inch of this yarn, I have so much love for this yarn it goes beyond description. Lord only knows what I am ever gonna do with the ball of "Paris Night" that is now sitting all alone in my stash.

I have also got a set of these wrist warmers in Noro Kureyon, one is off of the needles and the second one is just waiting anxiously for the bind off. Gonna get that done on Tuesday at Knit Night. I really do need to get pictures of these, simply for the fact that the color is positively WONDERFUL!!!

I could have sworn that I had finished more projects that this, but I guess I was wrong. I do have quite a few in the works though, other than the socks that are in various stages of finish.

Just today, I started a fan and feather shawl/wrap out of some King Tut Egyptian Cotton yarn that I have been trying to decide what to do with ever since I frogged it a few months back. Figure that is as good a yarn as any to turn into something for the summer with a pattern that I have never tried before.

Also, thought that working it in the cotton would be good practice for when the FOUR skeins of knitpicks lace weight yarn arrives sometime this week. I am fairly certain it won't take long before it is on the needles and in my grubby little hands.
