So you want something knitting related>>

I can't understand why, this is a knitting blog. Though I do hope you have been enjoying the music. I hope to share more with you here. I love music, all kinds. whatever it is. I also love sharing new music with people.

Well, I have been very busy knitting lately. I finished the clapotis, just have to weave in the dreaded yarn ends. I am giving this to my aunt Christine. She is pretty fantastic, and also a knitter. I have never knit anything for her. It is crazy, everyone that I show this to instantly has to put it on. It is great. I love it. I had a really great ime knitting this. It was a lot of fun. I have to
the yarn was probably hte best part. I used Plymouth Royal bamboo. I just love the fell. Now, I alsohave to put a disclaimer. It does split easily, and does tend to un-ravel a bit. You have to keep an eye on it while you are working with it. The project is great. I can understand why everyone was done it.




I have also gotten quite a bit of knitting done for my charity knitting. I finished one hat for
Hats for Alex and one chemo hat. I think I will keep the chemo hats local, we have a Ronald McDonald house here in Greenville, so I will probably bring them there.










I am also making really good progress on my first blanket for the Victory Junction Gang
I hope they don't mind the black, but I am hoping that I can make some that will appeal to the boys and the older kids as well.

I think I may sew a fabric back onto this, the yarn isn't super soft, but it works, and it was in-expensive.








Knitting meet-up here in NC has been great. We have all have a chance to start getting to know one another, and we have also had some new people join us each time.

WIP's/FO's

Okay, so I finished a hat (used the garter brimmed hat pattern from LMKG) I used lumpy bumpy from Farmhouse YArns. I also finishe done Calorimetry and I am almost finished with 1/2 of a fetching. Her eis the problem, my hands hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really would like to have 2 pairs of fetching (still trying to decide which yarn I should use for the other) and one more calorimetry.

I will post pictures tomorrow, when I am really playing with my camera taking pictures ofHagrid. I was supposed ot bring him home today, but alass, his foster mom is sick and did not come inot work today.

I have been spending the bulk of hte day watching Next Top Model and SVU, it has been great.

If you are reading htis blog, and think something that has been finished might be for you, well. . . You will just have to wait. I will be posting some finished objects, but you will have to live in suspense until the big day.

Still waiting on word from nutmeg knitter as to the arrival of the little one. I have wagers placed on Sunday, as that is the wedding anniversary.

Okay, back on this planet

So the past few weeks have been, shall I say. . . . Okay, yeah they have been ridiculously busy. A few FO's to show off. First things first.
This is a Harry potter Scarf (DUH) and here it is, pleasantly modeled by my favorite seven year old.
I am really happy with how it came out. Now for the next bit of cuteness.

Be prepared, this is WAY Cute

I know, they are just too cute for words. I made them for my cousin who is due in April. Can't wait to see these on the little one.

Okay, now for the really big news, the theatreknitter is joining the ranks of pet owners, just check him out.

He is certainly tall (no that is not a short counter)

And totally handsome

And Very curious. He spent a lot of time at this door trying to figure out what was going on behind it. I am hoping to get him Thanksgiving weekend. We shall see. I can't wait. I am really looking forward to it.

Oh, and back on a knitting note. A few weeks back I got home after an OBNOXIOUS day at work, and in my mail box was the coolest package ever.

It is a Yarn Bouquet. It is from knitrella I think. Of course, it was ordered from me by none other than becca It is AWSOME. I think I may even make socks out of it. I found it even cooler that the card was handwritten. It is a bad picture, but I will show it anyway

I won't even bother getting into work right now, it is too hectic to discuss. Just crazy, but hopefully getting better. I promise to post more as the holidays get closer. wish me luck with Hagrid, Oh yeah, that is the cats name. How cool is that. Anyway, I have not officially been approved by the agency yet, so wish me luck.

On The Needles

So I have one finished object, and one on the needles (okay, that doesn't count the afghans, and the calpotis that I have to Frog)

So, I got my camera yesterday (WEEEEEEEEEEE)

Here is the yarn. Is it from Farmhouse Yarns

I can't recall the name of the color, I know it is not wildflowers. I bought it at the barn sale, so it was unmarked. Next time (note to self) bring a note pad, and get all the color names and weights)

Here is is on the needles

I used size sevens. Nothing fancy

And here is it finished.

I will probably add a snap to it. Nothing fancy, Just something to keep it from getting scratched up.

I am also working on something that is SUPER cute

These are the Baby Cargo Pants from knitty

They are really easy, I would highly recommend them. I am just about done. I hope to have them done this weekend. They are for my friend who is due in July. I hope that they will be able to be worn into the fall.

Well, today I am off to work on my Grant for Theatre Management and my calling script for the Runaway bear. Then hopefully I will be able to get the rest of my journal done for Childrens' Theatre. It will be a lot of work, but I would really like to get all of it done today. I would like to take my camera out to play tomorrow. It is so nice to have it.

hope everyone has a blessed Easter.
