another fo........


I guess I don't talk that much about my life, so here goes, I have been gone a lot from work the past two weeks, with two sick children, and so to "earn" my salary, I knit the baby afghan my boss wanted. I didn't have to, but I thought it was a good thought. It will cheer her up a little, and not only that, I missed pay day, and she did not have enough money to pay me my full salary. I will get it I know, but I can't hardly live like this forever. I need to find a work from home job or something. Anyhow, the baby blanket was in acrylic yarn *gasp!* I know, but sometimes it is practical. It is in Simply soft by Caron Yarns, for a boy of course. My kids are better now, and so I will be back at work tomorrow, it should make things a little more relaxed with one less thing on my boss's mind. I will post pictures of my kids later, when there are at 100%, they still look a little tired.

enough....



Sometimes I actually have to wonder if I have a suicide wish, I have so many things to do, on top of going to work and being a Mom. I would like to finish my angelina, but it is taking so long, I have been working on it FOREVER...maybe this is why I have not seen a finished one on the internet yet. Anyhow, I finished a baby quilt, and I am also working on a scarf for a guy, that has cables. It is for a friend that does not have a heater in his vehicle. Sorry, no pictures yet, and I really am going to have to figure out what the deal is with my camera. All the pictures keep getting fuzzier and fuzzier. I think my picture card is getting worn out or something. Oh well, I am going to get a new camera soon. If anyone has finished the Angelina, I would love to see some photos for inspiration.....

Progress....


My DD has ben sick and so I have been knitting by her side during the night. I am a much slower knitter than most of the ones I have seen in cyberspace, and so if it doesn't look like much, sorry. This is 4 hours worth of knitting for me, and I am halfway done with the length of the body of the sweater. It is the sweater from last minute knitted gifts I am knitting the size 2-4 sweater in lion brand cotton ease using the stich counts for the size 1-2 yr olds. AS it turned out the yarn was much bigger than I anticipated, but it might be perfect after all. I forget my kids are growing up.....

busy....




Well, I know I have not posted lately, but I have been working. I sewed a purse and wallet for myself, made a pair of the baby slippers from the last minute knitted gift book, and I finished the sweater for my son.
