Project Spectrum is ongoing.

Okay, okay, I know that I haven't been that dilligent in my posting this past month, but when I couldn't post pictures, it drove me nuts. I, however have been knitting and as of last night I made a stocking cap in one evening, that's right, ME! I can't believe how much I have grown as a knitter, and all of the blogs I have visited and borrowed ideas from. As a matter of fact, I made my stocking cap on PINK needles, thank you, but it is actually for my Dad, so we won't tell him about the girly aspects, but as I was saying, I borrowed the basic pattern for my hat from almost felted, I will tryto insert a link to her website later, but my baby is sleeping next to my pattern book. I am mostly done on my lace leaf pullover too, except for the sleeves, and sewing together. This pattern flies.All right I can't upload photos again... nevermind.

Here she is:

Oh wait, I mean here it is. I went outside to get a good shot of it.

TaDa!!!!

A finished placket neck pullover made of 2 skeins lion brand cotton ease on #7 needles, in the size 1-2 with the 2-4 yr measurements, and the button bands to the side. Now I get to move on to the the lace leaf pullover in lion brand thick and quick cranberry color, for

Almost done...

Finally! I can't believe after two weeks that I can finally post pictures. I wonder what made the difference, or if they were working on the website or some thing. Anyhoo, I am almost done with the placket neck pullover, eith one adaptation, I put the button bands on the side of the front placket, you will have to wait to see.

I have been knitting, I promise, just trust me.

We returned home safely today from the hospital after my daughters' tonsilectomy. Sometimes I am glad I am a pack rat. I did not have to go to the pharmacy because I had the medicine that they prescribed for pain already in the cabinet from an ear infection last fall. I did not get to knit at the hospital the way I thought I would, the whole thing took all of about 40 minutes, surgery and recovery together. I first went to get something to eat. I did not eat this morning because I did not think it would be fair to a two year old that she could not have any of the food in the kitchen. So, I waited 'til the last minute and got her up and gave her a bath and off we went after getting the baby together as well. It did not affect her at all, she was up screaming and yelling and having a good ol' time two hours later. Her appetite increased I think. She had a plate of macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, and some other stuff, and then she had a cheeseburger, and then she had another plate of macaroni and cheese, and sweet potatoes, and asparagus. Believe it or not, the asparagus is always the first thing to be eaten. So, as follows are some gratuitous pics of my babies....or maybe not, for the past two days, I have been having problems uploading my photos to blogger, I don't know why, but for now, no photos I guess.

No Knittin' Content....

Okay, I am going to rant a little bit, the children in my house have been sick for a couple of weeks, just when they were getting over everything, they went to the doctor and picked up another virus from the doctor office. I have been busy, and tomorrow my daughter gets her tonsils taken out. Well, I am a director of a daycare center, and today we had a staff meeting. That means I am at work. I was not home to answer the phone about my daughter's surgery. No, I do not want forty people there, but am I avoiding telling them? No. They accused me in a message left at the house while I was at work of avoiding them. Am I avoiding the whole lot of them.......Seriously thinking about it now....no. But they sure do know how to upset a person though. Okay I feel better. I should have a picture to post tomorrow with my new camera, of the placket sweater from last minute knitted gifts.
