Baby Ezekiel

Okay, as you might remember, I finished this baby sweater about two weeks or so ago, I think. Anyhow, I finally got the buttons sewn on, and I really like it. It is a size two, and my daughter is two, so I had her try it on for size. She likes it so much she wants to keep it. I always seem to procrastinate when it comes to buttons. Oh well, I can't wait much longer, Marsha, the mother of previous said baby, and her husband Scott and her other child that I am very fond of, Malachi, are all moving to the Windy City at the first of the month. I am going to miss her, even if we aren't as vocal as we used to be, I am going to miss swimming and walking and being pregnant with her. We both have our children fairly close together and the last time she got pregnant it was because she wanted to be pregnant with me. Awwwww. They are moving for better opportunities, since she is a nurse and wants to study mid-wifery. Good luck! You will be missed.
My next finished project will be blue. In honor of Project Spectrum.

Finito, Fin, or just plain done.

I have been working on a hat for a week, it seems that I never get my lunch break anymore, so I worked on it last night, and this morning. I have so many other things that I need to work on. I have a Christmas list a mile long. I need to make bigger sweaters for both of my kids, and baby sweaters for three different expectant parents.

Has anyone else seen one of these things? It is called a yarn clam and they sell them at my LYS (when I can get there). I just thought that they were pretty cool and that I should let other people know that they keep your yarn from rolling all over the place and convert and bag that you are carrying into a yarntainer.

I've been Found.

I don't mean in the religious sense, but in the sense that someone from highschool found me on that Classmates site, and they sent me email, but I don't want to talk to them. They were a friend at first, until I realised that he was trying to stalk me, he even asked my parents for permission to move in, so I moved out at 17, along with several other reasons. I told my mom he found me and she thought it was cute. What is she thinking? I have no reason to want to talk to this person, so I won't.
Up next, I have finished assembling my Lace Leaf Pullover. And I really like it, but there are some tragic mistakes. Like, how do you weaving the two ends to a kitchener stitch if there is no side seam? I have 2 mistakes and since I don't have a clue how to fix the, I will embrace them. The front of the sweater is flawless, it is on the back, and under the right arm that I have problems, but you live and learn, and ask help, then grow. I don't think it is so bad considering I never kitchenered anything before in 4 years, and never sewn in a whole sleeve that was already seamed. The picture is a bit warped, but oh well.

Lucky me, I guess.

Both, of my digital cameras seem to be giving me problems. So, I have a fuzzy picture. I still need to sew buttons on, but it is a raglan sweater in size two knit with Lion Brand Woolease in yellow and grey, on size 9 needles. I am almost finished with my Lace Leaf Pullover by Teva Durham. I have to sew the sleeves on. I put it out of my mind for two months, and forgot to finish it. I had the body completely done, and half of the sleeve, and i just got busy. More pictures later. Get this, the X cleaned the inside of my house, the outside with a mop, and mowed my yard. I forgot Father's Day was this weekend. I have three men to buy for, or make things for. We will see how that goes, I need to send a package out for my Dad, he lives in West Virginia, and mail takes forever. Kind of like this post, gotta go.

Time to post!

I have made up my mind, that it is time to post, and I will have several new posts in the near future, because I have a couple of projects finished. I would also like to have a pair of gloves done before the end of hte month, only they do not go in the project spectrum guidelines. My Dad wanted a pair of gloves that had the first finger from the first nuckle up and the thumb from the middle nuckle up exposed. And since he lives in West Virginia, I thought it would be best to make them out of Dale Hauk, which is water resistant. I believe that it is not the only one, but I do know that it is the main ne that advertises. My LYS did not have any blue, so I got cream, and I am going to knit in a band of color, or a pattern of some sort. I finished the yellow and grey baby sweater, but I have no room left on my SD card, and my batteries are almost dead. I will post pics of it next time. I used a pattern off of magknits, but I did not use the heart pattern, and I put stripes in it. There are a few changes that I would make if I were to knit it again, the main one is that it would be so easy to knit the sleeves in the round, so I think I will give it a shot. I have at least two more baby sweaters to make for now, both girl, and both for this winter. I need to make sure that they are not too heavy.
In other news, I applied for an art teaching position in the public school arena, but was too late, however someone I know got it, her daughter used to go to the daycare that I currently manage, and she is a delightful woman who I am glad to lose to, if I have to lose. I have been meaning to write her a letter of congratulations, now she won't have to substitute anymore.
There is a guy at work, that I like, he doesn't actually work there, but has kids that come to our daycare. I think that he is good looking, but other than that I don't know anything else about him. The man is as elusive as a shadow. His kids have been going to the daycare for about three or four months, but I have only had the pleasure of talking to him about twice. I don't like to play games either, or I would make something up, but I think I will never get the chance to date him. I have only been trying to figure him out since I met him, and found out he was divorced.
Life has been busy, putting in applications is unnerving, and trying to make sure all of the details are right. I still need to put in some more. I think I might move if it helps. Teaching is what I want, next to knitting, so I am going to chase my dream. I'm out for now, talk at you later.
