even more

All right i did it i started a new project a pair of socks on two circular needles. It's a little different than the double points that i usually use. They are a liile easier than dpns when you just start out but if your using needles that still have thier curl in them it is impossible, you have to wrestle with them all the way. My recomendation is to buy used ones if at all possible.

The knit and crocheted shawl that i'm making(my parnents say this is a triangular european shoulder blanket, but i think that this is a lot to type so i will abrviate it tesb)i'm a little worried about the yarn on this but i will continue to drudge on and if God forbid i run out of yarn i will hope that sally(that is the name of the old lady that owns my Lys, luckly it is called Sally's shop) has some more.

knitting

Sorry about my lack of blogage but i'm dealing with slow computers and shaky internet connections this blog thing is getting harder to keep up with.

Anywho i'm knitting up a storm over here. my blanket is done and the ends wovwen in, it is quite warm. I started a sock made out of a combination of rayon and flax, it is knittied on size 00 needles. I put this one down because i realized that i would go nuts if i kept this up so i put it into the dead projects box. Tinking what with my new coat and all i deserved a new scarf so i found this fabouls yarn, it is a real tealy blue and is 50% wool and 50% acrillic it is knit2 pur2 ribbing and goes down to my knees.

He's back!!

All right here i am with my own computer again so lets take a look at the knitting that i've finished up with all my newly found free time.
The afgan is done, there i said it, this afgan, large enough for a grown man, only took about 6 weeks can you belive it, i can't.
I made a pair of mittens, they are red and acrillic and warm, i know that because i had to shovel the drive way the next day.
So i celebration of all this WIP reduction i decided i was worth a new pair of handknit socks os i started a pair of socks, they are knit on size 00 needles and are made out of a combination of linen and rayon. Wish me a look.
New books i have boughtin, i got a book called 20 Patterns for Men by Erica Knight, i like this book it has lots of classic mens desighns with some new ideas which look fabouluos.
New yarn i got at goodwill, i found two skeins of black cotton, two hanks of craft and rug which i will use to finish a rug, and some chrochet cotton that i can use for scribble lace.

Back to knitting

All right lets get down to business and get back to knitting.still chugging through the afgan, i call this one modern art, i coplain a lot about the project but in al reality it is flying by, i started this blanket on November 24th and i am now two-thirds done, and you have to figure that in this time i made the belinda wrap from Mason-Dixon Knitting outside the lines, a small rug, and my yearly gift knitting extrvaganza, so in the grand scheme of things it is not taking all that long at all. Last week a started the Pub Crawler from Debbie Stoller's Son of a Sitch 'n' Bitch and i told myself that i can't work on it until i finish Modern art which is so dissappointing because it is a dreamy cable fest and i'm almost to the armhole shaping. The crocheted shawl that i starteed in a foolish moment several monthes ago it is now my upstairs project and with any luck i will be finished by the next century.

love,
