He's Back!

Sorry I't been over a month since my last post. It seems like when I fail to blog, I get more writing done, when I fail to write, I get more reading done, if I read less than I play solitare more. You know I hate computer Solitare, but I love to shuffle and deal out the cards myself. Its one of my little quirks.

I have a lot of knitting to talk about, I started an afgan for two people about three people. Hoe far do you think I'm done, a quarter, half way?
AAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN'TTT!!!!!!!! Wrong! I am two thirds of the way done and motering along.

This blanket is a log cabin dandie that is big enough for one person to sleep under. It is going to be three log cabin squares by three log cabin squares, so this should give you an idea of how big it is. I finished the first two rows of the afgan and instead of working the squares one by one I decided to fit all three on the circs that I was using. So now when I finish the square, all I have to do is crochet them all together, then wheave in the end and make a quik I-cord border. Wish me luck!

A little ahead

A little is a bit of a strech, but I am ahead. I finished the back and one of the fronts of the sweater that I am knitting fom Son of A Stich 'n' Bitch. It's the Pub Crawler, I know that this sweater is not a cardiagan but I wanted a cardigan, so I am turning it into one.

I did a shawlette that was made up in my head. This actully had been done for a while, before I went down to Bryans, I just put of yakking about it. You how it is.

Started another shawl. This one is the Dummy Clap shawl, look on ravelry. Preety boring, just stokingette until you get all exiting in the bing off row. There you get to drop stitches, on purpose. Did you just get chills, because I did. But seriously this thing is very artful and easy as pie, a nice rest from managing the cable reapeats of the Pub Crawler.

What I Knit

Got back from a vist at Brian and Kathys over the weekend. They're all fine and if you want details email me with your phone number, and I'll give you all the good gossip.

What I knit over the weekend? Ah.... What a question, well its not really a question, I just put a question mark at the end so it will look like one. One would think that I could get tons of knitting done with the four hour car drive( We did it in three hours and forty minutes). Umm....no, I didn't get a lot done, just a couple of squares for an afgan that I started as a way to use up all those leftover bits, you know what I'm talking about. The little ones that are about half an inch thick. The just seem to keep coming at you, always more and more. No matter how many stash bustin scarfs you make they will always be there, just waiting until there are so many of them that they take over the planet and destroy all natural fibers!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe not,

It's just a great way to use up tiny leftover balls of yarn.

I did something!!!

There has been large amouts of knitting up here. I just haven't felt much like yakking about it, i'm just kinda in a rut, try to earm a little money by sending stories and poems and stuff into magazines and after the stuff I researched i learned that writers wages haven't changed much n the past 50 years so ...

I fixed the brim on a hat I made last winter. It was some acrillic that i got at a yard sale, I thought back then that there would be enough of it to do both a hat and scarf, but when I had a to small hat and a to small scarf, so I finally bit the bullet and unraveled the scarf to fix the hat.

I did a whole other hat, This was the two color hat from Knit two together by Tracy Ullman, it was in blue and red so it looks very nice.

A dish cloth

That pair of socks that I started, Lord knows when, these were knit on size 0 needles with the yarn that is left over from the tesb that I made last January(I'm wrapped up in it right now)Well, now i am going to watch this episode of Will and Grace(it's the one they go to see the Sound of Music)and then go enjoy this lovley weather!
