some knitting updates

Wow, I have really ignored this blog this month. WEll, only sort of-I kept saying, 'I need to update RoKnits', but I just never got around to it. ;)

Knitting the past couple of weeks have been slow-I've been too busy trying to get things done around the house. Hopefully that'll change this week. ;) Kim and I have had a couple of Knit/Crochet days since the last time I posted, so it hasn't all been a waste. Kim's kitty, Cleo, loves the knitting needles! You'd think it'd be the yarn that attracts her attention-it does, but so do the needles! LOL. Kim managed to get a picture of her playing with my needles-I should post it soon. In fact, I should post something soon-it's been awhile since I've posted a picture of any of my projects!

Boo's hat is complete, and Mellon's cardigan is coming along. I've started on T's hat. The tassels for the hats are going to be made from JoAnn's Sensations Cello yarn-I want to complete both hats before I work on the scarves, because I'm planning on using a little bit of the Cello yarn for their scarves as well-I want to make sure that I have enough. :) I really need to get started on a couple of other Christmas projects-I have to get on the ball! Christmas is not too far away!

Several projects I'm working on are coming from pattern books that I checked out of the library-library books that are coming up on their maximum renewals. Yikes! On a different note, I received several invitations for a free trial issue of some knitting magazines. Since none of them asked for any account numbers or anything like that, I decided to try 3 of them. One is Creative Knits, but I can't remember the other two right at the moment. I am looking forward to those!

That's it for now-I'm going to try to update my sidebar soon, oh, and before I forget-I've turned on the comment verification option-I'm getting tired of deleting spam comments. (also, it's very disappointing to see that you have a comment, and discover it's only spam!)
