Stitch-n-bitch report 1

Hello! Ok, no pics in this post-mainly because, well, the pictures are still in my camera-I have to download them, edit them, then upload them... I'll get around to posting them though-at least I hope I will! ;)

The stitch-n-bitch was alot of fun! We 'grazed' on snacks, worked on our projects, sent Dawn's husband out for pizza, then watched a couple of movies while working on some of our projects. We had 1 knitter, 2 crocheters, 2 cross-stitchers, and 1 person who was learning to crochet. (hey, we aren't picky about what you stitch! ;) ) So far, at these gatherings, I always seem to be in the minority. LOL. Even the kitties and the dog got into things (literally got into things.) ;)

I started an afghan for myself and worked on T's scarf. For some reason, the kitties really liked my needles and yarn, and no one else's. Why is that? LOL. Kim finished a baby blanket she was working on for a friend-it's really cute! I must get those pictures up. A couple of days later, Kim and I were talking about trying to make this a regular thing-maybe once a month, or once every two months at least (since we all seem to be very busy-but hopefully we'll be able to work something out). Perseph, we missed you! We hope you can make it to the next one. :) :)
-------------------------

I've also started working on a prayer shawl for my Mom-I'm using a snowflake pattern that I really liked in the little pattern book I have. I'm using the yarn I bought from Patternworks last year-it feels so good! I really like working with cotton and cotton blends. :)

Perseph and I are going to a stitch-n-bitch that's being hosted in a yarn store on April 6th-I've forgotten the name of the store, but Perseph knows where it is, and since she's the driver, it's all good. ;) We can't wait!

TAFN...

checklist...

1. Block scarf *check*
2. Take pictures of scarf *check*
3. Download pictures from camera to computer hmmmm...

Kyle's scarf is finished! Blocked and ready to go! Yay! Now I just need to finish T's scarf so I can send them to my sister.

Still haven't decided what I'm going to work on at Saturday's Stitch-n-Bitch. 4 days to go...

Knitting into spring...

What kind of knitting needles are you?

You are plastic.Futuristic, milky, and silky, you are willing to go where no crafter has gone before. You can do just about anything, with strength agility, and pretty colors to boot! While you are good at slipping and sliding out of sticky situations, remember to stay where and when you are needed. Don't overdo it on star gazing when there's earthbound knitting to be done!

I still need to block Kyle's scarf-I'll probably try to do that tonight, and while it's blocking, I'll take some pictures. :)

I have an idea of what I want to work on at Saturday's stitch-n-bitch...well, ok, I have it narrowed down to three things: Rustic Panels afghan, snowflake prayer shawl, or an afghan for myself...if I can settle on a pattern. LOL. There's a big Red Heart yarn sale at JoAnn's this week that Perseph and I are going to try to hit. I'm also going to make use of my 40% off coupons-I need a couple of circular needles for some of my future projects. :-D

Hey, I finally finished Kyle's scarf!!! Now I just have to block it-I'll try to take some pictures while it's blocking. Now I just have to finish T's scarf, and all will be right with the world. ;)

My friend Kim is hosting a stitch-n-bitch next week, and I'm very excited. Not only will pals Perseph and Alicia be there, but I'll get to meet some of Kim's friends from work who are into knitting and crocheting. I'll bring my camera-'cause I'm sure there will be some amazing photo opportunities with her two cats, Cleo and Sweetums. They love the yarn and needles! ;) I haven't decided what I'll work on (hopefully I'll be finished with T's scarf before then). I might start an afghan for my sister, or work on a shawl for my mom. Or, I might just be selfish and work on something for me. ;) Or, I could work on something from my UFO box. *heehee*

I had been checking out various free issues of knitting magazines to see if subscribing to one would be worth it. I decided to give Creative Knitting a try-I'm so exicted-my subscription is for two years, plus I'll be getting a pocket guide to knitting as a free gift. Sweet!
