Just a quick note-yes, I'm still here! I haven't been updating this site because I haven't really had the time to knit (or do any other crafty projects) since I moved.
:( Hopefully this will change with the coming of the new year! :)
Once things settle down from the holidays, (and I pull my yarn stash out of storage!) I plan on starting up again. :)

slow progress on the baby blanket
Oooh! another long bout without any posts here. Shoot.
Work on Shanna's baby blanket is coming along...albeit slowly. In fact, the baby came before the blanket was finished! (well, i sorta expected that to happen)
Welcome, Isabella!!! Your blanket should be ready by Christmas!!! :)
Must post pictures of it's progress. Despite the fact that it's coming along slowly, I'm really quite happy with the way it's turning out. The lace pattern isn't too bad, once you get the hang of it. ;)

baby blanket update
Just a brief update!!
I've been working on Shanna's baby blanket-i've finished the lower borders-both the lace and the slip-stitch. Didn't have too much trouble with the slip-stitch border-that was actually pretty easy. I just started working on the center panel-I was hoping to have more of it done so I could have an establish pattern before I went on vacation, but I just haven't had the time.
The center panel is similar to the lace pattern, and although it may be difficult the first pattern cycle, once it's established and I've done a few repetitions, it'll become easier. I can work on it in front of people, and not have to worry about getting distracted and loosing count when someone sneezes! LOL. ;)
I took a picture when I finished the lower lace border-I didn't get a chance to post it yet. Now that I've done quite a few more rows-I'm going to need a new picture! Boy, I'm slow. ;) Someday, I will start posting progress pics again!

still knitting...really, I am!
My UFOs are numerous-if I were to tell you the number of unfinished projects I have, you would sit there and laugh at me and say, 'you're no knitter!'
Ok, maybe you wouldn't. ;)
I started a baby blanket for Shanna-it's slow going, 'cause silly me, decided to knit one with a lace pattern in it! The pattern is "School Colors for Baby" from the September 2007 issue of Creative Knitting. Oooh! It's a good thing I looked up the name on their website-a correction had been posted!!
Still working on the same K-9 toy that I was last year. It's not a difficult project-I just haven't had the time to finish the poor guy!!
Now that Persephone has graduated with her Masters in social work (you go, girl!!!) we are hoping to start up our Saturday night coffee shop knitting/crochetting outings again. We also should be able to start going to crochet club on a regular basis. Hopefully this will inspire me to post here more (with pics!) as well. :)
Just wanted to post a quick update to let you know I'm still here!

knitty-knit-knit
Another long stretch without posting! What's with me?
Well, I started another project! When was the last time I finished one? I dunno. LOL. I started a baby blanket for my friend Shanna-she's expecting in August. I found the pattern in my November issue of Creative Knitting. It's purple and gold, which happens to be the Vikings colors, of which they are fans. :) My first goal is to have it done before she gives birth...my second: before the baby can walk. LOL!
Still working on a K-9. I finished the 2 sides and started the gusset. I also worked on my poncho a bit (while driving to Cincinatti this past weekend-straight St-st, easy to do while traveling.) I have one panel done, and I started on the other. I'm calling this my 'Spur-of-the-Moment Poncho' (since I bought the yarn with the pattern on it and the needles at Walmart while I was in MN this past Christmas)
I've been thinking about changing my template from a two collumn to a three collumn-I'll have to see. I also want to get something that will show the percentage completed of my projects (even though they might not change much!) LOL. We'll see. First I need to have the time to figure out the html code! ;)

still here!
Oh, my!!! I haven't posted anything here since October!!! Well, partly because since I've moved, I haven't had much time for knitting-so I didn't have anything new to post.
Hopefully 2008 will bring more time for knitting and other crafty projects (I got my very own sewing machine back in November!!! I'm gonna make a costume for Doctor Who! ;) )
Till then, I hope everyone had a safe and happy new year!
