I’m still alive!
Well, I’ve survived my first two days at school! My class seems better than last year! No criers either
Yippee! They really haven’t whined to much, you can’t imagine how wonderful that is! Anyway, I haven’t gotten much knitting done, needless to say. Lots of paperwork, and computer stuff to do. DH is golfing tonight, his last league night for this year. I plan on some knitting with a glass of wine this evening! I have about 1 inch of the ribbing around the waist band of my somewhat cowl done. It just takes soooo long on small needles. I think I’m a worsted weight kind of girl! Give me size seven needles on up! I work on the cowl for awhile then have to go to something else with bigger needles so I can see progress! Anyway it is a great knit and I love my yarn choice! I’ve started the straps for my cute little tube toporini from Zephyr, still need DH to measure for me so I can get them the right length, then that will be done!!
Also I’ve just joined the Stitch Divas Simply Knitted Bodice KAL. I splurged and bought the Till Thomas suggest yarn. Kpixie has it and a kit and until Sept 15 is giving a discount with the Code gimmegimme. I think’s its 10% off. My yarn shipped today so It should be here by Fri. the start of the KAL. Yippee another reason to start another project!!
The simply knitted bodice is also with my Sexy Knitters Club KAL too…so I’m getting 2 for one with this knit! I hope I’ll be inspired to finish! OHH I hear the UPS guy,could that be my yarn now???? Darn,it was something for DH!
OH well Sorry no pictures today! I’ll try to get some up this weekend. I got back the quilt I made for my parents anniversary, a King size, I had it professionally quilted..Wow It’s great! I have to get some picts of it on their bed!

I found your blog via sexy knitters club. I am sooo impressed that you are knitting and quilting! I have been quilting for about 4yrs and once I started knitting(2yrs) I put the quilting on the backburner. I have fabric that is about 3yrs old and I’m just getting it cut out. There just isn’t enough time to do it all! I have 2 boys (6&8)that tend to cut into my craft time—ha ha. The knitting is easier to take along so I can make progress in times when the kids are playing in the park etc.
I love your stuff—you go girl!
