Perhaps this is why it takes me so long to finish stuff!!
So last night I worked on this: 
Socks that Rock in Roctober. Plus I ordered a pair of Sketchers Mary Jane’s 
so that I can wear them with my socks…I ordered black , if I like them I may get the brown too!
Then this: 
my Wicked
Then I started this: 
scarf with Malabrigio thick and thin…to go with my new jacket, winter has finally arrived in Ohio.
Then I worked some more on Wicked…. OH then I flipped through this.
..a few cute things in it…
So now I’m off to work on my wicked. I’d like to get to where the sleeves are off the needles. Wore my Ribbi Cardi
today… got lots of compliments on it!
Some finished work !
Well I finished my dad’s birthday scarf with about 30 minutes left to spare! 
I finished it at 2:00 on Sunday afternoon, and we were leaving to meet them for dinner at 2:30. Dad loved it.
Those it’s hard to tell by his cheesy picture! My FIRST “Manly Knit1″ I’m really happy with how it came out. It is done in mistake rib, 4 skeins of the yarn…but duh I threw out the tags so I can’t tell you about it!
Bigger news I finished my V-neck sweater! Hooray! 
OK so not a good picture. I’ll get better when it’s dry and I can put it on! 
Here’s Abby helping with the sleeve! I’ve washed it and blocked it, now I’m just waiting on it to dry. I used Rowan chunky print and size 13 needles so it went fast. I cast on for it on Jan 1, and finished sewing in the ends on Jan.15th! A record for me! I added a little bit of waist shaping, but other than that I followed the pattern. Just a nice cozy weekend sweater.
Then since I finished that and the scarf I started Wicked! 
with the Sexy Knitters Club. I’m using Andean Silk from Knit Picks in Sangria. I would have loved to have bought the teal yarn(Artyarns super-merino) they used in their pict on the pattern, but I am trying to knit from my stash..and I had bought the knit picks yarn for another project that I’d tired of..but the yarn is really nice, and is so soft! Speaking of knit picks…I LOVE my options needles, but I keep poking a hole in my index finger with them! Any thoughts on how to avoid that? I love the tips but eek! I know I should try not to push on the needles with my index finger, but I can’t help it!
Zip it dee do dah
Today I feel like Wendy!! Why do you ask? Well she is such a speedy knitter! How does she get so much done so fast!?!? But I did indeed finish the back of my classic V neck cardigan…Started it Monday night and finished it Tues night! OK so it’s knit on size 13s but still quite an impressive feat for me! Here is proof:
But now vacation is over so while the time was frenzied and crazy I’m sure I won’t knit on as quickly as the back. I plan on casting on the front tonight.(oh yes this is stash yarn!)…coming back to work was kind of nice, except for getting up early which sucks…
Oh yeah I also got 3 of the 7 snowflakes appliques onto my whiteout! quilt! 
Wow are they a pain to sew down! But it looks cool. It’s a bigger quilt than I ws thinking…I may have to send it out to get it quilted!
Happy New Year!
Well 2007 has already arrived! I’m wondering where 2006 went! I’m trying to recover from our party last night…and get the Christmas stuff down. I need to get my tree out before the garbage men come tomorrow! It’s dropping needles something fierce! I’m trying Unsuccessfully to get hubby to bring the empty Christmas tubs up so I can put stuff away…plus I have some snowmen things I want to put up too!
As for resolutions I don’t usually make many, but I’m going to try to walk the dogs most days for 15-30 minutes. I’ve been really slacking with that lately and it’d be good for them and me! And I want to try to organize myself a little more…My basement for one thing…
I am also going to try to go along with the Knit from your Stash 2007. When I but yarn it is usually for a particular project. I have yarn for several sweaters! If I get brave enough I will take picts. and post. I’m not saying I’m not going to buy any yarn, but I would really like to get some of the projects done, they are things I want to make! So I guess it’s a great idea to go along with this and try to make some of the stuff I want to get done! I certainly have enough started quilting projects as well..
I did join BMFA Rockin’ Sock Club I’d decided on that awhile back…I just love their color ways…I couldn’t resist. Plus it’s sock yarn so that doesn’t count anyway!
My split neck T is almost done…I’m hoping to finish it today or tomorrow. I’ll try to get picts up tomorrow! I started working again on my jaywalker sock but I messed up and I need to pull back an inch or so. I messed up somewhere along the gussets….I was trying to fix it but I’m going to have to to just frog it back a bit.
I promise I’ll get some picts up soon…
