Snow days

The school district didn't call an early dismissal yesterday for the snow, like they should have. I overrided them, and stayed home with the girls. I finished all my knitting. Today I am weaving in a lot of ends. No school today or tomorrow and then two weeks and a day off for Christmas Break.

More Christmas Stress

My coworkers just decided to change our gift giving event from Friday to Wednesday, in case of snow. Now I really have to hurry up!!!!!

Long time

Wow! Haven't blogged in awhile. Thought I could do this here. After I'm done with my knitting cramming, I'll have to edit this blog. None of the stuff on my page is correct anymore. My oldest son is 21, not 17.

Christmas

I have two Christmas presents due this Friday (http://www.ravelry.com/projects/jenknitter/brendas-potholder-set). I am cramming. My fingers hurt. That is all, thank you :)

Unknitting

I had a small goal of 5 knitting projects for Christmas. Two are finished. One would be finished, but after I cast off, I was finally able to see that the whole thing didn't work at all. According to Ravelry, I started it on September 24. I cast on for a new thing immediately after I realized it wouldn't work. I am not going to actually rip it out, I'll just work at that part slowly while knitting the new thing.

Back?

I'm going to try this again. My friend recently started a blog, my son started a new blog, and I really do miss it, even if Facebook is so constantly in my life. Sometimes, the post I want to make is longer.

I have been knitting like crazy lately. Made a hat for Kandyce in a couple of days. Made four swiffer covers in not long.

As always, I have a lot of things to finish that I have started.

Sitcom Chic

Socks

The Beekeepers Quilt

All projects

NOT sewing...

I wish I could play with my sewing machine, but the couple of times I have tried, I have gotten nowhere. I can take classes (for free!), but the class is only on Mondays, and my husband worked last Monday, and tomorrow. Maybe next week?

Christmas

For Christmas I got some shoes, and a Luther Vandross CD set and a key to my husband's heart

The kids had so much fun!

I have lots of pictures on Facebook.

Finishing!!!!

I finished a hat for Ayanna (no pictures, yet, because she is napping). I made A LOT of progress on a sock for me. I am about two inches in on a hat for DeAndre'. It feels soooo good to actually see progress! Malik says he doesn't want a hat, but I will have made hats for all my children, so I found one on ravelry and will be knitting it up as soon as I am done with DeAndre's. At this rate, it will be done in time for Christmas.

When I am done with the heel turn, why do I ALWAYS pick up the gussets backwards! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!

More sewing

I went to Fabric Depot today and came away with a pretty good haul:

I want free fabric, so please excuse this link. Or go enter.

What did I do this for!!!

My son works at Goodwill. Therefore, I am often there to take him lunch when he forgets (which happens often), and pick him up.

Guess what I saw?

More importantly, guess what I bought!!!!?!!!

I couldn't resist it at only $40! Now I need to find it a home, and get some material, and some thread, and a book or two from the library, and some....

(AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!)

Some finishing

Well, I didn't do so hot at NaBloPoMo, but I am still here, so...

I finished two things this weekend:

This is a hat for a squirrel. Don't ask, my sister is a bit crazy

These were going to be gloves for Kandyce to go with her hat (see below). They are now going to Ayanna.

I finished this hat for Kandyce a week or two ago

Thanksgiving

First we went to my sister in law's house:

Then the power went out, so we went to my uncle's house:

This is most of the part of my family who lives in Oregon. We also have a branch in Colorado.

I started and finished a hat for Kandyce, and started some gloves for her.

O! M! G!

I was reading my blogs. I read Mini. Go to this page and scroll down to the information about the sock knitter. I suggest we (The Knitters) in a way similar to yarnharlot, take over the comment box!

GO!

FINISHED SOMETHING ELSE!!!

According to Ravelry, I started this 4 days ago. It would have taken me ten minutes to finish, but I had to wait for delivery of my Sensor to finish it. LOVE IT!!! Now to get to running. I will start that on Wednesday.


Another new project...

However, it is a quick thing. However, it could take me two weeks to finish it, rather than the 20 minutes it should take.
I am starting c25k again next week. I bought a Nike + iPod Sport Kit - USA thing for my iPod from eBay. I found a pattern for a cozy for the sensor. Ravelry link. When I get the thing in the mail, I will finish it off.

Trying...

I am not here quite daily this month, huh?

That is okay. It is not guilt. I have done better this month (I think) than the last two or three years COMBINED!

OTN:
Doll for Christmas;
Corset Silk Tank Top;
Silky Negligee

The doll was supposed to be for birthday in August;
Corset Silk Tank Top - freshly started a few days ago - needs full concentration and for me. Therefore, probably won't get done!;
Silky Negligee - for a birthday YEARS ago. Maybe for a birthday next year.

LOOK! I FINISHED SOMETHING!!!
