Some knitting

Just to prove that knitting has occurred in between everything else going on right now. I have a few things started that just need finished up with weaving in ends (hourglass sweater), some things I was bored with (baby afghans - all mason dixon), then there's the project that seems to take forever (scribbling from mason dixon - It would help if I read the pattern right) and some new projects I just started. Yes, I have fallen off the wagon, I did not last on the stashalong. At some point hopefully I'll get back to all my projects.

Only two projects to post tonight...Grandma's wash cloth for Mother's Day and some Hokie Squares are Mosaic.

Hopefully there will be posts of some finished projects soon, like the bag that I started (just needs seaming, lining and handles) from E and my visit to the yarn shop this weekend.

Road Trip to Va

I decided at the last minute to road trip down to Va to visit S. I brought some knitting with me, even though I haven't done any knitting in awhile, figuring I might get more done with someone else around. We visited her local knitting store and she introduced me to this Tilli Thomas yarn that I loved, so I pick up a nice dark red along with some rowen mohair to do a new scribbling. the Tilli Thomas has these beads sewn into it so it makes the scribbling shawl look more fancy. I was able to get a little more than half of it done over the weekend, as S knitted a purse. It was a great weekend of chatting, watching chick flicks and knitting. Once the scribbling is done, I'll put up a picture. I'm hoping to finish it next weekend.

Two New Dishcloths

Yeah, yeah I hear ya. Doesn't that B girl ever knit anything but dishcloths? She does when work isn't super crazy, and she's gotta stick it out one more week before she can return to projects that are larger than a breadbox. Below are the May KAL and Mid-April KAL dishcloths from the Monthly Dishcloth group. The daffodils one is destined for Mom this weekend, but I am keeping the lacy blue one for my own home. I truly enjoy making these because they make such quick and easy gifts and are usable instantly.

Still Knitting and now also Runagogoing

So, yeah, work has been nuts. But, this week I have gotten back into the swing of things. I have one more day and then I can post two new dishcloths. Ready to get back to finishing my modular scarf and poncho though. I also joined Runagogo, and got my first 3.5 miles done today. So, not a total loss this week in the down time effort. I'll post some pics tomorrow though.

Hokies United

I have fallen off the face of the earth for the last few weeks, I haven't felt much like knitting. B pointed out that my local yarn store is doing afghans for the families of the victims of the Virginia Tech tragedy.
