Baby Sweater

Mood- Friday Night Knits… I’m trying to get the blogspot set up… we will see??

WIP – The “double knit” hat I finally got the hang of it. Some mistakes…I call them design details. I finished the 5 hour babysweater. Will post a picture. I need to block. I’m going to try and steam with my little hand steamer. My small car project is a infant baby hat. I’m on row 10. I’m working at the “Yarn Expo” on Sunday for a few hours. Maybe I’ll get to see Lilly Chin.


What I’m Doing - Hopefully off to knitting. I’ve been working on my blog. Still trying to get things set up with my sidebar. Look I even posted a U-Tube video on knitting. I was really excited about being on someones blog-roll but I went there today and boo hoo she took me off. I’m to shy to ask why. I met the lady… really nice … she showed me her’s and added me on the spot. Oh well.. at least the “knitting grounds” is still up on her site. I will leave her on "My Fav's".

What Audio Books I’m Listen To - Still listening to another J.A. Jance novel “Web of Evil”. Read by Karen Ziemba. I’ve been listening to “Miss Julia Strikes Again”. Very funny and a good listen.

Mood- I’m tired and anxious both at the same. So much to do and so little time – it my work that has me anxious. We gearing up for our “Tackle Show” and although things are coming together.. there not.

WIP – The “double knit” hat is not going well. I didn’t have the right # of stitches on. And I couldn’t get the hang of working with 2 yarns at the class. Every night this week I did work on – I tink’d it about 100 times. Well 10. I’m not happy about. I’m working on a baby hat for my small project.

What I’m Doing - Game night is off so Friday night knitting. I want to start my EZ baby sweater. There are several people including Zaynob who have knit one. This weekend is the Yarn Council Fiber Expo. I can’t afford the classes. I’m going to help in the Guild’s booth on Sunday. Maybe I’ll get more knitting done. We are going to the cabin tomorrow to close it up. I’ll work on DH slippers and hopefully get them done.

What Audio Books I’m Listen To - I finished “Dead Wrong” by J. A. Jance and I also finished “Letter of a Homestead Woman” by Elinore Pruitte Stewart. Letter written by a pioneer woman. It was very good. Now I’m listening to another J.A. Jance novel “Web of Evil”. Read by Karen Ziemba.

Tomorrow night: Rain likely. Low 49F. Chance of rain 80%.

5 hour Baby Sweater
minus the sleeves.
Who knits this in
5 Hours?
What’s Going On- I’ve been working on my blog. Trying to jazz it up at bit and learn more things. Our “Friday Night Knitting @ The Grounds” would like to create a blog. We would have pictures of each of us and the items we’re knitting and the social things that are going on with us.

WIP – I finish the homework for the workshop on the “double knit” hat. I finished my lastest washcloth and have cast on a “Newborn baby” hat. I will work on that as my small project.
I’ve finished the body of the “5 Hour Baby Sweater”. I will post a picture.

What I’m Doing - Friday night knitting tonight. Tommorrow my DH and DD have a softball tournament. I will be watching Boo Boo. Then it will be off to the workshop on the Double knit hat

What Audio Books - I’m Listen To - “Dead Wrong” by J. A. Jance, read by Susan Ericksen at work and in the car a book call “Ferry Crossing”. It’s by an English writer and the narrator is very good.

Mood- Full and happy! We had a potluck end of the season dinner at work. Hmmm good food and lots of fun.

WIP – I finished Boo Boo’s pullover this week. I posted a picture yesterday. I also finished one of my DH slippers. The guild’s workshop this quarter is “double knit” hat and I have started the homework. I had to cast on with the “provisional” cast on. I went to
http://www.knittingatknoon.com/provisional they have a wonderful video showing how cast on with a crochet hook. Makes it very easy.

What I’m Doing - Friday night knitting, I hope. I did not make it last Friday night because of a family crisis. Tomorrow is the guild’s monthly meeting! I just love seeing what everyone is making. They are going to have someone show a simple mitten pattern that we can use for our charity knitting this winter along with hats.

What Audio Books I’m Listen To - I finished “The Sleeping Doll” by Jeffery Deaver very good. We might have a new author to listen to. I’m listening to “Dead Wrong” by J. A. Jance, read by Susan Ericksen.. She’s very good reader. I’m on disk #3.
