Paying the bills…

I use this and love it!

I get free stuff with SwagBucks!

Swatch it Woman!

There has been some little knitting going on here! Really, after all this is a knitting blog isn’t it?

I have some little things to show..this swatch..

Edited to add: Azia found a use for this little swatch!

Quite interesting. What do do with it?

Then this little tiny swatch of Tofutsies! Oh it’s pretty yarn and it works quite well with the EFG sock looms. I have something fun planned for it, I will get started on the real sock today!

Plus I started a Honeycomb Beanie hat, I was going to make it for me, but I think it will end up on the hat tree at church.

I am seeing a color theme here that is concerning.. I am so not a pink person. It just happens that all the scrappy bits of yarn I have are pink!

Today is Julian’s birthday! He is 5!! I can’t believe it! My little guy is 5!

I lovet his picture.. its a little old but it’s cute. Some real birthday pictures tommorrow!

PS> Go over to Pumpkin Knits and give her some ideas to get that baby out!!!! My guess was that she would have that baby today.. I am still the closest no matter what happens at this point cause no one else guessed this late! So give the new little PumkinBaby a great day for a birthday!!

Show the World you are proud to knit without needles!

I had a little time over the holiday to just sit.. You know in between all the sickness and commotion and utter lack of need to cook, I had some down time!

So I got to play around a bit on the computer with some software that I got in the computer upgrade, and I came up with an idea for a loom knitting t shirt.

So then I played around at Cafe Press, and came up with a few items that you loom knitters might like!But before I told you all about it I decided to get one shirt for myself and see how they really look.

 

   

Not bad! In fact what I really like.. is that they messed up and sent me two! Yep.. the BBT pulled up to the house, and out ran the delivery person with two packages from them, both with the identical product, and identical invoice! Hmmm….So drop by and see if there is anything you like! And let me know if there is anything you would like! I am going to be working on a second image, and hopefully figuring out how to get mugs! 

Just in time for your gift giving needs for your favourite loomer, or for hint dropping..

Come visit my store on CafePress!

OUCH!

Well last night we watched The Butterfly Effect after the kids went to bed. It was good! We watched the theatrical version, if we had time we would love to watch the director’s cut. I just can’t help but think that Ashton Kucher is a really good actor. I don’t like alot of the stuff he does.. but he does it well!

Afterwards I fell over the mini trampoline in the dark and messed up my knee pretty well. Ouch!

I am in knitting limbo right now. No really project to focus on so I will get back to work on my sweater for Brian. I have to take back about 4 rows to get back to the ribbing section and start over on the cable section.

 

I want to start a sweater for me as well. I will be doing the corrugated ribbing sweater from Loop d Loop. I need a sweater! I have one or two I need to get rid of!Maybe I will just start it and work on both!

Don’t forget to stop by Knitter’s Build a House and see what’s up! I am going to extend the deadline for the prize drawing so keep those donations coming! And my pattern sales for this month are adding up to a nice donation! Thanks!

 

Playing with yarn

Well. We tried to watch Monster House tonight. Between the cats attacking my yarn in my current projects organizer in the living room, and Caleb being scared I didn’t get to really watch it with the rest of the family.

It’s pretty intense for kids younger than 5.But fun for the rest of us.

So I just hung out with Caleb till he fell asleep.

I am done with my sample knit for Knit Picks. Hopefully you will see it in one of their upcoming cataloges. Pretty cool! I have been playing with some new stitch ideas on the looms I was hoping to work on it tonight more but that plan got squashed!

Status check:

Turkey.. still in the refrigerator

Stitch markers: still missing..

 

Popping in to say hey!

Well not much to write about today. Turkey still in the refrigerator, we are still recovering! Got some cleanup and catching up done.

Denise out.
