I'm Off

I am off to Vegas for a few days. I overpacked but found a good plane ride knit- the Ballband Bag. See ya in a few...

Hell may have frozen over...

...because I am posting pictures.

First up, Purl Beret. I have so much sock yarn and a couple of single skeins so I foudn this pattern on Ravelry and knit up a hat. Not something I will wear right now but I love it.

I have also been working on the Josephine Top from IK. I have the front done and hope to finish the back this weekend. It's my first time using Knitpicks Shine Sport and I like it alot.

No huge plans this weekend but I am off to Vegas on Wednesday for our big VIP trip which includes a dinner with a guy named Bobby Santapietro who has dyed jet black hair and a pinky ring. I watched Casino last night to prep.

I have been knitting

I know no promised pictures as of yet. I have been knitting but other things are going on too.

We have over 400 people come to the casino this past weekend to try-out for Survivor. Many interesting people and auditions. Hubby has had a work schedule change and will be on Swing Shift starting tomorrow which means I now have to cook dinner and play mom a little more. That also means nights to knit so I am ok with that. I am also leaving for Vegas next week and planning, shopping and packing for that.

I will get those pictures up. BTW- I have a slight case of startitis coming on. Any advice on keeping that at bay for now?

Another buy

The Raverly store is open and I just got a set of the Frogged/Ripped pints. So close to the truth on so many levels.

Up-ing the Stash

So yesterday I hit the sale at Renaissance Yarns and of course, went with not project or yarn in mind. I have yet to find out why I don't prior plan before going to the store. Anyway, I got something totally different than the rest of my stash- Cotton tape-like yarn. I thought it work well for a Clapotis. (is that #6?) I also picked up something alittle more familar- Trekking- and some cotton for some washcloths.

Tomorrow we are having a community garage sale. We plan to partake but right now only have 2 bags of clothes, a desk, a shelving unit and 1 DVD ready. Pretty sad. I see lots of rummaging through stuff tonight.

Productive weekend

This weekend, I watched more movies that I have in the past month.



The Grudge- I know I am WAY behind on this one but I just can't get past creepy and this movie was creepy. I can handle Jason, Freddie and Michael Myers but creepy kids walking strangly and watching you is way too much for me. Enough said.



Knocked Up- This was ok but didn't live up to the hype.



Walk Hard- Judd Apatow double feature, I guess. I liked this better, of course, because there was singing involved. Jenna Fischer rocks!



I also baked cookies, bread and made fudge yesterday and we started some overhaul in the backyard. All in all a pretty productive weekend.



Tomorrow we get our first delivery of organic veggies from local farms. I am so excited!!

I'm Still Here

I have been knitting alot on Josephine this week. I decided to knit the front first to figure out any adjustments I made need to make. I am about half way through the armhole shaping.

Sorry about the lack of real blog posts. I haven't had the time or inspiration to get them done on a regualr basis. I am going to try to take some pictures on the next sunny day and get the Ravelry page updated too.
