Wow, I am bad

First it was a month. Now it has been almost 2 months since a post. What have I been doing?

I finished a few projects and started new ones.

First off the crochet blanket is done! so too is a Drops Asymmetrical Sweater, the Wisp, a Purl scarf for a gift and a couple berets. My Feburary Lady Sweater was sent to the frog pile and is no more.

on the needles now- Fiddlehead mittens, another Clapotis, a Top-Down Sweater and a pair of really forgotten socks!

Over a month...holy crap!!

I can't believe it has been over a month since I last posted. The test knitting has been keeping me busy. I am working on a second sweater which is due later this week. I also have the Feb. Lady sweater, socks and the crochet afghan going too. Hopefully, I can get backto blogging more once I have the sweater done.

Reality Check

This week, I bought some new hanger for my closet which meant going through some of my clothes. Along the way I found some of the first sweater I knit. These were tucked away in the back of shelves, worn maybe once or twice. A dark green Boobholder, a cottonease Something Red... Are these ready to be frogged and recycled in to something else.

How many times have you frogged an older sweater or do you just keep them for sentimental reasons?

Progress has been made

Super productive weekend. I finished the test project, Wisp (minus buttons) and the Chevron scarf!

Blogging Slacker

So I admit I have been slacking a bit when it comes to blogging. It has even crossed my mind to let it go on a more permenent basis. We will see how everything goes.

In the meantime, I have nearly finished my test knitting project. The number of FOs I have right now is concerning me. Wisp, a pair of socks, the granny square afghan and the never-ending Chevron Scarf.

Wisp is just about there, only a few more rows but the others are a long way from getting done. I guess 2 vacations and a test project have taken up all my extra time. My plan is side project monogamy. Work on the test project and finish Wisp on the side. Then move on to the next FO and work on that until it is done.

Back and ready to pack again

Disneyland and Vegas were great! We were waiting to get on a ride when the earthquake hit and as soon as we felt it, it was gone. Pretty quick compared to the quake we had in Seattle a few years ago. Needless to say, the ride were shut down for a few hours but being the Disney veterans we are,we took the time to eat, shop and head back to the hotel to rest.

Vegas with a 13yo was much different than usual. We didn't walk nearly as much since there were no gambling breaks to make a walk seem shorter. We saw the medievl show at Excaibur one night and went to the wedding the next. After that we watched the Belliago fountains, the Sirens show and explained to my step-son what the flyers the guys were handing out on the street were advertising. They really don't cover much up with a star.

Now we are getting ready to head out next week to Central Oregon for a week at Black Butte Ranch with family and friends. This year marks our 25th summer there. Scary! Now we are up to 17 people in 1 house which means we get loft and air matteress for a bedroom. Single people get to sleep on the floor in the room with the pool table.

Knitting-wise, I have been monogamous for about 2 weeks working on a test project. So that will most likely take up my time on vacation too.

Stitch n' Pitch is tomorrow night! I have my b-day money to bring ready for some impulse purchasing.

Still here, for now

Has it really been 2 weeks since my last post. I am still here but leaving for a few days in Disneyland and Vegas. It's been a few years since I have seen Mickey and though I go to Vegas a couple times a year, we have not taken our step-son. So Vegas with a 13 year-old will be interesting.

I have a knitting project with a deadline so figuring out what to knit on the plane is a no brainer.

Hubby and step-son are camping this week so I had time alone to what some trampy movies- Where the Truth Lies and The Othe Boleyn Girl, make pepper jelly that never set and knit! I also tried to go veggie for the week. Not long I know but it has been super easy. I have been eating off a fennel-tomato bake for a couple days and last night made some bruscetta. Tonight, pasta tossed with the remaining topping and some white beans. Nothing like going from the whole food veggie-ness of this week to Disneyland food and Vegas drinks next. Oh well, I proved to myself that it can be done and after vaca, I may start it up again.
