a new partnership in the works???

Hey all!!!

How's it going??? We finally got some nice weather here in N.E!!!! It's so bright and sunny, the birds are singing.....we're all a bustling...... going about our business!!!! What'chall been up to?????

Well, I started a new knitting project....the Madeline Jacket by White Lies Designs..... It's based on the PI Jacket...... It's made out of this Scrumptious 100% cotton yarn that she also distributes....... so far it's easy but I'm on the back.... I will post some pics over the weekend. and I also, got the new...long awaited "Knitting Lingerie Style"...has anyone seen it? Lots of nice designs.....most are practical, too...... pretty...... she did a real nice job..... Cascade fixation really made out well too!

Anyway, another new change is coming up in our lives.... my BF and I have decided to look for a house to rent around here. We're basically tired of living paycheck to paycheck. Gets a little redundant. The economy is really bad right now..... Well, I guess I don't need to tell you, unless you're independently wealthy.

And, another event to celebrate---my now 18-year-old daughter---the leukemia survivor is graduating high school next week!! 3 down 4 to go! She plans on going to college---criminal justice is the latest! You go girl!

Anyway, thats 'bout all!! Hey, check out Daves' blog @ www.cabincove.com...He has the greatest kitty Miss Lulu.... If I didn't have a kitty that didn't think it was human as well...... I would think she was strange. Buh Bye!

spinning, knitting, other goodies

Hi!

It's been a while...... okay, so I'm not a good blog hostess! whoops! I've been busy! I started a new job a couple of weeks ago. I now work at a small regional hospital, here in town, three nights a week. it's so nice! It's nice to meet the different people from town staff and patients. The unit I work on is small--16 beds small, but alot goes on..... people come in because of chest pain, one guy came in because he got into a fight over someone wanting to flush his ball cap down the toilet (his fist met the other guys mouth), it's unbelieveable some of the things you see. Oh and I worked the finish line tent at the Boston Marathon! That was incredible! What an experience--not only being a runner but being a nurse and being able to help out a fellow runner in such a capacity was incredulous!

Now to the knitting! Well, I still got the Wallaby going on.... slow progress with that..... working on the 2nd sleeve...... just not into knitting with acrylics... not that I'm a yarn snob but it just ain't the same!....... I got a pair of sandals going too..... yes, you read right sandals....... cascade fixation and green mountain spinnery cotton both in shades of khaki with leather soles....... I got the pattern from Classic Yarns of Grafton (508-839-0053). and I got a pair of socks being worked on in tofutsies........ that's 'bout all.... Oh yeah! see that brown stuff at the bottom of the pic.... that's my 1st attempt at spinning! some brown Romney wool....not bad for a rookie...... now, I have some rainbow wool that I have been spinning with that I got last year at the NH S&W (I missed the festival last week BAA Wah! BAA Wah!!) It'll be a while before I get really good, but at least I realized a long time dream.
