It's 90 degrees and..............

Hey!

I've done something completely. oh I don't know........... crazy???? How about I'll let you fill in the blank (_______________________). I hope that was enough room. Well, I have decided to go back for my Masters'. I am taking two courses this semester Family Nursing Theory and Nursing Theory. This is on top of working 36 hours per week, managing the lives of the 5 remaining children (the other two are on their own), trying to have a life w/ the bf, running and of course knitting/ spinning. ARRGGHHHH!

WIP's......... Charade socks being knit of Brown Sheep sock yarn..... and a london beanie w/ some worsted super wash.

FO's......... I spun some peachy/ amber colored wool and designed a dog sweater for my Dutchie.......... It came out pretty good! When it gets cooler (and not 90 degrees in late September) I will post some pics.

Anyway, I guess that's about all.......... Oh I went to the VT. S&W. It was fun took a workshop on adding novelty stuff in with fiber while spinning. I realized I got a long way to go spinning wise before I can be consistent, but I'm getting there.

This cardi is coming out nicely, if I can say so myself. They use a bright, almost kelly green yarn in the mag issue, the color of the Debbie Bliss yarn I have is like a pumpkin color. I really like it! The pattern itself is easy to memorize.

FUN STUFF!

Just for kicks and giggles
