Help...I need a new name for this blog...I think this one--well is dumb! so, I want to enlist your help.... I'm talking input......Let's see.....I have 7 kids, I work as a nurse, I knit, I spin I run... I got a dog, a cat.... can anyone think of something more fun, more fitting than what I did????? (Good God I hope so)!
Anyway, WIP..... Those damned socks in Tofutsies, mismatched blunders... I'm actually in a email conversation with the CEO over there at SWTC as to what to do about it. She called it pooling of the yarn...."some people like it, some don't" I fall into the latter group! She seems very nice..... So, we'll see if there's a resolution... I will post a pic for you all to see.
I'm also working on a wide brim hat knit out of Cascade Fixation.... the pattern is from Cynthia Walker.... Its really a cute hat!!! Otherwise I got nothing going on in the knitting world. Spinning I'm working on some peachy-colored (feels like) Romney wool. It is lucious! I'm really enjoying it....My spinning is beginning to smooth out now, not as nubby as it used to be.... I kind of miss the nubs.
And, as for the looking for the Home to Rent thing...well that goes on...kind of hard to find one....with pets.....not giving them up though.....I really think homeowners have misconceptions though, I think kids are more dangerous to a homes wellbeing than pets are... but whatever.
well, thanks all for reading my incessant babbling!
Have a marvey day!!!!!
Welcome to my Blog!

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!

Dutchie modeling my finished Bejeweled Scarf
Bejeweled Scarf in Sublime Mohair
So, here is the start of my Bejeweled scarf. I'm kind of on a deadline, trying to finish it for a lunch meeting Wednesday afternoon with a good friend. Hopefully, I can getting it done. I started it yesterday during the Patriots/ Jets game and during all my cleaning frenzy.
K2,P2 sock #1 in jojoba/ aloe yarn

Mindy w/ K2 P2 cap in progress for son Seth
This I am just poking around with in Classic Wool by Patons. it's for my 10 year old son. With this El Nino pattern of weather I wo der if he'll need it?
Cardi from Fall Knitscene in progress
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
