Wonderful Weekend?

Hi! Well, I haven't blogged in a couple of weeks, been a little busy. Productive though, I finished a pair of EZ's mocassin socks for dear BF to take w/ him to Washington state for his 17 days of AT w/ the Army National Guard. I really can't go into what I am thinking/feeling right now about this whole ANG thing, but it's really not a positive thing. Yeah, I am grateful that these guys and gals are defending our country but, some ding-a-ling went and not only scheduled this unit for 17 days of AT but also for a weekend which was THIS weekend, so families don't get to spend time with their 'soldiers' before they ship out. Nice, huh? I wonder when they;ll be deployed again? They've already done 1 year in Iraq. Anyway, enough about that. So, this is suppose to be about knitting..... WIP's....... Hmm... still got the Central Park Hoodie going............ and now The Wallaby in some Bernat acrylic for my 10 year old son......... he's a little rough on sweaters......... I finished a beanie for him in some Paton's Classic Wool for him the other day, it's really cute. Well........ I guess I will get ready for a run... maybe that will change this melancholy mood I am in........ I've been crying on and off all night, can't figure out why....... Have a great day!

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.

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
