Too long...

So it has been almost a whole month since I last updated. I do apologize readers!!! It has been a crazy month! My husband has been working long hours, and the baby hasn't been sleeping much so that leaves me with very little time to knit!

I just finished up my sister's glamour wristlets. I just have to sew up the seams, and I need her in the room to do it so I can make sure to leave enough room for her thumbs.

Found a new knitting store over on the coast. Got some great books for socks and sweaters so very excited to try some of that! Only 2 weeks left of full time with the baby and then maybe I can get over there and try some of these new techniques!

Right now Im working on a back pack for my sister and a blanket for my mother in law using the Tunisian crochet hook that I picked up in Atlanta. Im also still working on the potato chip scarf. Im on my last ball of yarn for it, so it shouldn't be much longer before it is finished!

I can't wait to make my first garment. Im making a shell for my mom. I just need to go get the circular needles for it. It doesn't look too hard, might need to seek some help from the Knit store. Hopefully it turns out!

Well, off to bed. It was an awesome long weekend! Back to work tomorrow. Its going to be a long (short) week!

Sick but organized

So over the past week or so, my husband and I have been fighting off a cold. Luckily, the baby's mom gave me today off to rest up. I definitely needed it. The husband and I have not been sleeping lately mostly due to our congestion. But after some Nyquil last night I feel much better. This weekend is Muddy Buddy so we are going to need to get some rest here in the next day or two. Speaking of MB, I have to work on our costumes today. Sadly, it isn't something that I could easily knit, so I have to bring back my crafting and ironing skills! Pictures to follow once I finish them.

Well, I got all my yarn organized and put away for the most part. I have a lot of quick projects coming up so I hope that will start to clear some space in my cubby holes for the yarn I brought home from Stitches.

I finished blocking one of the secret projects last night. It was my first attempt at blocking and I think it turned out well. Some of the sides are curling a little bit but not as badly as before. I also finished the second secret project so now its back to the potato chip scarf and new projects!

Excited for this summer, only 3 weeks away! It means less time working and more time for knitting and maybe even some crafting and scrapbooking!!! Looking forward to it for sure! Well, back to resting I suppose. Hopefully I can kick this cold in the butt by Saturday morning!
