After 22 Christmases, I’ve finally found time to personalize our Christmas tree skirt. I love it!
(Pictures taken with my phone, so quality is not the best)
I’ve not been feeling too good so yesterday I spent quite a bit of time knitting.
I finished the Christmas Stocking for Brett & Christy’s newest addition:
And, FINALLY finished my Sweatshirt Sweater – I just need buttons and I can wear it. Well, and it needs to get colder (we are having a heat wave!!)

Sorry I’ve been a bad blogger. However, I’ve been an excellent knitter! ;-) I made serious headway on my side to side cardigan – the body is done. I had the shoulders seemed but then took them out because I wasn’t happy with them. Then it’s the sleeves and neck egdge…..and 5 buttons and it’s done! 😀
Then I need to dive right into a Christmas stocking for JGirl. I spent the better part of one day last weekend starting and stopping. I have nothing to show for it but a bunch of frustation! I think I’m going to abandon what I was trying to do (use my Grandmother’s pattern from 1940-50) and just do one like I’ve been doing the past 3-4 years.
I’m still mourning the yarn/projects that the moths ate. I want to make Jayne hats for my brother’s family, but I have to buy all new yarn. Boo
I started some knit hats for the boys for a purse project (something I can keep in my purse and work on as I have time). It’s finally getting into the 70s this week — woo hoo! 😉
Anyway, sorry for the lack of posts – but I’ll reward you all with pictures of my projects real soon!

I’ve pretty much abanonded my knitting blog (Knit+Mom=Knitnmom). With the advent of Ravelry (YEAH!!), there just isn’t the need for a separate blog. FWIW, I still HIGHLY recommend WordPress for anyone who wants to start a blog.
So, I moved all my knitting posts, categories and my progress bars over here about a week ago. And, from time to time you will see what I’ve been knitting!
Right now, I’m knitting a sweater for me (sorry – I think you have to be in Ravelry to see that link). It’s knit side-to-side in a super soft gray – it reminds me of an old sweatshirt. I can’t WAIT for it to be done!
I’ve put Brett’s families Jayne hats in time out as the moths ate the yarn – boo hoo!
I have some camo yarn that I want to make the boys new hats but I realized I need to do a Christmas Stocking for JGirl. The last few years I’ve been knitting stockings for my newer nieces and nephews – keeping up the tradition my Grandma W started in our family. I’d done my own style but last year I found that someone had reprinted the patterns that my Grandma W based her stockings on. As Eric & I, J1 and J2 have stockings from Grandma W and J3 has a knit one with a train….we’d like hers to match ours more. So I’m going to start her stocking today but it’s a new pattern….written in the 1940s or 50s and it’s SUPER small print. I’m not feeling very hopeful.  I can always go back to the pattern I’ve been using but I’d be disappointed. I’ll keep you posted on my progress! Maybe even get some photos taken today!
