Disregard those graphics in my side panel – they are woefully outdated! I realized I’m getting too far ahead of myself on knitting projects and need to get a handle on them! Here is what I’m doing right now and their status:

1) Eric’s Afghan – though I don’t know why I’m doing it – I hate, hate, hate the yarn – blech! It’s about 85% done.
2) J3’s slippers – just started, so let’s say 5%.
3) My black shawl – 20%
4) Fall Scarf for an unnamed someone – 50%
5) Felted purse – I just need to felt it – oh for a little courage! 😉
Well, that’s it except the dishcloth exchange I’m in – we make 2 dishcloths a month – which is a nice distraction from the other, bigger projets

Projects I want to do or have the yarn to do but haven’t started yet:
1) Christmas stockings for Christy, Kaya, Connor, Caleigh, Rebecca, all my Js
2) A hat for me for those early morning walks!
3) A drop stitch scarf – Roe was doing one last night and I love the look of it! Might need to make a couple for Christmas!!
4) Lace scarf out of this dreamy alpaca yarn I got from Knit Picks

I’m writing up my observations from our weekend…will hopefully post it tomorrow.

http://www.blackberry-ridge.com/shrug.htm Here is the next thing I want to knit – and it would be all for me!!!! The problem is I can not afford the yarn this company sells for this project – $9-11/skein! Anyone have a good alternate choice for me? It’s a fingering weight project. 🙂

Well, I typed a looong post about our boooring weekend and when I went to another window to look up a link, the post disappeared! 🙁 I’m not up to retyping it – sorry – you’d just be bored anyway.

But here is the link: A new group I just joined where we knit a dishcloth a month – a great way to learn some new stitches! Join us!!

My Secret pal sent me a gift a week ago and I forgot to say thank you! 🙁 Bad Amy!!

THANK YOU!!!!

She blessed me with Veggie Tale coloring books/shrinkies for the boys – some Magic Stripes yarn (knitting a tie for DH) – and a Chibi (for those who don’t knit its a cute little container for your darning needles – and it comes with darning needles!) I feel so spoiled!! I can’t wait to find out who you are so I can get to know you!
