Knitty Pattern Update!!!

I started on the Knitty RPM socks last night while watching Men in Trees and Criminal Minds... I stopped watching American Idol since Michael John got voted off... What a rip off!!

I did one pattern repeat and I am liking how it is turning out. I am hoping that the Perchance to Knit Black Rainbow is the right combo... I wanted to find a pattern that hasn't been done in this yarn and show how pretty the colors blend together... The Yarn base is like "Butter"... I absolutely love how it rolls through my fingers...hehe She is pure Genius because the colors are vibrant and absolutely LOVELY!!! I cannot wait to put these on my tootsies...LOL
On the other hand I have made a little progress knitting on the Knitty Brighton. The yarn is KnitPicks Cotlin in the Linen. I am almost finished with the first ball. I will say that it is slow going since the K3TOG's are killing my wrist. I have been trying successfully to knit at least 1 pattern repeat. I have to have 13 and 1/2 inches before I am done and I have around 6 inches.... I am definitely going to block this purse...

I haven't picked out what fabric I want to use for the liner yet but I want to be almost done before picking out my selection. It is going to be my summer bag. I think I might sew in a water bottle holder in the material. I am hoping it is big enough that I can fit quite a bit in when we go to the pool... I hope I will have some more progress on both of these projects very soon...

Hubby has been out of town and believe it or not my house is clean, laundry is done, supper has been on the table, business is running smoothly, and I have been able to get some knitting done... Woohoo... The boys on the other hand are missing daddy and counting down the days on when he will return... I don't tell hubby but I am missing him too... My puppy has been my sleeping partner which has helped... We have a lot planned for this weekend to keep the boys occupied...

Have a Great Week!!!

Is Spring HERE???

OHHH Goodness, I hope so!!! The weather has been on the mild side and I am hoping it only gets better... We are suppose to get some nasty rain this weekend but I will take that over ICE!!!!

I have been knitting... I PROMISE!!!! I have been knitting a baby dress for a girlfriend and the "We call them Pirates" hat. I also have been knitting on a sock.

I did buy a skein of Blue Moon Fiber Arts "Foo Foo" the other day.. I cannot wait to get that in... It was shipped so I should get it very soon!!!!

Don't you LOVE this handsewn drawstring sock bag!!!! Guess who made it??? Not ME!!! ROFL!!! My dearest mother has been making a TON of these!!!! I think Plumpy is a little jealous since I have been teasing her about it... I think on of these little cutey patooties are in her future REAL SOON!!!! My mom is going to start selling these puppies!!! She also has made me a knitting needle holder!!!! I will have to get a picture of that too!!!! The sock bag is reversible!!! I just LOVE it!!! She has made smaller ones and bigger ones!!!!

We are planning on going to some LYS to gawk at some yarn this weekend!!! I cannot wait!!!! I think I am having withdraws with fondling some yummy yarn!!!

I will definitely posts some pics if I buy some yummy yarn!!!

Have a GREAT weekend!!!

SOME PICS TO SHOW OFF!!!

I truly have been working on my knitting projects!!!! I have, really!!!! I finished a Brea Bag from Berroco and it came out adorable... It is on the small size but still very cute!!! I did it in the Charcoal Tweed from Bernat... The yarn is very hard to photograph...

I also finish seaming my hoodie shrug and have been working on the hoodie part. I am hoping I will finish the hood and then do the 8 rows of ribbing and be DONE!!!!! I will say this, Raglan was not my friend in all of this but I did get the hang of seaming the arms and sides up... If I do another sweater project I know it will not be Raglan... I might tackle that again some other time...



I have seen so many eye candy sock yarn lately that my mouth is just drooling thinking about it... I have a couple of skeins of yarn that I will be ordering VERY SOON!!!! It was my Birthday Wednesday and Hubby said that I could order my Knit Picks Option needles.... YEAH!!!! He asked me if that is REALLY what I wanted.... LIKE, DUH!!!! So anyway, I will be ordering them as well!!!! I guess some socks are in my future...

I cannot wait to start on something else... I will be happy when the shrug is off the needles!!!!

It looks like we will be getting some accumulation this weekend... The meteorologists don't even want to say what we will be getting....LOL!!!! I guess with all the ice we just got last week... I hope we get SNOW!!!!! We WANT SNOW!!!! Not ICE!!!! Whatever it is I will be cuddled up under a blanket with some needles!!!

Have a Great Weekend and Stay Warm!!!! And for those of you that have warm weather all year.... I am so jealous!!!!
