Currently on needles

That is a loaded statement. I have TONS on needles.....

I am currently knitting....

a sock!

It is the August Tofutsies exclusive color.

I am making it
(because I do not have the pattern - sore subject - but I am letting it go)
with this pattern.
I love how it is knitting up.

(insert picture here - oh I can't my PC is dead)

I call it my Fruit loop sock.

The first is done and I am almost ready to turn the heel on my second sock. They started out as socks for Nat - then they looked big - so they were mine.

Then - Nat put them on today - and they look absolutely adorable as knee highs on her!

Needless to say - the red headed curly one
(Rowan)
has claimed the June collection special as hers.

I am going to attempt to knit them on circulars as my friends on the yahoo tofutsies group swear it's a nobrainer and I will take to it with little issues. Deb - directed me to a few www's and I am hoping I can get the hang of it. I would like to do two at a time.......

Do I hear laughter???????

WIP - not alone

I am sitting at my desk trying to get charts done and other excel nonsense stuff and I started to check on my bloglines. I saw this post at the Yarn Harlot and immediately felt.......

Inspired - maybe -

• at the idea that there is hope for my WIP's sitting in my clothes basket and knitting bags ready to go on a moments notice. Last night - as I was looking at them - I thought I heard them whispering "what about me.... did you lose interest in my pattern? yarn? color?"

• at the idea that it is okay to have more than one project going because I get side tracked by another yarn, pattern or color way????

• at pulling my WIP out and get going on them???? (not quite)

Enabled - DEFINITELY.

So if you need a little enabling (or inspiration) check out her post from today!

Knit On!

Stitches

I haven't forgotten......

That I went that is......

I stuck to my budget (thank you Lorinda) and I am very happy that I did. However, I did spend my budget at Habu. You have to have HABU! Habu Fascinates me. I love their matrix like patterns and I love LOVE their unique yarn.

I hope to have pictures of my purchase up by the weekend.

It's just been hectic around here and all I want to do is sit an chill, sit and knit, sit and scrapbook, sit and read......

It's not looking to promising though......

One knitter at a time.....

So - not like I have pictures.... but I had to share....


The other night my friend Sesil joined me at Knit Night at SASI! How most awesome was this. Sesil is prego with her THIRD baby and is absolutely radient! She has wanted to knit for EVER - and I finally persuaded to get her to come. I showed her how to CAST ON and knit her first row.... I began my Be Sweet (to die for) magic ball scarf and forgot about her for about ten minutes. Then I looked over and she was about FIVE rows into her first scarf. Now - she is by far - the quickest learner I have come across and she is doing awesome. Why did she finally learn???? She had the THREE hour GLUCOSE test and needed something to do with her hands to take her mind off the nasty taste left in her mouth and not being able to eat or drink..... From what I understand she is half way through her scarf now!!!!! YOU GO SESIL!!!!!!

Tracing back - I have four other friends who have started knitting because I enabled them.

• Emily - pregnant also - picked up the sticks when she was on a trip here during the summer. Nesting has made her a knitter.....
• Kristi - not pregnant but a nurse (like Emily) - picked up the sticks in the late spring. She is now a regular member of Knit Night even though she has to finagle her work and school schedule to do it. You knit on sister!
• Zoey - who is not pregnant, nor a nurse - but Natalie's friend. She picked up sticks in response to her mother (un-beknownst to me) showing up at knit nite. Zoey can over for a play date and we (Nat and I) hooked her up! YOU KNIT ON GIRLFRIEND!
• Christine - who is not pregnant - but is a nurse - and a very dear friend. I roped her into knitting about three weeks after I was hooked and needed a companion to enable me! (As if I need enabling?) Together we are knitting the Braided Vogue scarf - and predict it will be done sometime in the year 2010.
  

I am quite proud of this round up... and even better - they are all still knitting!!!! I can't wait for the next person I invite into the secret (but not so secret) society of KNIT NITE!
