Update

On my days off I went to Renanissance Yarn and I bought more yarn for hats. They where surprise that I did not buy any sock yarn only yarn for hats. They even had the new Nora sock yarn and Colinette Jitterbug yarn too, but I was good I did not even buy. They also told me of the new items that they were getting in next week.

I gave up on my fingerless gloves for some reason they were not working for me. I started working on another pair of socks. This pair is called Seahawks socks of Kindness. I'm using Hazel Knit Yarns in Home team color. The pattern is called Socks of Kindness. The pattern is very easy I'm already on the foot actually today I should be doing the toe. Then again I'm working on the afternoon shift and working the weekend. On Saturday I had one crew checking in around 3:00 pm and the next one was not until 10:00pm so there was plenty time to knit and then there was Sunday and it was about the same for the crews coming in. Today the last crew checking in is at sometime in the 3:00 pm hour. So I hope to finish today.

Knitting at Work

I'm happy that I have a job that will allow me to knit when my work is done. Last week I was able to finish Snape. There was not much happening at work so I just keep knitting. I think they turned out good. I haven't wore them yet maybe tomorrow. I got another head cold and I could really think on my days off so I couldn't think of what to knit next. I tried one thing and then that did not seem right then I tried to knit something else.

I ended up knitting my Fake Isle hat on Friday. I finished it today, 1/2 hour before the end of my day at work. Everyone thought I was knitting a purse, nope wrong a hat. I think I got it done just in time, boy it was cold walking out to my car. No one has to wait to see me in it. Now decision of what to knit next, a pair of fingerless gloves or the Seahawks socks. I guess I will flip a coin.

New Year

I hope everyone had a fun and safe New Years Eve. Brian and I went over to some friends house to watch the fireworks after I got off work. The next day was spent driving around to make sure the deal Brian found was a good one. We bought a new car!! Brian found us 2003 Acura TL with 38,000 miles in Pearl White. It is just like the Black one. I've named the cars Salt and Pepper. We are going to share the new car, but it is mine. We don't want to rack up the miles on it so that is why I got it.

I used my gift certificate that Cherina gave me for Christmas. It was to Blue moon fiber arts for $25. It was one of the best gifts that I got. I order two skeins of yarn.

The one on the Left is Falcons eye and the one the right is Lunasea. They both look better in person that on the computer. I don't know what I will make with them, but I still wanted to have them.

I'm still working on my Snape socks. I've got the first one done and I've started working on #2. There are other projects that I want to do, but I'm not going to start them until Snape is totally done. The problem is that I am having is with my hands. They have been hurting real bad. They joints in my fingers mainly my right hand hurt. So I haven't been doing much knitting which SUCKS. I better stop typing so I can get back to knitting before they start hurting again....
