blogging from work

I thought I would give this a try. I figured that I spend more time here on this computer at work than I do with the one at home. So I'm sitting here at work updating my blog when I should be doing some work. So here is what I've been doing lately. I've made a few hats and gloves and I'm tired of them for right now. I started working on a sock again. The pattern is from Nancy Bush Knitting on the Road book and it called Denmark. I'm using Miss Bags: "Yummy Hand-painted sport & sock yarn in Suede Rose. Lets just say its another United sock, I think I've knitted most of it right here in my chair.
Right behind my sock is one of my new sock project bags that I got made on my last day off. I've got a lot made and maybe one day I will start selling them on-line who knows.
Ok I have to do a flash back here. The song that is playing on my Ipod right now is Pink Cadillac from Bruce Springsteen. It takes me back to Macy's in New York City doing my music video to that song. I'm glad that song is over now its onto the Muppet Movie "I hope something better comes along".
I've got to go now, its 1900 and now I have work to do. Have to start get the paper work done for tomorrow morning so see who will be checking in. I hope you all have a wonderful Turkey day. I hope my turkey won't still be frozen on Thursday. Until next time keep smiling and stay stay safe.

New Hobbie

Lets start by saying that Brian and I went up to Sumas to visit my Mom and Dad. We had an early Thanksgiving dinner and I got a sewing lesson. Bev started making sock project bags and she had made me two. I was thinking and thinking in my head that I could make those, make those but did I want to start a new Hobie. Bev said they were easy to make and she sat down and put one together very quickly.

I ended up with the pattern and on the way home Brian and I stopped by and bought some fabric. When we got home I said see you later and off to my room I went. I ended up making two bags for myself and using all the fabric that I bought, so on Saturday off to buy more. I made three more bags and a matching coffee cozie for one that I made of Friday. Now its time to make Christmas gift for my sock knitting friends.



Not much else has been going on. I've been knitting more fingerless gloves and hats. The set I'm working on now is a pair that I will be getting paid for. Cool. That it is for now I can't think of anything else to write. Until next time stay safe, happy and dry. Happy knitting.
