Hiatus over....

Sorry for my absence. Last year was a mess...school, being called back to work,and trying to get married.  Little to no crocheting or knitting was done.  But, I am happy to say that is all over...I hope.  I have been crocheting and knitting. I've also found a couple sweaters I want to make out of the new Interweave Knits magazine(Betty's sweater).

Anywho......I am so glad to be back blogging. Leaving you with pics of some projects that have been or will be finished.

Gearing Up!

For the Ravelympics!!!!! I am so excited. The Winter Olympics start February 12th and I can't wait. I am participating in two events, WIP Dancing and Sock Hockey. I plan on finishing Mara and Justina by the end of the Olympics. My challenge is to do two socks on one circ. I have two socks I want to finish.....1 is for my mom and the other is just a simple sock pattern. I didn't want to overload myself.

Also, I am back in school. Luckily my classes aren't that involved where I will lose knitting/crochet time. This will allow my to get through the Olympics. I can't say that for this coming summer. I plan on taking math this summer and that is going to kill me. I hate math. I really suck at it. (Damn Algebra!)

My fiance gave me the great idea of planning a day cruise on the Detroit Princess this summer for the knit group I go to at City Knits and anyone else who would be interested. I've discussed it with some of the girls there and July would be a good month. Its still in the planning stages and I hope to give them the schedule and price list the lady provided me with from the ship. Hopefully, this thing gets up and rolling. It would be so much fun.

I so need to get some pics up of my recent projects. I hope to do this by next month. (I said "hope"....don't hold your breathe.)

Gadget Alert!!!!!

I heard about this some how and thought it was a good idea. I ordered mines through "yarn market" and it came this past Monday. I am pretty happy about the product . The only draw back is its pink and white. I don't like pink, but I will deal with it. Below is a picture of the back which holds scissors, stitch markers, and point protectors.Here is the picture of the front with row counter on top, crochet hook on the left, thread cutter upper right, and tape measure lower left. The row counter has a lock button right up under it....that is real handy. The tape measure has a button to release it and draw it back in.
Its a pretty good gadget. So, all of you gadget freaks go get it.
