Picture Day!

Here are some pictures of the knitting... I know, I know... I've been stuck to my Crackberry too much lately to blog.  I'm sorry.  Here is Sue's Shawl.  I get to give it to her in a week or so!  :) 


And here is Ari, the sweater I'm making for me!  :) 


We leave Tuesday for our trip.  I'm bringing plenty of yarn for bibs and some other things.  I'm hoping to keep occupied in the car.  Although, I'm sure that the Boy will keep me plenty busy.  LOL  Not sure when I'll be able to blog again.  Have a wonderful time everyone!  :)

Crackberry and other such distractions

I've been knitting a little bit.  Not much, but a little.  I think I'm hitting my goal of a 1/2 hour a day, though.  Most of Amy/Alfred's bibs and washcloths are done.  I just have to finish 1 side of the Icord on the last bib and I'm done. 

I've decided to work on the Melara Twins' bibs and such in the car on THE TRIP.  I'm pretty sure I can get them done on the first day or 2 and then I'll be really bored.  Kidding... I'll try to take extra projects just in case.  :)  We need to buy a van or SUV so that I can bring more knitting on trips.  Good idea, don't you think?  (That one got the raised eyebrow from Jerry.  LOL)  I mean... really... 4 days in a car out to Kansas?  I'm going to need quite a bit to entertain me. 

So part of the reason that there has not been so much knitting... Crackberry... I mean Blackberry.  Yep... The Gustafsons have entertained this century and gotten Blackberries.  Only because the phones were free, though.  LOL  Our plan will go up a bit, but we're cutting back in other areas to afford it.  Like... cutting down the cable.  We're going to basic.  We really don't watch it much anyway.  We got our Wii disc for Netflix and guess what... that's all we watch.  So why pay for something we don't use?  Anywho...

The Boy's birthday party was Friday night too.  So not so much knitting Friday and then there was the recovery from said party.  LOL  Today is his birthday.  He was born 2 years ago at 8:22 p.m.  Where did the time go???

I've decided that I am going to start a sweater for me.  Sort of.  Its a bolero type cover called Ari.  I want to wear it over a dress of mine.  I might make this for the brown dress too.  However, I have a nice light blue Berroco Comfort left that will look nice over a dusty blue dress of  mine, I think.  :)  This is a test to see how this sweater knits. Then Wendy wants one for HER dress.  LOL  I may just go into the shrug/bolero making business. 

Well, that's how things have been going over here in my world.  Crazy as usual!  ;)
