A few FOs

I've got a few FO's to post as well as some stash acquisition.

I finished the Multi-Directional Scarf. It was a quick and fun knit. It works great for a PS3 Earth Element knit...even if I did technically finish it in March.

As for PS3 Fire element, I am still working on the socks. I'm actually trying to make these socks match so we'll see how that works out for me. The first one is finished and I cast on and finished the ribbing on the second sock tonight at MisKnits knit night. I've been going to knit night for a few weeks now and I'm really enjoying it. For the last year or so I have just been knitting at home by myself. I love the company and am having a lot of fun seeing what other people are knitting and getting to have "knitspeak" and talk about Ravelry. Of course that also means I've been buying more yarn...but we just don't mention that to DH!


I also purchased the new Yarn Harlot book and I love it. I'm reading it slowly so I can prolong the enjoyment. I also bought some new sock yarn at MisKnits, Happy Feet.

It's beginning to look a lot like Spring!

Green is quickly becoming my new favorite color

Bulbs I planted in the fall are starting to come up in the flowerbed.


Multidirectional Scarf (ravelry link). I'm really enjoying this pattern. The short rows are fun and go fairly quickly. Notice the very windy day we are having. Typical of Spring in the Midwest.

Project Spectrum 2008

I decided to participate in Project Spectrum this year. I love the element theme. February/March are Fire. I had this Trekking XXL sock yarn that I was going to make Jaywalkers out of but it they were too tight so I frogged them. Now I am just making a generic sock based on the Yarn Harlot's pattern. I really like the bright colors and the blue stripe is fun.

First 2008 post

Wow, I just realized that I haven't posted at all this year. To be honest, I haven't really knit much either. Once the holidays were over, work was crazy. Then it was vacation time. We just got back yesterday from Disney World. So much fun. Much better weather than at home. I'll try to get back into knitting in the next few weeks. I sure am looking forward to spring though after warm days in Florida. Maybe a Mickey Dishcloth will be just the thing.

2007 Recap

Everybody's doing it...so here goes. My 2007 recap

1. Finally got to go on a honeymoon after 2.5 years of marriage. DisneyWorld in January. We had a blast!

2. Bought our first house in April. Love it still!


3. Took some cooking classes

4. Got my Ravelry invite

5. Finally got promoted to the job I've actually been doing all year

6. Finished a few knitted objects. Not as many as I would have liked.
Irish Hiking Scarf
Garter Rib Socks
Dishcloths

I don't really have any resolutions for next year. The usual - lose weight, get in better shape, be more financially secure, take a vacation, etc.

For knitted goals I would like to: Finish Branching Out, make myself another pair (or two) of socks, make my first sweater, buy some STR, and learn color knitting.

Here's hoping that everyone has a great New Years! Happy 2008 Ya'll!
