Technical Difficulties!

Good Morning!!!  I am posting from the Only Ewe computer!!!  Our internet was down this morning and I didn't have time to mess around with it because I soooooo needed to get over here :)  I missed Tuesday Night Knitting group because I had a couple of long days at the cafe and need to be at home but I plan to head over to Noble Knitters tonight as well and I get tomorrow off - Yippee :)  Talk to you tomorrow!

A Little Bit of Swing

Good Progress on my little diversion even with some frogging to get the gauge right...  I am using Debbie Bliss Prima (80% Bamboo / 20% Wool - DK weight) that has been waiting in my stash for just the right project ... I think this is it!

It will grow up to be a staple wardrobe piece (in everyone's wardrobe hopefully :)) Simple but with some secret special details :)  Everyone needs to learn the tubular cast on for when you are doing k1 p1 rib - I just love it!!!

Nice Easter yesterday - DSJ came for lunch (and his Easter Basket, of course :))  We relished the beautiful weather - I do believe Spring has Sprung!

Happy Easter!!!

First cut of Flutterby is finished - this is a cute easy-to-knit Capelet (a little different than the norm :)) designed for Plymouth Yarn "Athena" (a calmed down texture-y little bit sparkly novelty yarn)  Take 2 will need to incorporate a couple of modifications and then it will be ready :)  On a slight side trip right now thanks to MFM (no pressure, right?) - a little swingy summer cardigan - no details yet but they will be forthcoming soon...

Happy Easter Everyone!  Have a wonderful day with Family and Friends!

Unplanned Visit - Happy Happy Joy Joy!

DSJ came by yesterday for a visit and stayed for dinner without much twisting of arms!  He is great and enjoying his job, looks great from some good physical work (lifting much 100 lb cables and such) and good sleep (he has figured out that going to bed early is a good idea when you must get up for work each day :))  He is working on the audio / visual wiring for a soccer stadium - pretty cool!  It was great to see him and really great to know for sure that he is doing well...we have been in contact by phone but face-to-face is a gazillion times better!!! :)

DDK is heading to Florida with a friend's family tomorrow for a little spring break in the sun - we will miss her but glad that she gets to go away - she has been working really hard at her schoolwork and deserves a fun little break.

Here's a few pics of Rissotto and Flutterby.  I apologize profusely for the early morning lighting (or lack of it) ... hopefully you can get the idea!  Rissotto is being test knit now and will be available very shortly - class to be posted for Thursday or Saturday sessions starting next week.

Wake up You Sleepheads!

Good Morning!!!  Just a quick post to let you know I am not losing steam again but alas, I have an opening shift today...just counting my blessings as it is the only one this week :)  I wish everyone a wonderful day!

Anniversary!!!

DHJ and I are celebrating our 26th Anniversary today - it's hard to believe how quickly the years have passed and almost 10 years now in GA!

Now for pictures from the Easter Swap!  Check out these cute catnip bunnies!!!

And see how much Magellan and Isabella are loving them! :)  I think this is the prettiest picture EVER of Magellan!

And Finally...the gorgeous skein of Plain and Fancy Yarn from MFD (the wheels are turning as I found a couple of skeins in my stash that can be combined to create a very cool cardigan) 

The Cat is in the Doghouse

A certain feline (no naming names but she is blackish and sweet and NOT White and Gray or fluffy :)) decided it was high time that we cleaned behind the dryer (not to mention the dryer vent) - That's why she is not in BIG trouble - we discovered that 7 (almost 8) years actually yields a fair amount of debris!  This little sweetie-pie; however, decided to disconnect the vent instead of giving a more subtle hint - let's just say...good way to heat and humidify the house!!!

Off to work ... today is my 7 am shift ... much better than opening! :) (but that comes Thursday:(
