Keeping Me In Stitches

Blog loser

That's me. Blog loser.

It just seems to me that I would rather knit than blog about knitting LOL.
I will keep the blog because I do like posting pictures of WIP and FOs. I just don't have much to talk about it seems.

A lot has been going on around here. I have four children that keep me quite busy. I also work on the weekends, double shifts...often 10-12 hrs per weekend day. And as if that weren't enough, I start back to college next month. It's definitely going to crimp my knitting time. Unless I can sneak my knitting into the classrooms LOL.

I will try, you can count on that.

I have been busy though. I've made several hats, three pair of children's mittens, half a dozen pair of cabled wrist warmers (they are addictive). I lost interest in the Branching Out as soon as I had memorized the pattern. Clapotis still eludes me. I think I'm bored with that too. I've made one sock...in my defense the pair are for dh and he has HUGE 11" long feet. Add in size 1 dpns and that's alot of B-O-R-I-N-G knitting round & round & round & round. Plus the wounds to my fingertips from poking the needle. OUCH. He may get the other one in time for Easter lol.

Here are a couple of pictures of FO's.






These were done with Red Heart (gasp! Acrylic!) Strata. I like it. The striping on the red/green/white/yellow/blue is a bit off. The mittens were a b*tch to make twins. But they are for my boys, who will no doubt get them filthy and maybe even lose them.

That is, if we ever get any snow!
