creeping ever closer...

I have been working on my lovley sweater for TJ and got the sleeves seperated so for now it is a mindless knit. I just have to make sure that I do not shut my mind all the way off. I end up with a few rows of stockinette that way. I also have block number 2 almost done on my miter square blanket for the soon to be neice. I know that I was going to use my own handspun but the more I knit on it the less that I wanted to give it away. I think that I am going to try to dye it and then make a blanket for little Phia. I swear that Phia is going to be the most spoiled child on the face of the planet. Ahhh well it is all in the name of knitting! or something like that. I also have on order yarn for 2 scarves. one for the SIL and the other for el sista. She sees this blog on occasion so that is all that I will be saying on that one. I got the yarn from yarny bits She sells beautiful stuff. I orderd 6 skeins for a total of 50 and some change. Not bad I must say. Anyway gotta go pick up the mini me's from school so I am off.

At Last!

The sweater of Doom is ready for sleeve seperation!! I have been "almost to sleeve seperation" for a month now. Last night I finally did it! So I took it off the needles and tried it on TJ (who of course HATES to have his pic taken le sigh) It even looks like I am trying to make a sweater. I was certain that I would make some invisible (to me) error that would render the sweater alien like. But seriously check it out...


Lovely... er Handsome.
Off to school!

This was hanging out on our house today when the kids and I were leaving to get to school. Of course I had to take pictures.

Then Gypsy had to inspect this intruder. Not a very interesting intruder however because she just let it be.

Of course what post would be complete without a little bit of Phia?

Much homework must be done so I am off. TJs sweater of doom is roughly 6 increases away from sleeve seperation so update pics coming soon!

Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

I really am here... sorta

School has been completely insane. The closer that we get to graduation the more work that they pile on us. I am not looking forward to next semester. UUugh.
Ziggy started preschool yesterday I think that he took it better than I did. He had loads of fun and decided that school isn't as scary as what he thought that it would be. I on the other hand was anxious the whole time that he was there. You would think that after putting 3 other kids through preschool I would be better prepared to handle the first day.

I am going to re-invent the tank that I designed for Phia and see if I can't get it published. That would be so amazing to get published!
Homework calls so I must answer.
