Pictures ahead

I do not have the fibery pics yet I have to mail the knitting machine to the lady first. I will be getting a box of fiber goodness along with dye and instructions. I am so looking forward to getting it, I just have to get my check so that I can mail. Anyway I thought that i would update youon my WIPs. They are moving along just not to quickly. No time to knit.
First off, the Sweater of Dooooom... I still think that it will be a bit big on TJ, but then again I am used to knitting baby stuff so we shall see. It is coming along though!

Next up the next section of the baby blanket. Yes the miters are done! (see below) I will be making this cable to go around the miters. After this I will be sewing the cables to the miter and then picking up stitches to do some simple garter around that. From there... who knows.

Miters are done. Needless to say I will not be knitting these again for a long while. I tried them that is all that matters. Or something like that... Gypsy says Hello!

Okay

Today has been an insane day. I kid you not. This morning I start the van to warm it up and manage to lock the keys in the car. Thank god for locksmiths. Then i get to school early and work on my homework. I later find out that I didn't have to do it that way. Then at the beginning of class we are given our testing order (preformance) and I am next to last on the list. So my partner and I get the teaming part of the test finished no problem. Once we were finished we had to wait in the classroom. Where us and 5 other people stayed until 3:30 because the indiviual test was too long for the whole class to finish on time. So now I get to go back tomorrow and record a 6 min dialouge because I couldn't wait any longer. not to mention the fact that i will only have 1 day to finish the lengthy analysis because of this problem. Sucks so bad.

I am done whineing for now, really great pics tomorrow. Right now i am to exhausted I can barely keep my eyes open.

P.S.- keep an eye out for fiber porn next week!

Totally crazy I am I am

Okay so here is what is on the needles and what is slated to be next.

1. TJ's Sweater of Dooom- Sleeves are seperated and knitting around and around for the body. yes I made TJ try it on to make sure that it would fit (I honestly think that it will be a tad big but the man will not allow me to measure him) Its funny, hes never been very interested in stuff I have been knitting but he is constantly looking at it and saying things like "Its really coming along isn't it" He is finally converting and all that it took was a sweater.

2. The baby blanket-This thing is going to be the death of me. I swear. I am on block number two, almost done with it. I think that I am going to do a really random blanket, free form all the way baby! I just have to hurry up. The kid will be here in a little over a month. ack.

supersecret project-I don't think that she reads my blog but to be safe this is on the list but not named. All I got to say about it is that it should be fast (I hope)

Kiri-At this rate It will never be finished. Poor Kiri.

Clapotis- not started yet because of the lack of yarn but it is a christmas gift so that will need to be started soon

scarf #2- Also waiting on yarn. this one will either be Clapotis or a cabled scarf not sure yet. Also a christmas gift

pin wheel jacket- The princess will have to wait on this because it should fit her to age 4. so I will continue to spin and dye the cotton needed for this project and just keep plugging on with everything else. I have 3 more years before she grows out it. I got time.

Okay so looking at the list makes me want to cry. Well I better get busy. I got a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it in. Pictures later when I am not so overwhelmed.
insanely yours,
Dee

Edited to add: We here at Tangled Fingers Diary would like to thank all of the click throughs and visitors that have stumbled through here since august. We have hit the 500 mark! Also I realized last night that this little Diary hit a year old September 12! Happy Birthday Blog!
Thanks all!

Just a quick how do ya do...

I finally got some RIT dye and took care of the boring white that is my spun cotton yarn. I still have about a pound of that stuff left to spin so not sure yet what I will make with it. (I am thinking the pinwheel sweater for the princess)
Here is my first batch:
yardage: roughly 115
yarn: cotton (got it pindrafted)

I love that it also came out slightly varigated (I had it folded into a hank for that purpose) Next two colors will be pink and purple. Woooo!
