I am insane it is offical.

So on top of the sweater of doom

Which by the way has not seen much action. I am also working on Clap in pink (getting ever closer!) Clap in evita is next, then I have a sock swap to participate in. /le sigh.
Then there is also the ornament that I am making for my Mama. (sorry no pics until after December 31. This is a surprise knit a long. The hostess posts the pattern and everyone knits it. Then we reveal what it is. So no lookie until later.
Funny story.
I opened the hank of Mmmmmalbrigo so that I could add it to Clap in Pink and put the waste yarn that was holding the skein together on the floor next to me. Once finished winding the yarn into a ball I turned to get the waste yarn and noticed that it was gone. I went looking for it only to find Gypsy doing this...


No that is not cat puke coming out of her mouth that is the waste yarn that I couldn't find. By the time that i found her she had already felted the malabrigo waste yarn together. Needless to say I have to hide Clap in Pink when not being knitted. She is starting to show interest in it. *face palm
The thought for today?
Dance!

Passion

I am already lining up projects for next christmas! Gah.
I have decided that Mom needs a cardigan that I found in Knit Simple I would link a pic but there is none on the site. Trust me when I say that mom would love it. For those that are wondering what issue and what pattern it is, its in the Holiday issue and the pattern is called Fair Isle Jacket. It just looks like something that Mom would wear. I really REALLY want to start it now. However that is just silly as I have a ton of holiday knitting to finish as it is. Plus I think that TJ would lock me in a looney bin. I must finish that mans sweater.
We also finally put up the tree last night. I just have not been in the christmas mood lately. Too many things going wrong around here for me to get excited about it. I am just ready for the season to be over. Anyway...

Don't take my picture Devil Woman!
Darn house is so small that four boxes take up the whole floor. /le sigh
Off to finish holiday knitting. I am going to stitch n' bitch tonight. Really looking forward to the down time. No thinking required only knitting and talking. Ahhhhh.
Passionately,
Dee

Okay then

Well finals are over! I know that is why they call them finals 'cause you can't help yelling FINALLY! after the last test. Yes i realize that was lame but I am a bit slap happy from a week of comprehensive testing. So it is onto Christmas knitting like a mad woman. I have officially given up on the baby blanket just because I can't look at it without feeling upset about it. However! All is not lost! I found a bunch of 12 inch squares that I crocheted back when I was a hooker that are big enough to seam together and make a baby blanket. They are very lacy and open so there will most defiantly be a backing to this thing. I am thinking about doing sort of like a quilt. You know back, batting, top material, then sewn on crocheted top. Which TJ would like just because it would require using my sewing machine. I don't know we shall see. Clap in pink is coming along beautifully. Still have a bit to knit on it. Like half. but it is coming along. The sweater of Doom is stalled until I can finish the Christmas knitting then it is full speed ahead on that thing. I would really like to finish it before next semester starts but I don't see that happening. I should, however, be able to complete the body.
Off to knit more!

*I realize that is not a word but cut me some slack here. I used up all the brain power on finals. Must. Go. Recharge.

100th post and other things...

Wow I must enjoy talking to myself because this is my 100th post! I really did not expect to have kept up with this blog for very long let alone over a year. Anyway on to the stuff that you are really here for.

MY BOX OF FIBER CAME!!!
Ahem.
Wanna see pictures? The stuff that Heather sent me is so gorgeous and soft OMG. (Excuse me while I wipe the drool away) The natural stuff came with some dye so that I could do my own dying that stuff includes some Columbia wool, some merino/silk mix, bamboo, and some of what I think says hemp but I am not quite sure the words got smuged. but ohhhh this stuff was worth the wait. Now I have to get my wool in that was being processed and I will be complete :) Heather by the way is from All Things Heather She sells her stuff just so that you know.
Pics Now!

Still Buried...

Under piles of homework, however that pile is noticeably smaller. So just a short post to show you the beauty that is the clap in pink. Not done yet but creeping ever closer.




No sign of my boxes of fiber yet so I am still stalking the mailman although I think that I should give it until Monday to get anxious but...well...you understand.
Off to finish yet another assignment!

Almost here...

I just got an email from the woman that I swapped the machine for fiber stating that the box is on its way!!!! I am so thrilled. Also the wool that I sent off to be processed is on its way as well. That mail man is soo getting stalked. I have 2 more tests to evaluate and then I am done. Finally. I am so sick of working on homework that it isn't even funny. Anywho pictures of clap later (not done, just further along)
