Busy day at the office

Today was super dooper busy at the office... Lots of things going on. I couldn't wait to come back to the house and get going with my new project: a pair of orange gloves. I love the yarn! Is just so perfect, looks like a leaf that just fell out of a tree... It is orange but has this little hint of yellow, very subtle... Also, today I received my holiday issue of knit simple... I love the "going coastal" designs... When you get your issue, you will know what I am talking about. Well, gotta get going, I owe you some pics of my green leaf tank top and the new project.

XOXO

Another beautiful fall day...
I love fall... And winter... and spring... and summer... I think every season is just beautiful... I drove to East Haddam las friday. It was very rainy and windy, but the color of the trees were just so beautiful... Well, I went to a huge Yarn sale in East Haddam. The pricing was awesome and the drive made it all even more worth it. Right now I am working on a leaf tank top that was featured in knit 1. Is coming out beautiful!!! I just have the front of it, but it looks awesome! I am so happy because is my first intermediate project, and is looking good... My next project will be a couple of orange gloves... I am a little scared because I've been going through the pattern, and there are some things that I haven't seen before... But I don't worry until I am actually working on the pattern.

Also, I went to AC Moore yesterday, and for some reason, those knifty knitters have got my attention lately... I wonder if you can do sweaters, or tank tops with that... I've heard about hats, scarves and afghans, but I don't know about sweaters...

I don't know if I mentioned, but I am in the Navy... And today I learned that I might be going to Iraq in December... Highlighting the word MIGHT please... If I have to go, I will, but I am so crossing my fingers...

I will be posting pics of my projects pretty soon...

XOXO
