Single Cable Big D's scarf: check!

I know, it has been a while since my last post, but he life of a Navy-paralegal-knitter-mommy-doggy PO (PO = Petty Officer), is quite hectic. Also I was working on my appellate brief, which will be considered as my final exam... Wish me luck! Well, so I finished a single-cable scarf for Big D (AKA hubby), and it came out precious! I used Farmhouse yarns in "Storm". I just love Farmhouse yarns, they are so unique... and I can be 100% sure that nobody will ever have the exact same scarf. Thanks Carol! On the other hand, I started Lil' D' (AKA Babyboy) camouflage sweater. I usually don't like to use acrylic, but this new "camouflage" from Bernat is, to my surprise, super soft. It feels really nice, and the prints are awesome. I got a couple of pics, I hope you like them. Also, I went to Mystic Yarns last saturday and, as always, they had some yarns (Rowan) with 50% off, as well as some Rowan magazines, sitch n' bitch nation, and the little box of sweaters, all of them at 50 % off. Amazing uh?

Finally got a chance to upload pics...

Well, I've been quite busy lately... I had to prepare a court brief for one of my college courses... busy, busy, busy!... But thanks God I am done... Now I have to write an appellate brief... But that is my final paper. Well here are some pics of my latest projects. One is a pink scarf that I made with Lumpy Bumpy of Farmhouse Yarns, red heart and Fun Fur, just for the heck of it. I had just bought my "speed hook" and I wanted to try it on. The second one is the front piece of my Knit.1 mag leaf pattern tank top, in cotton-ease from Lion Brand. The third one is my orange glove with "salmon" from Farmhouse Yarns. I love it! but it came out a little too big, I am going to try the other hand with the reduced measures, hopefully it comes out right.

Also, I just joined the "Knitting Circle", a local group of fellow groovy knitters... Our first meeting will be on Tuesday, November 27th at Borders in Waterford. I know I will meet a lot of cool people there.

Well, enjoy the pics!

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
