I went to Knit 'n Knibble for S.E.X.!!!!!!!

I must admit,I stole that line from NamasteJulie.

Knit 'n Knibble had their 2009 Anniversary Sale on Saturday. I was one of the top 50 purchasers for the previous year. That gave me the privilege of private shopping on Friday ($305 and change) and then went back on Saturday and because I was on of the first 25, I got a coupon for an additional 5% on yarn purchases. Good thing, too, since I spent another $328.

I also won a door prize: A cardigan kit from Reynolds that had 15 hanks of Ole! Ole! and the pattern. Really nice.

Most of that yarn has been added to my "stash" on Ravelry. And while I adding that I also added some more of my previous stash.

I really need to retire so I can concentrate on my family, Yorkies and knitting.

Well have to make plane reservations to fly to Kansas to get my granddaughter. She is spending 2 weeks with me in Florida. Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Catching Up!

Been super busy! I'm getting ready to have my only grandchild stay with me for 2 weeks without her Mom. I'm so stoked!

We are going to Cypress Gardens Adventure Park and she is going to have a private knitting lesson at Knit 'n Knibble. Then there's swimming and Yorkie puppies and Disney World when her Mom comes for a couple of days. My granddaughter hasn't been to Disney World yet.

Last weekend we saw Lynyrd Skynryd in concert. That was a hoot.

I have completed some knitting projects and have taken several classes at Knit 'n Knibble.com

More later, on to an exciting summer!

I have been absent for a long time! Sorry:(

On January 14th the grandpuppies were born by c-section and we lost the mommy to cardiac arrest. So a bunch of mixed feelings and a lot of late nights bottle feeding the 5 pups. She had 1 girl and 4 boys. We are keeping the girl, now named Baby Girl and the runt, now named Tinker Toy. They all have their eyes open and eat alot. Pics and more news of the pups to come.

WOW,another week gone and I wish I could knit more. (0r what do I do about the babies?)

Only worked 3 days this week and it seemed like forever and at the same time flew by. I have almost finished the second Lucy bag. I should finish the knitting this weekend and cast on the third one.

I really need to get busy on two of the other projects I have listed in Ravelry. One of them is my daughter's graduation sweater or she will be thirty when she gets it (today is her 28th birthday) and the Patti Sweater. The Patti sweater is for a class and we have to have the lower back panel and lower front panels and the lower part of the sleeves. The pattern is from one from the Noro Revisited and is called Bettna.

More later....

Found something else I have to have!

Well I got the MP3 player and took it off my wishlist. I love it. I definitely will use it. I am still learning how to do things to it and with it.

Now I will add an upcoming DVD from Schoolhouse Press,Inc. Meg is doing a DVD on the Rib Warmer. Gotta have it.

I have challenged my best friend, Grandma Disney, to complete at least one knitting or crocheting project a month in 2008. They don't have to be projects that have been started in 2008, just finished in 2008. So far have finished 2 this year. I completed the knitting last year and wove in the ends this week.

I will get quite a bit of knitting done this weekend because I am on call starting at 10PM tomorrow night.

TTFN!!

P.S.

I cast on the second Lucy Bag (called Kenten's Lucy Bag on Ravelry) on Tuesday. It is now more than 70% done. The knitting will be done tomorrow or Saturday. I want to be able to cast on the third one by Sunday.

Woohoo! The 3 Lucy Bags will be part of my 12 projects completed in 2008 and two of them are either birthday or Christmas presents for this year. I'm on a roll!

WooHoo! I had to edit my wishlist today.

I got my MP3 player today. I chose the Creative Labs Zen 4GB because it is small and extendable through the use of SD cards. The sound quality is great and the Zen is easy to use.

Bob and I are spending a quiet evening at home for this New Year's Eve. I am knitting and surfing the web.

I added the badge and banner (with Caroline's blessing, she sent me the logo) for the Friends of Knit 'n Knibble group on Ravelry. Now we are just as fancy as the other ones. Thanks, Caroline.

Bob and I are spending a quiet eveing at home for this New Year's Eve. I am just knitting and surfing the web.

Well, that is all for this year, see ya next year......

Lucy Bag #1 Status

I started my first Lucy Bag on Christmas Eve in the evening and finished knitting it and kitchenering the straps this evening. I still have to weave in a few ends and felt it.

I bought 4 skeins of Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool on clearance at Michael's a couple of years ago because I had seen the pattern on the Lion Brand web site. Their site said that it required 2 skeins of the Fisherman's Wool. Little did I know that I would only need a little bit of the second skein. Now I have enough for 2 more. I guess I will make 2 more for gifts, maybe Christmas presents for next year.

Little by little I am getting all my stuff into Ravelry. GEEZ! I knew I had a big stash and a bunch of WIPs but now I am face-to-face with it all. I think I will put some of the yarn on eBay once I get it all entered into Ravelry. I love that site. I have been going through the "For the Love of Ravelry" forum and looking at all the planned enhancements. For a site that is beta it is beyond great! Casey, Jess and all of your volunteers: that is one helluva site.

Most of the enhancements that I would want are already in the planning stages.

I have to go back to work on Wednesday and I would really rather be retired. Contrary to what my mom says, I think I could find plenty to keep me busy - knitting, dogs, yard, reading.....

More tomorrow!
