Jeeze...a Month Already

Yep, it's been a loooong time since I last posted. I really have no excuses because I have had material or rather knitting to write about just no time or more like inclination to post. I'm thinking that this will be a quick drive by post...

What have I been up to? Well I made the decision to only knit on stuff that's been cast on like forever ago. Which means I have finished all but one item...the 2nd Basic Sock...done, the Nicole Jacket...done & even worn a few times and I finished up the Felted Brown Bag. My only project left to complete is the 2nd sleeve of the Shaped Edge Sweater which makes me feel pretty darn good...except I have nothing on the needles. Yikes! When I realized that I was down to only one lonely project I had to cast on something. I mean what if I decided I couldn't stand one more stitch of ribbing? So, of course, I cast on 2 somethings...first was a pair of socks using Grumperina's Jaywalker's

The second thing is the cutest snowman from Knitpicks...Lumpy which is a free pattern in both their last magazine and on line. One has been done just to test the waters so to speak...now a whole family is underway. I'm hoping to use them as Christmas wrapping ornaments. The plan is to knit up several with knitted caps, scarves & capes...here's hoping anyway!
