Froggin’ the shawl

Sadly, sadly I realized that my pattern for the antique red shawl wasn’t going to be large enough. Damn you guage calcualtion!

But it will work out alright, I think bottom up for this shawl will work better anyway. Don’t know what detail I am going to do on it but it will be boring old garter stitch for the body of it.

I also had a productive Sat night. I actually finished the mohair sweater. It’s from the stitch n bitch book but I can’t recall the name…to dye for…that’s it!~

I didn’t dye it myself cuz I loved the colors in the mohair I had. But oh am I excited to wear it! yay!

Saturday spring cleaning

Whew! Today was the day George forced me to get control over my yarn storage in the garage. Funny how I was done over an hour ago &  he is still cleaning up his own tools! ;p

Of course a picture of my clean set up is included below. As well as my mom’s poncho that I completed last night. Yay!

Now I just have to prioritize the rest of my projects to get them done. whew, that makes me breathe hard just thinking about it!

What a loser am I that I have not attended one stitch n bitch meeting of our local Santa Barbara group. As soon as Tracy, my bf, is here I think I will be motivated to be social. As it is the 4 in my fam to keep me company is more than enough.

l8r sK8r’s!

Making a little progress

So basically I have been working more on the blog & pics getting posted than on actual knitting. Oh that is just the way it goes I suppose.

I am only 5 rows away from being finished with my mom’s poncho for mother’s day. Pretty rad if I do say so myself. I am just chompin’ at the bit to get some intricate work going on fun pieces instead of big bulky work.Not that i don’t like my #19’s or anything, they are just getting a little too much use.

Tonight there won’t be much that will get done because the hubby is treatin’ me & the chilluns to dinner in downtown Santa Barbara. Let’s just pray that the kids at least attempt to behave…although I have pretty much given up all hope of that really happening. ;o) Gotta love those free spirits!
