I posted a new photo to WorksinProgressPhotos.

I won’t give anything away for those of you that have not finished hp6. All I will say is that I think that hp7 should be a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. There could be a possible 3 endings, in my opinion, to the series of HP. Hence, the use of the good old 80’s book genius, CYOA.

The genius of the book clip was how I got through my weekend of HP and knitting. I worked on my striped brown & turquoise s/s shirt done in the round so it was just as simple as knit, knit, knit! Not one dropped stitch I can brag! I also finished 13″ from the time I started knit/reading HP on Sat night at 8pm. Until I finished the book Sunday night. I did have to go to church yesterday morning so I missed out on all of Sunday morning reading. But church was well worth it!

I am going to make the sleeves today & then start on the raglan shaping. Fun huh? I think so!!

I have been casting on more projects than one person should be allowed to handle! I will do a list (who doesn’t love a list!) but first let’s talk about what has been accomplished!

I finished a yummy shrug out of handpaintedyarn in paris nights merino bulky wool. LOVE IT! Most useful piece of clothing for the springtime.

A pair of socks using self patterning sock yarn. Pretty pinks & reds, love them!

Random drop stitch scarves using scrap yarn from other projects.

Okay now for the list of needle whording projects:

*sweater from spring interweave knits

*Bella sweater from it’s a tape thing, Rowan using handpaintedyarn in bulky wool turquoise

*3 pair of socks

* woven stitch 400stitch scarf (from Knitty Gritty, don’t laugh!)

*aran sweater for my mom (starting Christmas early this year!)

*felted bag

*random hats, crochet & knit

*herringbone poncho

*and of course the never-gonna-be-done-dammit-I-have-no-desire-to-finish-it Absolutely Fabulous Throw

That is all off the top of my head at 10:30pm. And for not being at home that isn’t bad!

Good night!

Have a great weekend!!

You know I will…in D-land….alone with my husband….no kids…mmmm…..sweet….

Wow! My husband has decided to make me be social, he invited his crew from work & their significant others for a danish dinner. Yummy, yummy! But of course that meant that I had to spend from 10am-3:30pm cleaning. Lame! It wasn’t as bad as it could have been, that is the nice thing about a small house. I could have had the quick clean done in an hour but I felt convicted that I needed to do some things that I keep putting off. Like changing all bedding, working on laundry (i did 4 loads & put them away), rearranging some pics on walls, removing & organizing clutter (I must say that I have learned how to minimize clutter in the whole house except for the kids rooms, but in there it’s not clutter it’s just toys & a ton of books-totally a run on sentence, sorry about that). SO ~tadah~ I am showered, although without makeup still, and dressed. Of course I am waiting for my mail to come. XCrossingX my fingers that there will be one of my yarn orders. Last night was really fun Tracy & I went to the Starbucks close to her house in Montecito & knit our little hearts out for a couple of hours. It was freezing in there though! I had to stop knitting every once in a while & warm up my frozen fingers under my thighs. SO that was fun. Now I must go knit the anxiety, of having people over to my house, out so I am not totally jittery. Tracy will be here though so of course that will be very nice!

Probably post again on Monday & maybe some pics to go along!
