Whew! Amazing how fast that 2 weeks went! It sure would be nice if it was longer but unfortunately life must resume.

One of the best things is the HUGE surprise waiting for me when I got home. You see, my hunk of a husband couldn’t go with the 3 kids, Tracy & I, so he thought he would do some things around the house. Like buy me a new washer & dryer set~yeeha~ and completely remodel our bedroom!! I love it! I must say ‘queer eye’ has nothing on my hunk!

SO I must resume my usual knitting & crocheting habits. I did acquire a few new goodies while on our trip, I will put up some pics soon. Til’ something exciting happens, ciao!

I posted a new photo to knittingphotos.

Blah day today but a lot has been happening on the knitting front! Went to the knitting group last night at Java Station. Met one new lady, Julie, very fun! Laura & Mary were there. So a very small group, but intimate & pretty darn entertaining!

I finished a couple of christmas gifts for my sisters family. All 5 girls are getting something hand made, that is my goal & I am sticking to it! I also love working on my pagoda hooded sweatshirt. So much that I am making one for my daughter out of some uruwool that I got a while back. Also I am have a very lofty goal for myself while I am on my trip to Idaho. I am planning on making my hubby (who cannot make it due to work) a sweater as a surprise gift! Yay! Hope that works out well, sometimes on a trip you find you never pick up the project you bring with you~ that is why I have a goal!

My youngest son is the only child without a handknit sweater. Don’t know why that is but it’s something else that must be remedied quickly! I am doing pretty good at not purchasing more yarn but I found a seller on ebay that is selling huge lots & they are kinda irresisteble.

Lame! oh well! Get while the getting is good I suppose! I just have to finish more projects…more…more…more!

Okay so I finished another poncho last night. They are just so fast & fun! It’s nice to feel accomplished after a yucky week like this one. Weather isn’t much better, there is a little sun today. Full moon tomorrow so there is no sleeping being done in my household. I dont care what anyone says it affects the genetics in our family immensely!

I also started a new rectangle poncho out of uruwool’s scarlet marino wool. I bought it off of Ebay from their store. You can see the yarn on their website  www.uruwool.com

I went through some of my yarn stash that I hadn’t gone through in a while. It is all yarn that I have set aside for projects or projects that are started & not finished. Got all the yarns sorted & together with their respective projects. Feel really good about that! It has been so wet & muggy here that my kool aid yarn still isnt’ dry! It has been 3 days! I can’t wait to knit a swatch up! I leave for my family reunion in a week & the driving is going to suck! But it will be worth the effort. So there you have it! More later with some pics.
