Oh did you notice I hadn’t been here in a minute? Never fear. I have added updating the blog to my to do list and will either backdate posts where appropriate or start from here on out. I have finished projects, family vacations, baby showers (not mine!) and lots of work travel to talk about. Oh and some WIPs and the Ravelympics! I am home for two weeks in a row so hopefully I will have some time to stop and breathe and update before I head back out on the road. I miss you all!
I am spending my day hanging with the boy and his parents, parading it up, eating ribs and watching fireworks. I hope you all have a wonderful day!
Enjoy the video!
I finished seaming two things this weekend. I seamed my minimalist cardigan (action shots to come!) and that surprise I knitted last weekend. We also painted the closet, hung the shelves, put everything back in the closets, got the lawn mowed and a sundry of other tasks around the house. I began knitting the hemlock ring but somewhere I lost a stitch so I lost about 4.5 hrs of knitting time tinking back to find the lost stitch and then the re-knitting I will have to do tom’w morning. I want to have this knit up to the chart so all I have to take on the plane is the chart.
Tomorrow I am off to Utah for a family vacation. The blog will most likely be updated when I get back as there is a distinct lack of communication between my camera and the mac. (and any other computer that doesn’t have a memory card slot built in.) If any one knows how to fix this problem I would be much obliged. (Basically the cable doesn’t work, or rather when using the cable none of the computers - pc or mac - recognize the camera. Oh and I have multiple cables that don’t work, not just one. And this problem happened with my old camera too, the one that TSA stole.)
Today’s Eye Candy Friday is brought by the letter E and the number 2. The lovely EcoWool you see before you was purchased on my last business trip to Denver, CO. I found it at the very fun Fancy Tiger yarn shop. Hopefully I can go see them again when I head back to Denver in 2 weeks. This yarn is destined for a Hemlock Ring Blanketthe recipient at this time is unknown.
The Ravelry team arrived in town today for TNNA and guess whom they decided to grace with their presence?
Me! and the rest of the Clintonville Knit gang. I knew they were coming as of Wednesday and decided to keep it as a surprise for everyone else. (Well, I told one person so I could get assistance saving seats at the restaurant.) The funny thing is, even though no one *knew* all the regulars decided to show up so we had about 15 people in attendance! That’s a bit larger than our normal crowd but not too overwhelming. Mary-Heather, Jess and Casey arrived about 45 minutes into our knit night. There were some folks who were quite surprised! We had a grand time just sitting, knitting, drinking beer (well not me, I don’t do beer) and eating. They brought along some buttons and stickers that were passed around. I also got to see the new tri-fold handouts for advertising.
The boy rolled in after his happy hour was over to hang out for a little bit as well. He took pictures with other folks’ cameras because silly me remembered my camera but not my memory card. Alas, I do not have my own pictures. Perhaps once everyone returns home from their travels I will be able to swipe pictures from other people. For now you get text.
Oh and I started seaming my sweater. I must have it done before I go on vacation because it could be cold!
