Meanwhile I have been picking up ufos around the house and finishing them up. That counts as cleaning, doesn't it . Realized for the 3rd time I put the bottom of my yoga/bottle bag from IK on upside down, again. I am leaving it this time ~ I want to move on!

I have earned this badge!

I am trying to knit Mystery Shawl 3

I have started with cotton ~ Mandarin Petite

and with acrylic ~ Cascade Cherub dk

I thought I was moving right along. then saw that my center line had shifted somewhere between chart B & C

So, i started again with new beads.

That effort was spilled upon.

catching up . . . again

well, i think I need to be more organized to keep this blog updated.

there are things I can do from work and things that have to be done from home. posting pics is one of those things that I have to do from home. So, yes, I have done some sock knitting, some lace knitting and some knitting knitting. One thing I have not knit yet is a sweater. I have just been avoiding things that have to fit. I do socks and they have to fit, as well as gloves. i think it is more the fear of "some assembly required"

so . . . here are the last 2 pairs of socks that i have knit and have not yet passed along.

I guess I am just not much of a blogger. I keep looking at other sites and admire their little timelines and charts on finished objects and wips. I keep giving my stuff away before I get around to taking a picture to post on my blog.

if i have to choose between knitting and blogging, well, there is no contest.

currently in the works:

• diagonal knit socks - I am really enjoying the pattern
• mystery shawl 3 - still can't decide what yarn and beads to use. so far i have set aside some mandarin petit and some infinity soy silk. i think i will try knitting the first clue on each and go from there. white yarn on both of them. i do keep thinking that a black shawl would be nice to have, but do I really want to try to work with black yarn, and I am trying very hard to be good and use up my stash.
• a top from knitty that is sitting in my bag using yarn I have frogged 3 times from sweater patterns i have liked the picture of but didnt like as I was knitting.

so, there is the latest on the knitting front.

here we go again!

ok - I am back -

i am stealthily typing this while on shift at work - shh!

i now feel the need to update my blog - i have signed up for a couple of new KALs and need a place to post my progress, pics etc.

new stuff:

• mystery shawl 3
• Coachella http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer07/PATTcoachella.html

ongoing stuff:

• socks to use my stash so I can justify buying something else
• dishcloths/washcloths - I have found that after awhile as a washcloth, I tend to relegate my less favorites to the kitchen.

more soon, but I have to go on break now!

Another attempt to be current with this blogging business. There are just too many sites to visit, too many patterns, too many yarns - I haven't even been keeping up with my email lately.

and I still haven't figured out how to get those buttons on my page.

I have finished my rpm socks in cth life's a beach supersock and I am wearing them today. I am not that please with my variation on a frill. I finished it. It's done, but . . . now what? it isn't a look I can carry off, it's not quite a shawl, but very long for a scarf. It is soft - but . . . I haven't decided what to do with it.

In the meantime I will content myself with socks and washcloths. I did make a baby feet washcloth from the leftover mandarin petit - I like it. I may just frog the whole thing and make a lot of washcloths!
