Did you say finished?

Well okay not completely finished.

I have the neck to do and weave in all of my ends, yet, i can wear it *g* so that counts for it being semialmostcompletelydone.

Pictures after I get back from my weekend trip

pictures, no pictures

I have my Banff back and front on the blocking board. But I can't find my digital camera. Not that I have looked that hard. But still, I don't know where it is. SO you are not getting any pictures tonight.

I have however finished the two main pieces. [an obvious assumption since they are both on the blocking board]. I am working on my first sleeve. Since i am travelling this weekend I want to get it done. Supposidely it is supposed to be minus 30 there .. well that is the temperature right now. So of course i need a nice warm comfy sweater.

I have more to say, but the Golden Globes are distracting me.

braces = knitting time

I got braces on yesterday. This in itself is not that big of a deal. But because of the pain associated with the 'next day' i took some time off of work. The last thing that I knew I wanted to do was be nice and helpful when my mouth ached. Which it does.

But again, thats not the point. The point is that I am getting some quality knitting time done. Yesterday I finished the first side of Banff. I am knitting it out of Rowan's Rowanspun Chunky Color Green Waters. It is knitting up extremely fast which I am enjoying. I wasn't going to start another project but I am heading to Calgary for the weekend at the end of the month and thought that this would be the perfect sweater to wear there! I am hoping that I will get quite a bit of knitting time today and tomorrow while the pain subsides in my mouth. *fingers crossed*

Oh and on a Cameron note:

My little man took 6 steps all by himself yesterday. He is growing up so fast!

one for the money, two for the show

well ... in all reality there was no money or show. But the song was in my head as i was getting ready to write this entry ... seemed like a good title to get the song outa my head since I am not that much of an Elvis fan.

I finished this fantastic poncho yesterday. Made from Muench's Naturwolle in color #67. On the bottom and the top of the poncho i crocheted Berroco's chunky chinchilla in dark green. It is quite beautiful.

I also finished a pair of mittens ... since it has been cold enough in TN to wear them. I have such issues finishing projects that I believe that I deserve something fantastic for finishing two projects! I just don't know what it is yet. Perhaps I'll get to start something new for me soon.

Now I am working on the Pyramid Jacket ... It is done in pieces but all together. I am done one side and am currently working on the back. This I should be done by the end of this month. Now am I being way to optimistic!

The other thing that I will be working on this first quarter of the year is the TKGA's Advanced Beginner course. There are quite a few of us doing it which is of course a good thing since we can all share our problems and successes with each other.

Yes I know
I still owe pictures
But shouldn't you just be glad that i've finally posted?

A new year...

But old habits are hard to break. I have not posted any pictures lately but I am knitting ... quite a bit.

Just wanted to let y'all know. Pictures will be forth coming.

How boring am I!! This is almost embarrassing because I don't have that much to say.
