A Few Sheep Shy of a Farm

Page updates!

I was down with a migraine yesterday so nothing new on the knitting front. I did manage to get the long awaited photos of everything done on Sunday, so there are lots of pics that have been added both of WIPS and Finished Objects. Oh, and I got the free once of mohair in the mail . . . .

doesn’t this look like fun!

And here is the photo of the Purple Tank Top and matching Purse. I do plan to write up the pattern . . . .

More later if I have a chance . . . . .

Productive Lunch

Baby sock #1 is done except for binding off and the toe increases for #2 are almost done! I’m now meeting a friend for drinks and maybe a salad after work today so I may get a few more rounds done whilest we chat. Tonight the buns are getting a brushing if I get home before dark, otherwise it will get done in the morning, whether they like it or not!

Oh, and DH is going to a Soccer double-header on Sunday so its going to be spinning time! I plan to make some fresh-squeezed lemonade and set up on the patio (weather permitting) to spin in the screen house under the fans. Now that is how I want to spend my weekend!

2 hours, 20 min to go . . . .

Happy Friday!

M and A came over last night for dinner and knitting. We had nice relaxing evening, some wine, salad with goat cheese and grilled chicken and berry parfait for dessert.

I tried to work on the lace shawl, but since its a new pattern it takes too much concentration. Made a little progress on the baby sock, just a few more rounds on the first one to go. I probably won’t have it done in time for tomorrow, but maybe by Sunday.

We also packed up and shipped off more fleeces. I sent 2 and M sent 1, to Zeilingers for processing. Don’t expect those back until sometime in October! I now have only the Jacob Fleece and a small corriedale in the house! For me, that really isn’t much! Of course, when this order and the other one from may are both back I’ll have somewhere in the neighborhood of 30lbs of roving in the house!!!! I’m going to have to find some more time to spin not to mention learn to knit much faster . . . . that will be around 15 sweaters worth of wool . . . course at the rate I’m going it will be winter of 2004 before they are actually sweaters, but its the process that counts, right?

I’ve added some more links, a bead section, needlework (embroidery mostly) and sewing/notions along with misc. other knitting/fiber/historical sites. I still have more in my bookmarks but it may be a few days before I have a chance to add much else . . .

Have a great weekend.

I’m up to the ribbing on the first baby sock and hope to finish that one today . . . and somehow manage to do the whole second one tomorrow since I want to deliver them on Saturday . . . .

I also started the Meadow Flower’s shawl from Knitter’s Stash in Madil Kid Seta. Its in a plum color . . . and for the holiday pile though I don’t know who the lucky receipient will be yet . . .

I’ve been working on adding more links and other interesting things to this blog. If you have any knitting/fiber links I’m missing please do let me know!

Girls Night is looking rather sparse this week, may be just two of us but we’ll see . . .

May post again later if time allows. Otherwise have a great day!

Finished the 2nd hat last night around 11 and I’m now working on tiny baby socks for a friend’s daughter. I hope to have them finished before Saturday when I may see her.

I’ve added a boat load more links today so there is lots to see . . .

Off to the dentist this afternoon so won’t get much done this evening . . . . and “the girls” are coming tomorrow night so I need to give the house a once over. . . .

Oh and Out of Africa by Isak Dinesen arrived just now along with a dvd of the movie, guess we know what I’ll be up to just as soon as I have a chance! ‘Course it may be Sunday before that happens . . . .

well, 40 min to go so I guess I should do something productive!

Let me know what you think of the links (or if I missed any good ones you know of!)
