I'm Back...

It's been a while...hate it when life gets in the way of my knitting.

I have been up to my ears in school stuff - teaching and my own work - as well as being *very* sick for a few days. I know I'm *very* sick when it's so bad that I can't knit. Because I can knit through a lot of things.

Anyway, I'm finally feeling better and am taking a little break from work. So here's some stuff that I found on my camera.

Beautiful sky picture taken by Boy #1:


Front and back of the Prudence vest:


You can't see it here, of course, but the back turned out a full 1" shorter than the front. So, R-I-P will be happening sometime soon. Fortunately, it should only involve a few rows. Other than that I think it will be a perfect fit! I'm excited about getting this project wrapped up, though by the time it's done it'll probably be too warm to wear it.

Did a bit on my parents' ripple last night. It's a great mindless thing to work on. I hate working with the Dale though. It's very splitty. My hook goes right through it. My best guess is that this is adding a good 20% onto my crochet time. Oh well, it really is a beautiful yarn, and it is SUPERWASH. Gotta love that in an afghan.



Below is a gratuitous chihuahua shot. The sweatshirt actually has a little pocket underneath, just like a people one.


Frisky actually has an online chihuahua love, and she's just as cute as a button. You know who you are, SofeeSu! Tee hee. So cute.

So, not sure what's next in knitting. I obviously have a few things to finish, but I am in need of a quick fix kind of project - small, colorful, spring-ish, (but not socks as I have too many in the queue already.) Any ideas?

The doggie hoodie is a hoot! Glad that you are feeling better too.

I think you need to knit some lace...

Frisky looks very handsome in his hoodie!

Sofee updated her wardrobe at the local Petsmart this weekend. Coats and Sweaters 75% off - couldn't resist!!

Oh, forgot - Have you seen the glove KAL.... http://glovekal.blogspot.com/

That would be a nice new project.... I am trying to decide on the colors I want to use. Not easy, especially for me - I am colorphobic!!
