Stitch Along Wednesday

Hello, hello, hello....back for another edition....hey I think I've been doing pretty well....

So went to the doctor yesterday and yep, have my annual fall sinus infection...I just thought it was a cold....didn't really think it was in my sinuses....my doc looks at me and says....a cold doesn't last three weeks...this Friday would mark the 4th Friday since it started....so on the ole' antibiotics...

Anyone else watch The Walking Dead?  I am obsessed with it at the moment...last season was fabulous and this season seems like it will be better!!!!! 

Okay so what have I got going?  I'm still working on my Supernatural shawl...seems to be the one I pick up most often....I started a pair of cabled mitts in a zombie inspired colorway....the problem is I came home and took a nap and now it is too dark to take pictures...hopefully I can get my act together...

Was honored by some of my favoritest students on Friday...my favorite group of students (yes they are, I had them for two years, second and third and have kept in tough) are seniors this year....I went to the game on Friday to support them...a bunch are in the band and are majorettes and Cane-ettes, which is a thing....and I got this...
Here are some of them from last year.....love this group of kids so much and they all have pretty much stayed in touch and stayed friends...I just think it is remarkable....

Oh look I found a picture of the cabled mitts....I'm a bit further along....

So how is your week going?  What's your obsession right now? Please try to link back, thanks!

Stitch Along Wednesday

Hi my peeps!  I hope to start blogging regularly soon....I think about it, just haven't gotten myself back into the groove....

So I finished my Owligan!!!!!!!  How amazing is that!  I am so thrilled and excited...I've worn it almost everyday since Sunday.....it's getting warm again here, so won't be wearing it much the rest of the week...it is just what I wanted....so proud of myself!

That is pretty much all I've worked on the past week or so...and then I took a bit of a break...went to Rhinebeck....now I'm itching to work on some of my socks...so when I get off here, I'll be working on those while watching a rerun of The Walking Dead....wow...are you guys watching this? 

Toodles!  As always, please provide a link back...thanks!!!!

Stitch Along Wednesday

Good morning lovies!  I am actually home today sick....annual fall crud that I get...it usually turns into a sinus infection, but hasn't yet.....so I am working on my Owligan, with the slight hope of having it finished for Rhinebeck this weekend....

Working on second sleeve now, then the yoke, then the button band...but it it comes down to it, I may skip the button band....we'll see...mind you I have never knitted a sweater before....

My other projects will be waiting in the wings this week....how about you?  what are you up too?

Stitch Along Wednesday

Hangs head in shame***** No other excuse, except I forgot....I am going to try to post Tuesday night, so I remember....*sigh*

So thought I'd catch you up on what I have been doing....hurrah, I have a few finishes...and I hope to post them on Friday, unless, of course I forget....The Hubs cousin moved her wedding up a year (her mom has cancer), so the cake toppers that I had a year to make, I had a little over a week...because then they had to be mailed to Florida....went in the mail today...another wedding on Saturday and I was making the bride's garter...yeah just finished that this weekend too....and oh yeah, finished another Sockhead....again it's large, but not too bad...that was a KAL in a Facebook group...

And I've started a bunch...a CAL...Web Cowled Shawl
Went to a Supernatural Convention, decided I needed to work on a project that is Supernatural based, hence my Boneyard in a Supernatural themed yarn...
A Pebble vest for an upcoming baby shower....Mom requested black and red....
My Marvin socks, started on trip to Norway, haven't gotten far on them...wanted them for the Martian movie...yeah, saw movie on Friday...no socks...
My Flaming Arrow shawl for the last Hunger Games movie...
My Owligan is to the armholes...not sure I'll finish for Rhinebeck...sigh....it was way too hot to work on this for a long time!
I have some other bits and bobs...I've mostly worked on the Supernatural and Flaming Arrow shawls, with the gifts and the Sockhead....On Oct 7, I will be starting a Supernatural MKAL....well, I won't start it, as I don't have my yarn yet....I decided to special order it......
The bottom picture is the inspiration....

I haven't really been reading, but did purchase The Prize...it's a book about an education experiment in New Jersey that kinda went wrong.....

So hopefully you all will stick with me and link up this week....Please link back and comment if you can...love you all!
