Wrap Up Friday - Week 12

I apologize for the last two Fridays.....2 weeks ago, I just forgot...last week, I tried to do the post before leaving for work...but my computer wouldn't load...I tried it three times and then I had to leave...I'm a little late today...I do have the day off as it is Good Friday, here in the States....

I have not finished anything....so nothing for me....I am very close to finishing my Irish Oak, so that should be posted next week...

For those of you who celebrate.....I consider myself a Christian, I grew up in the church, but I no longer attend....as my personal beliefs collide with many of the teachings of the religion I belong to...so I have been on a search for a new church....but I also don't believe I need to attend a church in order to be a good Christian.....but it can be a good community...

As always, please provide a link back....

Stitch Along Wednesday - Week 12

Good morning!  A rushed post, because I almost forgot...it's been one of those weeks...

I've been working exclusively on my Irish Oak...doesn't look much different from last week...I'm on the edge now, so almost done...21 rows and bind off....

how about you?  As always, please link back...thank you...

Year of Projects - Week 12

Hello all!  I have spent the week mainly working on one project, my Irish Oak.  I was hoping to have it done by St. Patrick's Day, but it didn't happen....mainly because when I got home from work, I slept...as of this posting, I have about 30 rows left....

I also worked a bit on my Glenn Lives socks....I'm ready for the heel flap....

I am waiting for the snow to arrive today, so having a quiet Sunday at home....

Stitch Along - Week 11

Céad míle fáilte ......

I am feeling good right now....took a nap when I got home from work....I usually take a nap when I get home, but this was a two hour doozy!  I did not sleep well last night, as the nap I took yesterday ended with a splitting headache that I could not get rid of....

So, I was planning on having my Irish Oak finished for Thursday...well that's not gonna happen....well it may be finished, but not blocked...so I may steam block it to wear....but I do have the matching nails going on....

Oh and those of you that may have stopped by on Sunday, saw this...

And I lamented on how they were too big....well Renee...told me I'd feel like a "jackass" (it's all good) because I had them on backwards!  Yep, she was right!

Hope you are having a splendid  (not jackassey) day.....

As always, please link back....see you next week...

Year of Projects - Week 11

Good morning, my fine fellow Friends in Fiber!!!!!

I skipped last week, well just because, I didn't feel like getting on the computer...I have tried scheduling posts, but they never seem to actually post....so I have to physically get on the computer...and the tablet is a pain in the arse to try and do a blog post on....so well....there it goes...

I have been somewhat fibery busy this week...still having a bit of Startitis....
So I decided I NEEDED to start something with my Luck of the Irish yarn from The Cyborg's Craft Room...it had previously started life as a sock....it was frogged.....so here is my Irish Oak....It is the Oaklet Shawl pattern....

You can see where the "new" or fresh yarn starts......the stitches are much more clear....

I also worked a bit on my capelet...

I also put in some time on my Zombie Vixens....but here's the problem...

They are suppose to be fingerless and the thumb is just starting....plus they are a bit wide....the pattern is one size to fit most people...I have teeny, tiny hands....but GAH!!!!!  The thought of ripping back any cables!!!!!  I don't do cables easily.....

Much nicer news are my Vanilla mitts...

So how was your week of projects?

Stitch Along Wednesday - Week 10

Evening my lovelies!  I have cast on something new...about an hour ago...earlier this evening, I decided I needed to cast on something with my Pot o' Gold yarn from the Cyborg's Craft Room.  I got it last year and started a sock with it...but it didn't work out...

So I frogged it a bit ago and decided tonight that I NEEDED to use that yarn RIGHT NOW...so I have started The Oaklet Shawl with it.....and now it is almost bedtime and I just want to knit on it...sigh....

So what are working on?  Anything new?  I can't seem to stay with one project...I have a put a few rows in on a couple of other things....but I think this will get the majority of my time.....

As always, please link back...thanks for stopping...

Stash Acquisition Saturday

I have stashed...again....

Berry Colorful Yarnings....Deep Rainbow

Cornbread and Honey....Enchanted Rainbow

Notice a theme?  I'm a sucker for rainbow yarn...a sucker, born right here this minute!

Second shipment of Quaere Fibre Self Striping Club....Hydrangea Love...

Latest Nerd Girl Random fandom.....There's A Snake in My Boot....Toy Story

and the recent swap I was in had some discount codes, so decided to try some of this yarn for myself...

Peepaloo Fields in Mother Nature

The ones on the left are to become penguins....we are studying penguins, so I feel the need to make one or two...on the right?  Those will become a couple of these

Some Malabrigo Rios...just because.....that's Ravelry Red...and Cirrus Grey

I found this box on the porch one day this week...I opened it and puzzled about it for a bit...I hadn't ordered any Malabrigo...there was no note or shipping invoice...where'd it come from.....

Finally the Hubs admits he bought the yarn and packaged it up and put it on the porch, as if it were delivered...he has requested some Malabrigo Rasta mittens...he actually went to the LYS and ordered the specific yarn....yep...he's a keeper...and thinks he's funny....

I'm heading to Northhampton for a bit...got to shop for a swap...and well I'm going to Springfield, so might as well head up there....so I'm sure I'll have some more acquisitions....

Oh, someone asked about the Glenn and Carol yarn...it is from Desert Vista Dyeworks...she has a whole If They Kill series.....it is dyed to order...but worth the wait...
