Rogue & future lace project

Well, there ya go. Current pic of Rogue-in-progress. I have been frantically knitting my finger tips off...OFFF, I say!!!!!! Even after I had to rip 36 rows of the hood and was mad at it for a minute. EVEN after I found out that my close knitting friends were betting that I wouldn't finish it. Talk about motivation to prove them wrong.

Well, I have already cast on for the sleeves (both at the same time). I have a week to finish it but would like to have it done sooner.

This is SOOO taking away from my WoW gaming time. Deadline suck!!!!!!!!



On another knitting note-----Check this beauty out:
posted on Dave's blog. I have ordered the pattern and will be searching out yarn-age at OFFF.

As much as me and lace don't get along as of yet, I think I am going to attempt this shawl with some fingering or maybe even sport with maybe a carry-through of some metallic. OOoooh...the picture in my head is fabulous.

Rogue progess

Here's is my Rogue-in-progress. I've actually gotten alot of the hood done but i just haven't taken a picture of it as of yet. I have been knitting like mad trying to get it done before my OFFF trip next weekend. I plan on wearing it as much as possible.

In the pic is my pocket attached...now that I look at it its not a very good pic for to see the cabling. I promise I will post another with the hood in progress and better cable views.

Ding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I finally reached level 39 in World of Warcraft...one more level to get my horse so I can ride around the computerized world instead of walking around. How strange is that...riding around instead of walking because you are too lazy to move your mouse around...huh? Oh, and what, no one in my guild was on for me to boast about my Ding....how sad. So I tell the world....DING!!!

So my previous sweater Eris that I started has been recycled into just yarn in hopes to go into a different project maybe a scarf or shawl...YaY Chrismas presents. My newest project being its older sibling Rogue supposedly insprired by Rogue from X-Men. I have been working on this project and this project only....all other projects are on the back-burner until this is finished. I will dig out my digi camera and post a pic of my progress in the next couple days.

I ran across this Knit Along that actually sounded fun... The International Scarf Exchange. Take a look and see what you think. A scarf really doesn't take very long and to send something to someone internationally sounds fun.

Blogging ReVisited

Yeah, yeah, yeah....I've been informed (a couple times) that I haven't posted anything in and LONG time. The thing is...I just don't know what to write about. Most of the time I feel my life really is uninteresting...besides the family drama and such and who REALLY wants to hear about that.

Well, something really great happened recently...I started a whole new hobby. Like I don't have enough going on with my knitting, World of Warcraft and 3 small children...I get a spinning wheel. Now, I can spin my own yarn for my knitting...scary, huh?

You know, I look at the hobby's I have and consiously feel what it does to my body, mainly my wrists and fingers, and think "Get as much done as you can because eventually arthritis is going to creep up." I appreciate my husband for putting up with all my quirky hobby's and wants. He just goes with it and is fine with it. He loves me so much and wants me to be happy. Being a stay-at-home mom really is not all fun and games.

Knitting Olympics...my failure at gold

I really thought that My First Sock that I was working on diligently and loyaly on was turning out beautifully....until I got toward the end. Still working on it in hopes that somehow it was going to turn out. NOT!!!! Tell me....does this look like a sock.

Instead of finishing it...I decided to take a picture for the world to see and recycle the beautiful yarn called Socks that Rock. Talk about a big bummer.

The Olympic motto Citius, Altius, Fortius (faster, higher, stronger)!!!

Who is crazy enough to start AND finish a somewhat difficult knitting project in 16 days? I think I am. If you know of an easy sweater project for my Eris yarn of 1440 yards of Andean Silk from Knit Picks...let me know. That seems challenging enough...a sweater with that much yard...is quite a sweater. Some crazy people signed up and chose Rogue for their knitting project...how insane is that???? I'm going to have to take another look at the list of "atheletes" and see what other crazy things people are going to knit.
