Welcome 2010

Well it is a new year, so they say. I have not seen too much different yet... I can only hope!

My stash is gonna get bigger, my brother in laws got me a Michael's gift card for Christmas. whoo hoo! I will be getting the needles I need to make 2-at-a-time socks. I decided not to try it again til I have the correct materials.

Kids go back to school tomorrow.. that can only be good. We are on our way today or tomorrow to get our new fireplace for the living room. We will be warm, maybe no snuggie needed!

I am going to work on mom's blanket today if we don't leave the house. I want to get it done so I can say I actually finished something in a somewhat timely manner. Let me qualify that, I seem to not get the bigger projects finished. If I am working on a dishcloth or scarf, I can get those very small projects done, but the projects that take more than one knitting session to complete.. I might be screwed. Again, the ADD. I can't help it, blame it on the brain.

Well, off to the couch, hook in hand to knock out that lapghan......maybe!

ADD Knitting

Well I have been going crazy trying to decide what project to start knitting.

I started the socks for my sockless feet, got to Micheals yesterday and found all the sock yarn on sale.... had to buy more! My husband and I had a spirited discussion as to my "stash". I buy yarn, mostly, with a project in mind. I really would love to just go in and buy a bunch with no purpose other than I just love the look and feel of it.

I got home with my new yarn and decided to try to get a handle on the 2-at-a-time socks. I think that I was way too tired to understand what seemed to me to be quite detailed, easy to follow directions. I frogged that out and thought , "hey, lets start on hubby's new socks!".

Couldn't do that either, I had the one set of needles needed to cast those on, in use with MY socks. OK, back to my heel which I am just about turn. That lasted about ten minutes when I got cold, wrapped myself in the blanket and discovered I could be warm or knit. In that moment, the slanket, snuggy, whatever you want to call it started to make sense to me. That in itself was a scary thought. Might have to go out and buy one today.

I promptly fell asleep wrapped in my flannel sheet, OK time to start today.

I want to know, is it a waste of a resolution to try to finish a project when I start it? I still have to finish my Mom's Birthday blanket before I go to her house the next time. It might be better if I finished it and mailed it to her instead, I have no idea when I might get to Kincardine.

So, now I have to spend the day running around getting drinks for tonight, photos developed for hubby's family, oh and not to forget... figuring our what I will wear for my romantic dinner at the skylon tower. After dinner we are meeting up with friends at a house party, is it cool if I bring my knitting? That is my biggest question. I couldn't hurt to throw it into my bag.....
