Oh my gosh! I did it (with Joy's help)

My RSS feeds are mostly knitting, investing or reader type blogs. Here's what I found and subscribed to:

• About Contemporary Literature
• The Blue Blog (knitting)
• The Keyboard Biologist Knits
• Librarians Internet Index
• NYT Book Review
• The Shifted Librarian
• USATODAY.com Books - Top Stories
• Woolflowers (knitting)
• Washington Post Book reviews
• Wendy Knits
• Yarn Harlot
• Option Addict (investing)
• Word of the Day (Dictionary)
• FELMAR'S MISSIONARY JOURNEY

What I'd like to know is if I keep up with all of these, when am I going to sleep?

Finally I made it through this week's assignment!

The technology article that I found was about the "virtual fence" used to help control illegal immigrants. It was very interesting check it out here: http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/02/22/border.fence.ap/index.html
Sorry you'll have to copy and paste I couldn't figure out how to make a link. I'd much rather be knitting or scrapbooking!!

Part 2 of Week 3 Assignment

This has been a real challenge for me, since I really don't understand all the terms that are used. So much of it is like a foreign language to me! I did manage to go to Big HugeLabs and explore the Top Cameras list... A ranked listing of the top 100 digital camera makes and models, updated weekly. This was very interesting as the features on the new cameras are so awesome and they change rapidly... every time I investigate new cameras there seems to be a whole new breed. I've taken almost 5000 pictures with my current digital camera and I'm not sure when it will give up and say ENOUGH ALREADY!! So it never hurts to be looking for the next camera in my life.
Well, back to snapping pictures of my knitting projects.

Better.

2nd February Baby Sweater Day 2

2nd February Baby Sweater Day 2

This is coming out bigger that I expected, I accidentally grabbed the wrong size needles when we left for our weekend getaway, so I went with what I had. It will probably be more of a toddler size than for an infant. I decided to do the yoke in a slightly darker shade of peach, I may also do the bottom band and the sleeve cuffs in the darker shade, if I have enough.

What came off my needles this week

I just finished a mint green version of Elizabeth Zimmerman's "February Baby Sweater" how appropriate and that wasn't even planned! Not sure who this will be for as it looks a little too frilly for a boy and my niece just had a baby boy "Bennett Arthur MacGregor".... so I put the finishing touches on another sweater (Quickie Baby Sweater with Hood) that I had done recently, it's very boyish and blue to boot. I'll post pictures later of both sweaters.

Bill and I went away for a quiet weekend to celebrate our 25th anniversary, so of course I took my knitting. I started another February baby sweater, this one in 2 shades of peach. I'm going to make a few additional embellishments on this one, as well as adjust the directions a bit. As anyone who has done any of Elizabeth Zimmerman's patterns would know, they are a bit vague and you have to sort of fly by the seat of your pants to get through them.... they good news is that once you master one they make a lot of sense and I usually end up making several versions of each. Her Baby Surprise Jacket is a real adventure I've made 2 of these and then went on to make one in stockinette stitch which is a bit different in the final measurements of the jacket. I believe she even has an adult version of this pattern.

Well, back to my needles!

I made this a few years back and had been saving it for a special little girl, so when my niece Alexis had her "miracle baby" she got it.

Knitting can be KRAZY

Hi Everyone!
This is my first post on my new knitting blog, I'm excited to share with you some of my projects, along with some of the trials and tribulations that come with the craft.... ie: patterns that are NOT correct, yarn that doesn't look how you invisioned it when the item is completed, not having the right size needles available when you need them AND airlines that don't let you bring your knitting on board! My next challenge with be posting some pictures so you can see what I've done lately. Well, I've got to get back to my knitting... have a happy productive day.
