...of why I haven't posted. My father had to go into the hospital last week to have some blood transfusions and then to find out why he needed them to begin with. His transfusions did well and the first of the procedures found some areas where blood may have been "oozing" over the last several month. (That being the very medical term the doctors kept using.) They did "fix" those spots and then in a couple of weeks he may have another procedure, a capsule endoscopy, to see if there are more in the small intestines. Right now we're just glad he's feeling more himself and is home.
Needless to say, several days spent at the hospital waiting around has some rewards. I worked mainly on the Noro bag, and I've got it ready to put together. Now I have to find some material to make the lining and get that cut and put together. Oh, and I have to decide if I'm going to finish the handles they way they do in the book. But for all intents and purposes, the knitting is done.
I also worked on the Monkey socks. In fact, I realized that somewhere along the line I'd dropped 2 stitches and they had traveled down to a point that I couldn't retrieve them and fix things. So, in frustration I just ripped the whole thing out and started the second sock over. I'm almost done with the second repeat, so it's coming along fairly quickly.
I would have worked on the cable bag (don't think I've posted about this one yet), but realized I didn't have a cable needle with me, nor did I have a dpn that I could use. Oh well, all in good time.
I also managed to come up with an idea for the bag competition at KnitWitz. I am going to have to check on something though to make sure I stay within the rules. I hope I can do what I'm thinking of, but if not, I'll adjust the idea.
I'm still not caught up on rest so I'm off to sit around and relax some more. Maybe even knit!

Wrapping up in April
April is supposed to be a month where you finish things, stitching, knitting, whatever in the craft line. So far, I've finished one thing, the stitching for the waxer pocket for "BugBox". I've got a couple of things very close to being finished, in fact two of my ornaments for the exchange I'm in are stitched and just waiting for things like beads or buttons to be put on.
In fact, last night I finished the stitching on the second of 4 ornaments I'm stitching for the exchange. The Bird's Carol by Praiseworthy Stitches (as seen above). It didn't take long at all to stitch up, so that was nice. Now to find the beads and then get the materials all kitted up.
After I blogged about UFO Thursday Rebecca said she didn't know there was a day for UFO's. Well, I'm not sure that it's universal or anything, but some of us on the Legacy Board (ezBoard) wo are trying to work on reducing the number of UFO's we have, decided that this year we'd declare Thursdays as UFO stitching day, then on the second weekend of the month it's UFO stitching the whole weekend. I finished a sampler so far, and am working on another, ok more then one other, on UFO days. I like the idea of having a day set aside to stitch on something that has been languishing in my pile of goodies. Anyone can join the fun, there aren't really any rules, except you are supposed to work on a UFO in your stash during those times if you are stitching. Of course, that leaves you 6 other days to start new things!
On top of the Legacy/UFO stitching Thrusdays, my friend Heather and I came up with a theme for each month. April is "Wrap it Up", meaning your goal is to wrap up work on some projects. Hence my desire to finish some things. For me finishing, really finishing, is the hardest part. I've got a stack of items to work on, but haven't and here it is with only 5 more days left in the month. Maybe I'll get some done, maybe I won't. Stay tuned and see.

UFO Thursday came and went
...and I didn't really stitch on anything. Which is sad, except for the fact that I went to an event tonight and surprised a few people by being there, pleasantly surprised I might add, so all is not a loss.
Although I didn't manage to stitch, I did take some knitting along for the car ride. For once I didn't have to drive, and I was at the point on the Noro bag (which is really called Tovesta and is the Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton Noro book #2) where you start on the handle/strap. So I blindly followed the pattern, all the while saying to myself, "This isn't working out the way I would have done it." But do you think I stopped and thought that maybe the pattern was wrong in the book? OH NO! I still don't trust my "knitting instinct" enough to stop until I've proven to myself that it's not right. So I knit almost the entire row, which included binding off some stitches, and then counted and low and behold...the pattern wasn't right.
To compound the problem, my cable went out today, which apparently caused my computer to barf. So at 10PM I'm on the phone with tech support trying to figure out why my IP address can't be repaired and is that why I have no Internet. Let me just say that I only resort to calling tech support when I've done everything I know to do, things like recycling the modem (which consists of unplugging it and plugging it back in, or turning it off and then on which is usually the tech support cure-all in my experience), and trying to repair the Internet setting with the lovely little programs that should do that sort of thing, as well as turning the whole computer on and off, even hard rebooted the thing. All to no avail. So 30 minutes later the problem is finally fixed (having had to actually type in command line commands. Wow, haven't seen a prompt symbol in ages, almost forgot what they look like. All this to say, I obviously now have my connection back and all is right with the world.
I think a cup of tea and the mystery book beside my bed are calling my name. Hopefully I'll have pictures of something to show you tomorrow. All these words aren't as fun as pictures.

It's only Tuesday!
How is it only Tuesday? Isn't it Friday yet? No really, I feel like I've lived the entire week in two days and to be honest, I'm tired and want a weekend of fun, or at least a day of fun and no work. Which is what I'm planning to have Sat. when I go and stitch with the Sampler Guild at the invitation of my friend Melody and then knit at the Midnight Knit. A day of stitching and knitting, my idea of bliss!
But since it's only Tuesday and since I have to be up at FIVE A.M. in the morning (which I have to say is not a decent hour, in fact it's obscene in my book) to take my mom to have her endoscopy and colonoscopy done, I'm going to make this short. For those who know me, and know me well, shortness in discussions, and by extension e-mails and blogs, is not usually in my vocabulary. I usually can ramble on for hours on end. But not tonight. Tonight I give you this.
This is the yarn I decided on for my upcoming socks...I Dreamed of Africa by The ChickWithSticks. I just love the look of that sock, but I don't really wear that much orange, it's just not my color. So I was looking for something that made me think of Africa while being the colors I would wear. This is my answer, it's Schaefer Anne, but I don't know what color because none of them had color names on the tags. I probably won't get to start on them any time really soon, but you never know. I have worked on #2 of the Monkey Socks and have 2 repeats in. Since I only did 4 on the 1st one, I may be done sooner then I think. I'm planning on taking that sock with me to work on while I wait for Mom to be done with her tests. Given that these things usually take longer then you plan for, I may even finish!
I do want to send out my thoughts to those who are part of the VA Tech community. One of my cousins attended VT while I was at FSU and I got to visit with him there once. It's a beautiful place, with wonderful people. This 'Nole sends her thoughts and prayers out to not only the Hokies I know, but those I don't. May you find peace in a time of terrible sadness.

Monday already?
How can the weekend go so quickly? I mean wasn't it just Friday? Wasn't I just trying to leave work at 5 pm so I could go knit with the girls? I know it was! And yet I woke up this morning and it was Monday and I had to start back to work. (To be honest, this week won't see a lot of work getting done I'm afraid. My mom has to go have a couple of "proceedures" done on Wed. that involve yucky prep. on Tues. and my dad has an appointment on Fri. that I really should go to with him.)
However, I did think that I would kind of update things with what I have on my knitting needles and what I hope to have on them soon.
First what
I'm working on that you've heard about but maybe haven't seen....I bring you "the Noro purse". I'm sure it has a real name, but that works for me. I can't remember the color of the yarn it uses, but I love the teal's and tan/gold colors along with the darker greens. It's really coming out perfect for me. Yes, this one is going to be for me. I'm planning on this being my Fall 2007 purse. I'll probably do another one as a gift, since the pattern is really easy and once you figure it out you can just knit and relax with this one. I admit that I like a mindless type knit every once in awhile.
Next is something that truthfully I started last year, then put up and have picked back
up. It's really not that far along, but I'm hoping to get some major work done on it this Sat. at the "Midnight Knit" at my favorite place to spend my money and knit at...KnitWitz. It's a cute little shell made from Touche and is a free pattern from Berroco called Eliza. I just love Touche, it's so soft, plus the cotton in FL in the summer is going to be great. Now to get it finished. You can't see, but it's knit from the bottom up and the bottom has this lovely little ruffle. Just too cute! The green is one of my favorite shades of green too, so green apple and to me it's a great summer color. Would be nice to finish it in time to wear it this summer, would be extra nice if I could finish it before I go to Atlanta in July for the HP movie party and stitching fun with the group up there. Ahhh, nothing like dreaming!
The final pi
cture to show you is something that I'm kind of stuck on. I'm waiting to get the dpn's I need for it. (Hint, hint Kathe just in case you're reading.) It takes 10's and I have almost every other large size but that. I figure sooner or later they will come in. It's not like I've got this pressing need for the hat this summer. I love the black with the funky blue color. Once I get this finished I'll need to felt it, along with a couple of other things I've already finished but haven't felted. I found the pattern at a little store in Bristol, VA/TN (I seriously don't remember if we were on the VA or TN side of Bristol, but at least I remember the town!) We were up for a family reunion and I'd found the store and made my parents make a quick trip to see what they had. The pattern comes with a pattern for the cutest flower to knit, which I'll do last and with the periwinkle blue color.
Ok, so I lied, I'm not going to show you the picture of something I have planned today. I think I'll save it for tomorrow. I will tell you that I did manage to get some stitching in this weekend. I mainly worked on Alyssum pocket, which is so pretty, by Cat's Whiskers. I'll try to get a scan of it tomorrow to show you. Gotta leave you with something to come back for!
Oh and I want to say "hi" to my HP Sock exchange pal. She emailed me and has taken a look here. So far I'm not sure who she is, but I have my suspicions about which house she's from. Wonder if I'm right......

It's a Bag Challange Contest
My favorite LYS, KnitWitz, is having a Bag Challange Contest. It looks like a lot of fun and I think I'll just have to participate. There are 2 catagories, bags from published patterns and bags from your own design. I'm thinking of attempting my own design. Crazy talk I know! I have a few ideas, but nothing concrete. There is a priviso that you have to use Lamb's Pride worsted silver gray (or grey if you are English or spell the way I do) and at least one other color of Lamb's Pride. You can also use a "wild card yarn". The contest doesn't start until May 1st, so I have time to plot, I mean scheme, I mean plan....yeah, plan.
In other knitting news. I have a Hogwarts Sock Pal to send things too, as well as one to send things to me. (waving to both!) I really thought I'd been so smart and set up a new email that wouldn't give me away, and what happened, somehow the gmail muggles messed things up and put my actual name in the From. (ok, so I could have been a bit more careful and made sure my name didn't appear, but I was sure I did everything right....sigh..) But I'm excited and have decided what pattern I'm going to use for my pals socks and even the yarn. I think she'll like them. Now to work on the stitch markers. Along with my other crafts I bead, so I'll be digging into my stash and looking to see if I have something to work with. If not, I'll just HAVE to go bead shopping!
Tonight is UFO stitching night. I'm not sure exactly what I'll work on. I should work on Winter Garden Gate, really I should. But I'm just not feeling it. Who know, maybe when I sit down, pick up a needle, it will call. I'll let you know.
But for now, it's time to fix some dinner so I can stitch!

Hogwarts Sock Swap...let the fun begin!
Yes, it's true. I was reading some blogs today, specifically Knitting Underway and happened across her post about this swap. I've never done a knitting swap, so I was intrigued. I mean, HP, knitting and socks, all in one place, that's a magical combination if I've ever heard of one. So off to Hogwarts Sock Swap I went and signed myself up. I was so excited to make it in since it's limited to 100 students/participants. Part of the fun is of course being in one of the houses. Having been a HP fan for a long time, that was easy for me since years ago I sorted into Gryffindor. I can't wait for all the fun to begin, but first here's the information for whoever my swap partner is.

If you're interested you may have to hurry, I think the group was reaching the 100 mark very quickly.
In other news....I actually stitched tonight! Tuesdays are supposed to be my night to stitch on ornaments. It's not like I don't have enough ornaments to stitch either, since I rashly said that I'd stitch 3 in the exchange I'm in with my stitching buddies, and then a surprise one...for a total of 4. FOUR?!?!!? What was I thinking? I mean really? FOUR??? But I've got 1 done and am making good progress on the second as you can see from this very cute picture.
I think I've bored everyone enough tonight, so I'm off to bed to read and get some sleep.

Monday musings
Wow, already Monday again. The weekends seem to go faster and faster. I think that's especially true when I don't manage to get any stitching or knitting done. Not that I didn't actually try, just didn't actually accomplish anything.
I did try to knit on the Noro purse, but today, when I picked it up while waiting with my mother in the doctor's office, I noticed I'd made a mistake. I'm not sure exactly when I made it, but I'd guess it was Friday night when I worked on it for an hour. I tried to just drop the stitches and fix it, but it's not working. I see a bit of "tink" stitch coming....like 5 rows of it! BLAH!!!
Oh well, that's part of making something with your hands, sometimes you have to re-do so you're happy with the results.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Ours was nice, if a bit cold and windy. Today we finally have gotten some much needed rain. I hope they are right when they say tomorrow is an 80% chance of the wet stuff. We are so in need of rain, or soon we'll be worrying about fires.
I received a wonderful early birthday present on Friday. My dear friend Jean, a fellow member of the "Stitch Queens", sent me a gift subscription to Martina's new "A Tuscany Town Mandala"! I've been admiring it since she posted pictures on ezboard. We were in Italy when I was little, but not in Tuscany, but I love the archetecture and the colors of that area. Not to mention it's on my list of places I want to travel to before I get too old...or something like that. I'm very excited and have already started trying to decide on a fabric. Thankfully there is a wonderful viewer that was created by one of the many people who love Martina's designs. That's helping a lot. I'm leaning toward something that's got some yellow/tan undertones. I like the way it looks on those. The white seems to stark to me and I don't want to totally blind myself by attempting it in anything too dark. I'll keep everyone posted on what I decide to choose.
I think I've rambled enough for one day. Happy Monday to all!

April "Wrap-Up"
What a week! The weather finally changed and got hot, which means business started to pick up considerably. That also means I've had no spare time during the day to post much. Not to mention we got company last night, in the form of my Uncle Max and Aunt Jan, who were headed back to MI from their house down in Melbourne, FL . Summer in MI for them, although they may be headed into some decidedly non-summer-like weather. But their visit meant a massive house cleaning job had to be accomplished. That just takes way to much of my precious stitching and knitting time!
On to the important stuff...In the Year of Stitching, April is Wrap-Up month. A month to do finishing on smalls, ornaments or finish items that are close to being stitched, or knitted. I have a couple of smalls that I want to do the finishing on this month. I'm also working on the Moss Creek Winter Garden Gate, trying to finish it. The other item I think I'll try to finish is the biscornu I started. If I can get it stitched AND finished, that would be amazing!
That's it so far. The picture isn't great, but I love the way it's coming out.
Well, I might have a bit of time to stitch if I stop writing and head out of my office. Then maybe I'd have something to actually blog about!

The other item I think I'll try to finish is the biscornu I started. If I can get it stitched AND finished, that would be amazing!
That's it so far. The picture isn't great, but I love the way it's coming out.
Well, I might have a bit of time to stitch if I stop writing and head out of my office. Then maybe I'd have something to actually blog about!
