Year's since my last post

I don't know what to say it has been year's post. Still working knitting once and awhile. thinking of crocheting again. I will let you know how it goes.

Still Going

Well another long time between posts. I am still working on my Aran Sweater. Still working on the sleeves. I started a crochet scarf for my cousin it's going pretty good. Listening to Harry Potter on cd at work. Reading The Broken Circle, by Cheryl Potter. When I finish the sweater I will post it on Facebook. I tried several times to add pictures to my post here but for some reason I can no longer add pictures to my posts.

Long Time Since My Last Post

This has been a hard year for me and life just does not seem very exciting.  I am listen to books on my Kindle and still trying to finish my sweater. My daughter and I went to Myrtle Beach this summer and I was happy to see the ocean again because last time was December 2006. It was also a little sad because my Mother was not with us, see died February 28 2014. She loved the beach and the Sunday before she died we started planning a family trip for this summer but she did not make it, I can not believe it has been almost 7 months. Time passes by quickly. Months ago I could not post a picture on this blog and so it makes it hard to show updates on my sweater. I finished the back and now working on the sleeves. Maybe one day I will finish.

Still Knitting, Working, and trying to keep going

I have not blogged in a long time. I still working on my Aran  sweater. I have started working on dishcloths Knit Dishcloths by Julie Ray it is a Leisure Arts pattern book 15 patterns inspired by quilt blocks. So far I have finished two King's Crown and House, and currently working on Arrow Point. When you finish all of them or as many as you want you can stitch them together and make an afghan. No pictures of my sweater at this time and am decreasing the back of the sweater.      

Trying to Keep Going

It has been a long time since my last post and a lot has happened to me and my Family. On February 28 2014 Our Mother passed away, it was exactly  one year and twenty five days between her death and my Grandmother's her Mother's death. March has been a very hard month. A month of trying not to cry and lay in bed everyday. After the funeral and going back to work it has been hard  to make my self keep going but I have to and on Friday I found it hard to believe a month had already past. I am still working on my sweater it is slow going and in June it will be a year since I started the sweater. I am working on a baby blanket for my niece  her first child due in May. It's going well and I have a scarf on the needles for a friend.

Ready for Spring !

I am so ready for spring!!! I am tired of rain and snow. We had a snow storm Wednesday. Our agency closed at 1:00 it was a slow ride home. I might live 10 minutes away from my job and on Wednesday it to over 30 minutes to get home. People passed me because I was driving slow. When I took me to my home a car could not get up the slight incline another car was trying to get around him, I was thinking why are you trying to get around this man while his car is still moving and sliding around.  Finally he stopped moving and the person got around him, then it was my turn so I waited until this car stopped trying to move a very slowly made my way around him and off the exit. It took 25 minutes for me to make it to the turn off for my neighborhood. I was a very happy girl when I made it my driveway. I did not move my car again until 11:30 am today to go to work my office opened today at noon. Spent Wednesday afternoon and Thursday afternoon watching it snow and watching tv threw in some kitting.

WINTER BLUES

It is February and I am ready for the first day of Spring.  The last two Wednesday's in January we had weather related issue's. I know people think really! a dusting to a few inches of snow? but it is enough in the south to make things come to a stand still. I finally finished reading A Fatal Fleece, by Sally Goldenbaum  it was a great read it took so long because I have a hard time getting into my hobbies like I did a few years ago. However I still brought a copy of Betty Hechtman's lastest Crochet mystery made it to chapter 9 so far so good. Still working on the first in her new Yarn Retreat Mystery. I have a few more I am trying to work on also. I finally started the decrease on the back of my Aran sweater. It is slow going because I don't want to mess it up and have to rip out a lot. I have not worked on it in at least a week. Due to the weather last week's Wednesday knit night was canceled. Working on a few dishcloths for my daughter's friend.  Quick up date! Happy Crafting!
