My Family

Just thought I would post a few pictures of my family. Life is pretty hectic around here but we make it work.

My Finished Dishcloths

I took some pictures of my FO's - mostly dishcloths so far and I am attempting to add them here with this post. I'm hoping it'll work and I won't have to edit. I will be starting the Central Park Hoodie in 2008. I'm also going to CO socks and a beanie for my kids.

I'm in Ravelry - finally

I finally received my invite from Ravelry earlier this evening. It's going to take me some time to take pictures of my stash, FO's and WIP's. For those non knitters/crocheters: FO = Finished Objects and WIP = Work in Progress. Then there is always the UFO = UnFinished Object like my dd afghan which is on hold until after Christmas.

I have a couple of dishcloths in progress along with a scarf for dh, which I will probably frog and start fresh with an easier stitch since the Herringbone is way too slow for me, but it looks nice.

I've added a few friends from KH and will continue to add them day by day.

That's all for today but there's always tomorrow...

Yeah, it's Sunday and I'll finally be able to sleep in a little... 5 am is just way too earlier to rise!

Blogger Newbee

There has to be a first time for everything, right?

I woke up this morning and thought "hey, I wonder how I can make a blog". So I type blogspot (since that is what I've seen for a lot of other people) into Google and away I go. So much easier than I really expected.

A little bit about me:

I'm 42 (and proud of it), married for 15 years (almost) and we have two kids, girl - 14 and boy - 9. We moved to Southwest Florida 5 years ago and I LOVE the heat! I'm the only one that really does love Summer here. Now our Fall is here and the weather is beautiful. We are originally from Northern Illinois and I never want to shovel or drive in snow again (if I can help it).

We have three cats (I will post pictures when I learn how): Pepper is our oldest 1 1/2 yo, he is black and brown tiger striped with lots of white on his belly and legs. He is such a smart cat, listens to my husband but not me, oh well. Oreo is next at One yo, he looks just like his name when you twist off the bottom of an oreo, but our Oreo has this cute (macho) half mustache. Our newest is Lilly, she is 6 mo. old and as a kitten gets into everything. She is grey and black tiger striped with white on her belly. She could almost pass as Peppers sibling. Lilly has freckles with her whiskers, they are so cute.

I decided to do this blog to post pictures of my knitting - mostly dishcloths so far, but I'm going to try my hand at clothing in 2008. I have started and frogged socks for my son and a beanie for my daughter two-times each but I will keep trying until I succeed, although I'm waiting for after Christmas.

Christmas - it's not too far away. We have out tree "up", actually it's been up since just after Thanksgiving although we haven't decorated it yet. In fact if we want to decorate the tree we may have to put it in the garage so our youngest kitten can't reach it. She LOVES to climb it.

I'll stop here and see what comes next. I hope I didn't bore anyone too much.

Thanks for reading
