Also on a momentary pause

Like a fellow friend of mine, I too will be taking a week and a half of absence from the internet. Things should be back to normal in 2 weeks at the latest. Stay tuned c:

Lazy Days

Sorry I haven't been blogging much. With the cold winter, I haven't done much of anything. I have about 3 weeks to go on the hearts project and I haven't even begun yet. I guess that's what Sundays are for :)

I have spent alot of my time playing around on the internet, finding new patterns that I want to eventually knit.

Meh, I will try to post more often. Lets hope things start to get interesting or I at least get some knitting done so I have something to post about :P

Goals

Today started off rather dull. Hubby and I slept in, ate some breakfast and were just bumming around for the first half of the day. I decided since we were bored, it was the perfect day to work on my project for January. I wanted to clean/organize my craft area. After about 2 hours of cleaning, frogging projects I know I will never complete and moving all of my knitting books to the proper area, the Craft Corner now looks amazing! (will take pictures another day).

Next up on the goal list is to knit up some little somethings for the girls at work. Since I will only be there a few more months, I wanted to give them a little something for Valentine's Day. I have a month and a half to knit up 12 little hearts. It can easily be done.

Tonight's agenda? Catching up on reading some blogs, finishing off Calorimetry Number 2 and maybe watching some cute, corny movie. I'm thinking "Cinderella Story".

Welcome 2009!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a safe and wonderful New Years Eve!

Hubby and I didn't do much for the night. We went out for steak and shrimp at Applebee's then headed home for a quiet night in. We watched Kung Fu Panda and then watched the ball drop. Not exactly an eventful night, but it was perfect for us.

2008 was packed with all sorts of things going on. My cousin got married, then a few weeks later we got married. Hubby lost his job, I got a raise.

2009 should be different. Between moving halfway across the country and leaving my job in a few months, to adjusting to the move and challenging myself on knitting more than stockinette stitched projects.

Speaking of projects, I got the Irish Hiking Scarf completed yesterday. I measured yesterday at work and realized it was long enough, so I finished up to the 7th row in the pattern and voila! It's done! It was definitely a good scarf project and I believe I will knit more of these throughout the year. I modified it a bit since I was using bulky yarn. Instead of having the 3 cables like the original pattern, I went with just the 2 cables. Length wise, it goes to my waist, after being completely wrapped around my neck. Its so warm and soft!




Next up on the needles is Calorimetry. I have some worsted weight wool yarn that my mom and stepdad picked up for me in Alaska a few years ago. They only brought back one hank, 50 grams, 75 yards. Not enough for a full hat, and for a few years I have been trying to think of the perfect project to use it up. Once that's done, I can work on my gifts for next Christmas, along with a side surprise project for my co-workers.

Happy New Year everyone!
