Just keep knitting

After working on it off and on for 3 days I have clue one down in the books!




I'm going to crack open my Harry Potter and read some of that for a bit before I start Clue 2.

Yea I know I"m still reading my HP, but I figured I wanted to enjoy the book instead of hurrying to get it done...So far its REALLY good and I'm half way thru. I should be done with it in a few days...

Between knitting and reading and not to mention my hiking trip tomorrow I think This is going to be a VERY enjoyable weekend.

Did I mention that I found and moved into a new house...


WOOHOO go me lol

yarny goodness

So my Vineyard Heather came in finally so I can start my Mystery Stole...

I had some worries about the color, but then when I casted on I have decided that I love it...


I casted on and I made it thru to the first chart, I'm hoping to make it thru the next two charts today....

Just keep knitting right....

Shawl 1 down!

So I a making some shawls for a friends wedding in Dec. I started this shawl before the ride and after ALOT of frogging due to someone mis-placed ink pin...yea i know right...I lost all that work and had to start it over again, but I think its worth it...




Its just a simple vine lace pattern but i think in the cream its going to look GREAT with the brides maids dresses...

...a quick close up...



I'm a big believer that simple lace always looks elegant for any occasion.

Time to look for a new stitch and to cast on for shawl two.

New Potter

So I went to Borders to pick up my copy of Harry Potter to find out the friend I was going with was a diffrent color than i was. So my color and teacher was called and I got to the front of the line to go grab my book. This woman was standing next to me and asked if I was there alone, and I said no my friend is here but he is in back. So we started talking and she was like I'll make you a deal, I couldn't even GET a braclet to go in, if you take me in with you I will buy myself a book and you one for taking me. I was like what? and she repeated herself..I thought it thru either way I was going to get a book, if she cant get in then im buying it or she will be able to get in with me and she buys it... So I say what the hell...

Needless to say after getting her in and having a nice talk with her while we waited in line for the books she turned to me and said here...and bought me a new book mark to go with the BRAND NEW HARRY POTTER BOOK she bought me...

whats beter than a Brand New Harry Potter book? A free one! lol

She was really nice I told her she didn't have to buy me the book and she said that she had a great time talking to me about the book while we waited those 25 min in line that she would be happy to buy my copy.

Not to mention I was working on a sock during the party at Borders, I casted on there and its coming along nicely lol.

Then to add to it I got home to check my mail and I found orders from my ETSY store...

Yea a free book and money to boot.

I think that makes for a really good night.

Well folks back to my reading...LATA!
