I am not witty enough for a title today!

I made it up to stitch group yesterday. Those girls are amazingly wonderful, and Jo particularly is completely at fault for the below addiction notice. I also managed to come up with a ton of Christmas gift ideas on the drive home, only managed to write down half of the ideas before forgetting them. I just hope I can actually get them done in time.

I am now COMPLETELY addicted to cotton yarn. I think it may have replaced my addiction to Simply Soft. I still love the sheen of Simply Soft, but oh how wonderful the cotton feels. And oh how tempting it was to grab Jo's stash of it and run...



I'm about halfway through Bry's scarf now, and hopefully I can get it completely done by the time I land in MD this Sat. That only leaves the Transformers rug for MarMar and then all of my WAY overdue birthday gifts to people should be done.




On another stitching group note, I set up a stitch meet at work. Thursdays at 1pm, for lunchings. I'm contemplating letting the office manager know that we are doing this and I'm willing to teach basics for free, but I think that will have to wait until after my vacation.

Thanks to DL, Jo & my dad, I've also got a myriad of ideas of a business to open. Of course in my head all of the ideas fail. Miserably. Only time will tell if I follow through with them.... >:D

4 months!

So, I've been telling myself over and over that I haven't update in a long time and I need to. Then I get distracted by shiny objects and forget again.

I was on a bit of a hiatus from my crafting, and my podcast listening. I'd like to blame it on the boy and the breakup, though I'm not sure I can. As soon as I had to go to the dentist again, I picked everything back up. Which happened to be around the time I started seeing dreadlocks boy, who will just be DL from now on. I guess when I think of it that way I could blame the old boy for the hiatus. Or just my inability to knit while single.



I've finished off the never ending blanket for my cousin's baby a few weeks ago, and failed to get a picture of it before I mailed it out. Make 3 little baby hats too, only got a picture of one.

I managed to teach myself broomstick lace and made a mini-scarf for my niece. I still need to block it out, but I will get a picture before she gets it. I also finally finished off my roommie's R2D2 hat! Got pictures, just haven't uploaded them.

All in all, I've been pretty productive the past couple weeks, just not at all for the other part of the 4 months.



I make no promises for updating more often. Mostly because every time I do, I end up going on a HUGE hiatus.
