Sigh.

Man oh man. I am pathetic. Get me into something that requires me to blog and I stop doing it! The combination of second shift, holiday knitting and visitors has not been good for my blogging. Anyways, before I do absolutely anything else I really need to thank my SP 11 Mia!

Thank You Mia!!!

She spoiled me absolutely rotten despite my lack of acknowledgement on here. I think I've missed posting about a few packages (though pictures of all have been taken!) so I will do an extra special post with all the pictures this weekend when I have a lot more time. She was great at increasing my knitting library though (a book in each package!) and found some yarns that I had really wanted to try (or hadn't even heard of!). Thanks for making my fall great Mia!

In other knitting news:

Sigh. It's going to have to be non-stop knitting (other than posting pictures!) this weekend. But knitting is... fun... right? RIGHT?! hahaha

Lots Happening!

Wow... sorry everyone (especially my SP)... I thought I had updated more recently.

Anyways, Life has still been crazy. I've kind of joined up with a kniting group in the area and am taking some classes and such.... it's a lot of fun!

I also received my second SP 11 package! Thanks so much to my SP... it was great! I love getting the books since my knitting book collection is almost non-existant. The yarn is also gorgeous. And the bierdeckels!!! OMG! I LOVE them!!! I have a huge collection from when I was living there and I think these will go great with it. I haven't had a chance to take pictures yet, but I will have pictures up by the end of the week!

So yeah... big post once I get pictures taken.

Moved... but still no internet

Well, everything is now in the house (though no where near put away). Except a cable line. It was supposed to be installed today, but apparently when I told them "we don't have any outlets or anything, you need to install them" they didn't realize they needed to install everything. So now I have to wait longer for internet at my house. This coffee is getting expensive. At least I have my yarn, lol. Hope you all are well!

Moving Sucks

Hey guys. OK... so I have no internet (horray for coffee shops with WiFi!)... no furniture... nothing to knit except one sock. Life is stressful. But I thought I'd try to get a short blog entry in.. and I even remembered my memory card so I can add a few pictures!

I'll start with my first package from my Facebook Secret Knitting pal! She's from Canada and got me some yarn from a nearby wool mill (I think that's where it was from.. made locally for sure!) Anyways, it's some wool that is nice and warm. I haven't quite decided what to do with it though. Here's a pic of the contents:

And here's the package from my SP 11 pal! It was AMAZING! I have already kind of described the contents, so I think that for now... pictures will tell all:

(yeah, that's right, my pal is AWESOME!)

Moving

Hi.

I know. I PROMISED that I would post as soon as I got back. But it turns out that I'm moving... tomorrow. So I haven't had much time to breathe, let alone compose a blog entry covering the past 1.5-2 months. So. I'm leaving tomorrow, will hopefully be signing a lease for a rental house on Friday, and will post a big huge blog entry this coming weekend.

Hope you all are well... I feel an ulcer coming on.
