Okay...I'm sorry!

I know, I know. I should have updated eons ago. I will not even try to offer an excuse (Becky's fault), and will only ask forgiveness. Is anybody else having trouble keeping a blog updated, keeping Ravelry updated, knitting, and doing this other thing called life?

...the knitting... Here's Jessie's Lucy, felted and looking lovely. The colors (Grapes on the Vine) really blended nicely, and I'm so pleased with the final result! Only thing left is to head to Yarn Haven and find the perfect button(s) for it. I saw some last Tuesday that I liked a LOT! Doesn't the bottom of the bag look oh so cool?













I must say, I do prefer the sport weight bag to the worsted weight. It's a really nice size, and perfect for a wallet, cell phone, make-up and yes, banana chips!


Becky turned me onto the Irish Hiking Scarf, so I'm doing one for Ellie using Berraco Comfort in a Burgundy tone. Now don't turn your nose up....although it's an acrylic blend, this yarn is realllllllllly soft and beautiful! The pattern is slow but steady and perfect for InsanKnitty.








Also, I knit up a hat with some beautiful yarn that Patti gave me for my bday last April! I think I have enough to make another, too! Pay no attention to the fuzzy pic...I had to use the webcam to snap it, cuz my short, stubby arms aren't long enough to take a self portrait with the digital camera.

Hmmmmmm...let's see...what else? Ohhh...I know. I started my Block of the Month class at Yarn Haven! OMGoodness...what a riot. If ONLY Barb would show up sober, we may actually get something done! In any case, here's the pattern for October (in progress)! I've decided to do it all in one color: Manos, Putty. I'm going for elegant simplicity! Looky closely...you can kinda see a pattern forming! Shout out to Dale Ann for casting on my 52 in a moment of laziness. LOVE that poncho, Dale!













By the way, bot the Comfort yarn and the Manos were purchased at Yarn Haven...if ya want some of your own!

Since I decided to go with a rather plain color for the BOM afghan, I decided that KnitPicks new Harmony needles would be just what I needed to keep my mojo going throughout the next twelve months! Aren't they coooool?

Okay...quick poll...Is this worsted weight Lucy Bag terribly ugly? Don't spare my feelings....is it? I still need to do the straps, but I'm just wondering if it's ick! I like it, but then again, I still like Rick Springfield...so who knows! Anyway, I think I'll do the straps in red....thoughts? Please don't tell me to do the straps in the tan color, cuz I just don't think I have enough left....nor do I have enough green to do BOTH straps. Hee hee...so tell me to do them in the periwinkle or in red.



Thanks so much for stopping by! Peace!
