Happy Birthday to ME!!

Well yesterday was my 30th and I made it thru just fine. Best part was that I had the day off of work. I spent the afternoon visiting my two favorite LYS's . After hearing all about Socks that Rock by Blue Moon I had to splurge and buy myself a birthday present. I love this yarn. It is soooooooo soft. I can't wait to knit it up but for the mean time I am content to just touch it once and a while. I finished the Irish Hiking scarf a few weeks ago. I now have 3 fingers left to put on my second glove and DD #3 's sweater is coming along. I have put these items on the back burner because I have TWO baby showers this weekend. I have one set of booties and half a hat done and need another pair of booties and a hat done by Saturday. I know I can do it. I took a sick day today (I have the start of pneumonia) and spent the day knitting. I also have wed and thurs off .

One down one to go

I finished up the first of my gloves this weekend. It is absolutely gorgeous if I do say so. It is done in Trekking XXL and I don't know the color way but it is full of blues greens oranges and reds. I need to post pictures. Maybe on my next day off this week. (Wait my days off are filled with running around with children) I'm off thurs but daughters 1 and 2 have eye appointments and I have a dentist appointment. Working 12 hour shifts is great but my days off feel busier than when I am at work. I started one more new project this weekend. A top down raglan pullover for daugheter #3 who turns 4 next month. She LOVES purple which is one of my least favorite colors. So I went with Cascade 220 quatros purlple combo. It is really a lovely shade and is knitting up nicely. After the kiddes are in bed tonight I should be able to put the sleeves on waste yarn and set to knitting the body. I have just over a month to finish which should be plenty of time.

Happy New Year!!

I started my New Year off with some excitement and carpet cleaning last night. Daughter #3 came crying from her bed at 12:02 am. She was holding her nose and dripping blood all the way down the hallway. She has been plauged by nose bleeds this winter poor thing. I have been trying to find a balance between the dryness in the house and my allergies to mold (created by the humidifer). Humidifier on I suffer. Humidifer off kiddo suffers. I will say that spot shot is the best at cleaning what ever the kids throw at the carpet. As for new years knitting I almost completed my Irish Hiking Scarf which I am loving. I am knitting it in Cascade 220 Navy with a slight turquoise blue heather to it. (Can't recall the shade #) I will post pics when I figure that one out. My knitting goals for this year include sweaters for all three girls as well as one for myself. I am thinking of doing them in a slightly coordinated way for family photos this fall.
