It has been way to long since I have posted. Is there a reason for this? No. I have just been lazy. Yes. Lazy. Shocking I know. But sometimes a girl just needs to be that way. I even have pictures for you of a sweater that I finished from over a week ago that I still have not downloaded from my camera. Anyways…

1) Cadenza sweater: I have completed the body and one arm. I had completed the border on one of the fronts but have changed my mind about the style after picking up the second side and knitting a few rows. So rip rip rip of the second side. I am now knitting away on the new front of the cardigan. I will take pictures this weekend. I am enjoying the yarn. The color does pool a bit but I am of a mind that the yarn is going to do whatever it wants to do and who am I to mess with it? Of course, there are times when you are going for a certain look and perhaps pooling isn’t the desired effect. Normally however, it doesn’t bug me.

2) I haven’t been sleeping. I was severely sleep deprived. I hadn’t slept for a solid night through in months. MONTHS PEOPLE. I was starting to be at the point where I couldn’t even put coherent sentences together and was a spaz. I feel for my friends who had to put up with me. Anyways, last night I crated the dogs, took some pills, cleaned the kitchen, cleaned the bathroom, designed two patterns and then went to bed. (sounds rather manic when I put it that way) I fell asleep around 12ish and slept till my alarm at 6 this morning. YEEHAW. Almost a new woman. Now I am only sleep deprived. Not severely sleep deprived.

3) I bought the Baby Suprise Jacket pattern from Schoolhouse. They faxed it to me so I wouldn’t have to pay shipping AND wait for it to arrive. Which is great. There are currently 2 people in my office who are pregnant and the woman I currently share an office with is going to be a grandmother. They all know I knit so I figured I should probably do something for them.

4) Babette: yes I love her. I have sections 1-3 put together and am working on section 4. It is the “beside my bed while I watch a movie” crocheting. I don’t expect it to be done super quick, I am aiming for Christmas. On another crochet note, I received the book with the Hexagon blanket in it yesterday…

5) I broke down in tears yesterday. I am sure a huge part of that has to do with being so tired I can hardly stand myself. I sat in my car, in the garage (yes the car was turned off) and cried hard for about 5 minutes. Then it was done. I went inside, fed the dogs and sat down to watch me some Big Brother 8. Want to know who won the HOH competition? Oh I’m not going to spoil it here … but lets just say next week is going to be interesting with the double elimination that will be happening.

6) I just obtained the Rowan magazines 1-20 … DO you even want to begin to imagine how pumped I am about this?? That means that my collection is complete. I may have some duplicates but I don’t care. I have been trying to get the whole set for six years!! AND I don’t have to pay for shipping because the woman I bought them from is sending them here when her husband comes up for work! SCORE baby SCORE.

7) Dyeing: I am going to be experimenting with my dyeing again. I do quite a bit of it but at the moment I want to try a few other dyes to see how they will react. I had to stop for a bit because my house was WAY too hot but now that its cooling off again at night its easier to do my dyeing as the added heat isn’t a big issue. I’ll make sure to post pictures of that too once I have some done.

Anyways. This is my pictureless post with my blurbs about what is going on. Have a great long weekend and I will talk to you all soon. With Pictures.
