2007 Knitalongs

July 21, 2008

and the Knitting goes on....

So hi, It is 3:00 am and I am wide awake. Not because I want to be, but KJ has her 1st fever and I can't sleep although she is knocked out. No crying Thank God. I think she will be fine. I will check again in the morning (although technically it is) So I will take this opportunity to blog.

ETA: KJ is on the mend. Fever is gone, Yay!!! But she has a perforated ear infection due to the cold (meaning congested nose) Boo!!! But she is doing better. I am so relieved.

Somehow my plain vanilla socks has taken hold of me (not to mention the heat wave we are currently experiencing here in NYC does not allow for knitting anything else.) I have been knitting feverishly (no pun intended) on these socks all week.

I love, love, love the colors of these socks and can't wait to finish them. This is how I spend my lunch time at work, I eat, then read and knit. Perfect...

This was my progress on July 16th, the day before my Birthday!

This was the progress as of yesterday. I am past the heels! Notice 1 of my new Piddly project bags, made by the girls of Piddleloop.com.

Can I just say I am a BIG fan of these girls. I have multiple bags and can see myself get more in the future. Okay KJ is up now and calling  so I will just leave you with a pic of 1 of my new glasses. BTW I think this is my new favorite self portrait.

Already One Month...Wow! (Warning Photo Intensive post!)

It is sad to say that it has been almost a month since I last blogged. But here I am. I have been blogging in my head but when it comes to putting down on 'paper' it was a no go. I was too busy enjoying the good weather with this little one, as evidenced by these pictures:
