To Keep Katie Entertained

Rocky only looks sweet and innocent.
This is after he had knocked over the trash can
for the 18th time that day. We have taken to just
leaving it that way.





I love when he tries to fit his fat butt in
my inbox on my desk and then tries to
eat my bills.






Laurie's Socks





My new purse. I saw it in a store and
thought, Hey I can make me one of those.

Pretty things.

Rewards for making it through the semester.

And I thought I was all done.

Thought I was all done with baby sweater making for a while, but people keep getting knocked up. STOP IT. :-) My hands are tired. Heh

Here is the latest finished sweater, hat and booties.

Steph has fabulous taste!

This is the beautiful and funky fun yarn that Steph got me for my birthday. I can't wait to see the project I make with it. She suggested a scarf. I think she is right.

The Week of Finished Projects

Two baby sweaters and some socks.

A month late

Finally took pictures of the yarn dad "bought" me for my birthday. Lovely Lorna's Laces for my Clapotis shawl. I saw this shawl a year or so ago in a yarn shop in Maine and fell in love. I just couldn't justify the cost of the yarn, but dad told me to pick something out for my birthday. So I did. Found a wonderful yarn store (LettuceKnit) in Toronto that I have a feeling I will be frequenting once I move up there. Its in a very eclectic neighborhood. Wonderful yarns.....I was in heaven. Would have brought home the entire store if I could have.

I started the Clapotis shawl from knitty.com, but I haven't gotten too far yet. Its one of those items that I have to be very awake to work on.

Works in Progress

Been trying to finish up some of my knitting projects before I start new ones. Sara's socks are done. The baby sweater is done, just have to tie in all the ends. And I gave up on finishing the shawl I started forever ago. I dropped a stitch or two and I can't figure out where.

I started my fingerless gloves last night and its my first foray into the world of cabling....so far so good. I will post pictures once I do all the finishing work on the sweater and socks.

On the school front. Our clinical instructor got "let go", so the 6 of us in our group got reassigned to other groups, all evening shift. Its amazing how the right instructor and right group can make your day 100 times less stressful. So other than having to adjust to evenings, I think I will be much happier.

Back to knitting....gotta love days off.

Knit Buddy

My nursing school friend Sara made this little guy for me. Thanks!!! His name is Samuel Ferguson. I love the fact that my nursing school friends have the same affinity for naming inanimate objects and the same level of knitting distraction that I experience.


Also went to a new knitting shop in Holden today. All sorts of good sock yarn. Wish I had millions to spend and tons of time. Then Qdoba for lunch. Yummy. Great way to spend the afternoon, cause oh yeah....We are done with classes for the semester. Have three finals next week. Then a glorious 19 days of no school. 11 of which will be in Canadia. And I have a feeling my body will completely shut down because I am no longer able to process a lack of stress. Lets hope not though. I want to enjoy Canadia, eh!
