ravelry has inspired me!

My recent invitation to join ravelry.com has inspired me to re-visit blogging.

Just cast on for Cables and the Lace Kimono Wrap Cardigan from sweaterbabe.com.

So far so good...It is a more involved pattern than I have worked on lately, so its definitely keeping me on my toes. Not like Thermal, which I could knit in my sleep (maybe thats why I'm STILL working on it!!)

I've also started a pair of socks that I plan on gifting to my gram for xmas...pics later...I have to ease myself back into the blog. (plus hubby is bring me Jack in the Box for dinner as we speak!)

p.s. boo hoo, my Buffalo Sabres keep losing! damn hockey!

a new look for the bliz-og

hope you like...please be patient while I figure all of this newness out!

new thermal progress...

heres my most recent progress shot of thermal:

Not too bad. I tried it on and though it is definitely curve hugging, I think that it will be perfect once it is blocked.

I haven't been updating the blog as often as I had hoped because hubby and I are in the middle of moving into our new house! YAY! I am very excited! So bear with me for the next month or so!

thermal progress

coming right along...

first sock!

I should have known better than to take up sock knitting. I am notorious for not finishing what I start. I have, though, finished my first sock! It is Monkey from Knitty. Yes, I said sock, singular. The other one is on the needles and I have great intentions of completeing it soon, be we'll see. For now I will show you my very lovely half a pair of socks:

The yarn is Lorna's Laces Shepard Sock in Bittersweet. It is really beautiful yarn. And yes, I am truly that pale.

ok, ok!

I guess that I have been gone quite awhile!

I've been knitting, so I will be sharing all of that excitement with a bunch of pics in the next few posts.

I have just finished my first sock...Monkey from Knitty...and have begun knitting Thermal (also from Knitty). Here's a quick pic of my Thermal so far:

I'm using the exact yarn in the exact color from the pattern. I am such a sheep!

More to come, stay tuned...(though I know that I am talking to the wall since no one in their right mind is still reading a blog that hasn't been updated in over 6 months!)
