Eh......

I thought I would have lots to say after not blogging for so long, but now I feel like I don't. Let me think...

So I went away for my long weekend, and had a good time. Went to several yarn shops-which was awesome. If I got lonely, I just logged on to my computer and connected with people. Gotta love technology. And it was a nice weekend away. Uneventful. I don't know what else to say. I shopped, and I knitted and I relaxed. It was nice.

Then, last weekend I went to MDSW. Had a great time with great friends, and shopped like they were going to stop selling yarn. Spent loads of money. But I got what I wanted, and didn't come come regretful of anything I hadn't bought. To me-that's a good trip. You don't want to be thinking of that yarn you should have bought but talked youself out of at the time. We took a class-which was just awesome. My first knitting class! And it rocked! I'm glad I had a good experience because it makes me excited to take another class down the road.


I've been just knitting away....I knitted a pair of Hemp socks-and if you are considering it-well, first of all, you clearly do not know me personally. Nor do you know what I went through knitting them. Just do yourself a favor a back away from that ledge. Ok? Ok.

And I finished a purse sock-which is a plain vanilla sock that I carry in my purse for time emergancies. Crap-you have to wait for that perscription you thought would be ready-Ah hah! You are prepared with the purse sock! Yay! You see? Purse sock. Well, I finished the pair, actually. And I cast on another-again, purse socks. Can't go wrong.

And I've got the Universal Tunic on the needles, and the Readers Wrap. And that stupid scarf that's bugging me for some reason. I hate that I have something on the needles that I never work on. I don't even want to work on it-which is the worst part. So frustrating because the yarn is sooo yummy and I want to use it, dang it! But I can't think of another project for it.

So that's what's on the needles. Oh! I also finished the blue sweater-which has it's problems, and the Marinas sweater from Webs, which I have to say, is my first turned-out-great-I-actually-wear-it sweater. So that's awesome. And just in time for the humid Lancaster County summer! But, really, I love it and I can't wait to wear it again. You never know-we get some cool nights here even in the summer.

And I think that's it. For now. Gosh-I have got to blog more. This whole Ravelry thing just sucks up my time-and I love it. Addiction at it's greatest. :)

Happy Knitting!
