whoots on my hooters...

i am happy to announce that i have finished my owls sweater...it's too freakin cute...and warm too...i may just add a set of eyes on one of the owls...if i do it'll be the back of the left shoulder...also i finished knitting up dami his slippers...i renamed them his zippy mcflippy's cause when running threw the kitchen he continually does the splits or busts his butt...i guess i better hurry up and knit dani a pair or i'll never hear the end of it...i have more then enough yarn so they'll end up with matching ones...i've really been enjoying this cooler weather...there is nothing better then cracking the windows and letting in all the fresh air...sure seems to be doing me some good...well...off i go...i want to try to finish dani's slippers before he returns home from school...that gives me about an hour or two...




on the needles...hmmm...dad's sweater...and to finish up loki...

whoa nellie...

look at me go...as you can see...i've been a knittin'...as a project rolls off my needles...another is being cast on...it's a miracle i say...there is nothing like a quick gratifying knit...i knit myself the slouched tuva hat...great one evening knit while watching tv...and while my mum was visiting for the weekend she wanted to snatch it up...but i would not let her...maybe after the season is up i'll consider it tho...while visiting she brought me some cascade ecological wool so that i could knit myself up the owls sweater...i knitted up the sleeves last night and cast on for the body today...so far it's knitting up rather quickly...and i'm loving it...i have a few ideas in the back of my mind for some quick x.mas gifts however we'll have to see how long my knitting mojo last for...i have to cast on for my dad's hemlock blanket...but i'm presently using that circ for my sweater so i'll have to wait till it's off the needles...


i may do a drive by michaels to pick up some lion brand thick and quick for some slippers for the little one...who hasn't been feeling the greatest...saturday night i had to take him to the hospital...he was crying/complaining that his ears were sore...and whatdoyaknow...a double ear infection...he's been a little more clingy then usual...but that's to be expected...i'm thinking maybe some slippers will make him feel a little better...while i'm there i better pick up some yarn for dani...he's been wanting me to knit him up a slouch hat...he's been wearing one of my old ones and now thinks that it's his...

on the needles...the owl sweater...dad's sweater...and i still have yet to pick up a darning needle to finish up loki...i dunno how i lost them all...but i did...

back on track...

*scratches head* i guess i've been absent for a little while now huh...damn sometimes i feel as if there are not enough hours in the day...and other times i'm wishing my life away...go figure...well as you can see i've gotten some of my knitting mojo back...i'm knitting his and her hemlock ring blankets for my parents...and i finished another gail nightsongs shawl...this one i'm keeping...i gave the other one to my mother...i started and i'm keeping my fingers crossed that i'll have my dad's sweater finished in time for christmas...lately every time i pick up my needles my little one asks me if i'm knitting him his socks...now that the weather is getting a little cooler i think i'm going to knit him up a quick pair of slippers...

as for the boys...well...

dani got his report card yesterday and is doing quite well...1st quarter down...3 more to go...his birthday was a few weeks back and he's now 14...he went to his first school dance and had good times...he's becoming a young man...where does the time go...it feels like just yesterday that i was dropping him off at daycare...now the girls are starting to call my house and cell asking if they can speak to him...damn..i'm not so sure i'm ready for this...it came a lot quicker then i thought it would...

dami...well he's the same and up to his usual tricks...i'm growing out his hair for his grandma who has stage 4 cancer and has lost hers...it's driving ricky crazy...he's sick of everyone saying what a cute little girl he is...he likes it better when he's clean cut...oh well...he'll get over it...i still think that he looks handsome...he's really taken to the radio and certain songs...thanks to dani owning my radio every time he jumps in my ride...lookin' in my rear view i see both of them boppin' their heads...it's a site to see...

and as for ricky...well he crashed his ride on the track a few weeks back...he was a little bruised up...his motorcycle has seen better days...however...it doesn't look bad considering he high sided...

on the needles...loki's been put on hold...my darning needles gone mia...dad's sweater...dad's hemlock blanket...and i'm thinking about casting on for the owls sweater...i need a warm sweater for the cooler months...
