means I should be doing things other than blogging, like cleaning the litter boxes and packing. :) Instead I am uploading pictures and though I would share with you some things I am working on and taking with me.
First the little leaf lace scarf, made with malabrigo merlot lace weight yarn, yummmmmmmmm. I'm loving this yarn so very much, an doesn't the scarf look pretty? This is going into the random Christmas pile. I didn't have luck doing it on the train, so it will probably stay in the suitcase until I land in Maine.
Second yummy top down bamboo yarn socks. These are for me, and will have one color cuff, heal and toe, and different main body parts, as I don't have enough of either color way to do a complete pair.
Thirdly Lady Moss Mittens, from craft leftovers. I went stash diving for these materials, and they will be Jenni's Christmas present. She takes the CTA all winter long, so these will keep her fingers toasty!
More socks!! These are sadly staying here, as I have run out of yarn and must wait for Yarn Tree house to deliver more. To be truthful I've needed to order yarn for about 3 weeks and kept forgetting, otherwise they would have been done long ago. I don't think Scott will wear wool socks in the summer anyway!!
Finally the slouchy sweater Knit1 magazine. I love this pattern, and I am making it with Prairie Silk Jadded Moss colorway, soo pretty. FYI Lambs Pride is disconcontinuing the line, so get it while you can. I actually got it at the discounted price when I saw the flier come into the store, probably the cheapes silk sweater ever!! This too is staying home, as it is just to big to pack!!
Well off to iron and watch the all star game. I have to pack everything for a week into a carry on, as I REFUSE to pay USAir 15 bucks to check my FIRST bag. I'm stubborn like that.
Exciting news on the job front. After losing all those jobs to men in theater (cuz ya know I'm missing some equipment) I've been offered a full time postion at a womens health clinic in Aurora!! This means full benni's for me and my partner, as they do domestic partner benefits, and a shorter commute, and regular pay. WOO HOO. However I will be floating, so I should still be on some late night trains home Pat. ;)
