finished knitted item week!!

Well this has been the week for me to get some things done, that is for sure.

First I finished the Weasly sweater for Mom, very excited. It is made from the Charmed Knits book on size 9 needles with cascade 220.
I think I did good for my first sweater!!


Seondly I finished my socks, and before the 1 year mark!! I wore them today for the first time, woo hoo!! Quite comfortable I might add. Blocking really saved me on these, as the heal on the left one doesn't quite line up. They are a basic stockinette stitch, short row heal, made from the toe up.


I finished up some cat toys for the local shelter. A great way to use up scrap yarn I might add!!

I made my friend Abbey an Entwined scarf like myself, but didn't get a picture. Finished that on the train up to GR. Again Cascade 220.

I also got half way through the cats shelf blanket and cast on a hat for Scott.

I do so love when rehearsal get's canceled due to weather. :D

Whew what a week

Seems like everything that could go wrong this week did. My car had to go to the shop for mis-fire in the engine, my AD's aunt died so she went out of town while the director is in LA, I fell and slammed my skull on the ice, and today I found out I cracked a tooth and need a crown!!

tomorrow retail therapy at the LYS. %20 off sale, once a year!!

I also got lots done this week it seems. I finished some cat toys for my local shelter, and am seaming up my mom's sweater. It looks really good, I will post pictures when it is done. Or go check out my ravelry page.

I also got some really yummy loose leaf tea, which I am drinking now. My friend Kristin makes reuseable tea bags. I bought a couple and picked them up at the LYS. She gave me some yummy tea to drink with it to because they were a little late.

I am considering taking a spinng class with Kristin as well later in the month. I think it can be a lot of fun!!

Oh my friend Allia introduced me to this yummy restraunt called the Chicago Diner. It is yummy diner food that is all vegetarian and vegan! Makes me really happy!!

Kay I am done rambling now (hence the name of the blog). I will post pictures when I get around to taking them.
