ARGGHHH!!!! I just spent the last 6 hours working on my ravelry site. I took pictures of my stash ( well most of it) and am in the process of getting my site in good order. It will be awesome to be able to view my "goods" with just a click instead of rifling through baskets to figure out exactly what yarns I have accumulated since I began this oh so expensive hobby! I have computer neck and need a good masseuse LOL. I am such a computer illiterate ...I started a blog back in dec and forgot about it...so I cut and pasted my lone entry to this one. I put a picture of myself on this blog site ...I call it ninja knitter!!! Imagine the cool num chuck sound effects as i wield my size 7's!!!! It is a pic of me and the never ending sweater from hell! I am making it for my DH and he better wear it!!!! I have been playing hooky from it ...cheatin' on it with mittens, lucy bags, neck gaiters and other immediately gratifying projects!!! The cowl neck gaiter is my second attempt at "winging it" without a pattern. Overall, I am pleased with how it came out. I needed a fast and easy car project for a five hour trip to Vermont for a weekend of skiing. I cast 60 stitches onto size 15 circular 16” needles and began a knit 1 purl 1 rib. Not quite half way up I switched to size 13 circulars and decreased at each side (56 stitches). Finished off the ball..leaving just enought to bind off! I put it on and wore it all weekend. The alpaca is stretchy stuff ..but it only enhanced the cowl effect! YAY!!!! I needed a reason to play with misti alpaca ...it is delicious!!! I am tactile and I stroked the ball the whole time I was knitting. I almost got us into an accident because I kept trying to get my DH to pet it!! He said he felt sorry for the poor naked baby alpacas lol. I can't believe the time!!! I need to turn the computer off ...make a lovely cup of tea and continue to knit the sweater from hell! I am feeling tired and I THINK i HAVE COMPUTER POISONING! Is there such a thing? I think so and I think I overdosed.
Don't be jealous of the beautiful luggage under my eyes!!!
