Hey Ladies!

I finished my February Lady and I love it. I am so happy with this sweater. I actually wore this sweater to work this week and actually kept it on all day. When people commented on it I said thank you and did not point out any of the things I thought were wrong with it. I actually wore a sweater that I knit for myself! The pattern is so easy to follow and I love the results. I even like the color.

I spent the week knitting and sewing bunny nuggets for easter gifts. The pattern is fun and I was able to stash dive for all the weird odd ball leftovers to make bunnies. Photos to follow for sure. But for now oogle my sweater. Totally unrelated but I decided my new signature curse word will now be "For Fucks Sake" I heard it when I watched Happy Go Lucky with the boss. He doesn't like it but I do so I say for fucks sake boss its my new signature curse word at least for this week.

Pssst. Still here? Gotta tell you this; sister (and cousin) and I got tickets for the Martha show! When you ask oh only on earth day how crazy is that?

Facts are useful in emergencies

Progress is being made on the February Lady Sweater and I am loving it. The lace setup rows gave me a hard time as usual. The first three repeats of any lace pattern drives me nuts but this was worse because I had to rip back over 300 stitches three times. Funny when I need to concentrate I have to work on the bus in the mornings I can't fully focus at home or work too many distractions. But on the rush hour bus listening to a podcast I can focus fully.

Moving plans continue. I have been taking things to the thrift shop, recycling and trashing junk like crazy but I still can't muster any excitement for the damn move. It just makes me angry and I don't want to do it but I will. Enough of this let's talk about knitting. The first two photos are of the lady in progress. The third is the tote I sewed myself that she travels in. Nothing is too good for my lady!

Bolsa De Perro Bag

I almost forgot about this one! Another awesome project from Andean Folk Knits by Marcia Lewandowski. I am obsessed with this book I love it so much! I also finally finished up the last of the Cascade 220 I bought at Rosies last year. I made the big Ivy, the Anatolian mittens, the Lapland mittens and finally this bag with the nine skeins I bought. What a great value.

Work continues on the February Lady and my Earth Day Swap presents. Everything else is the same and that is not a bad thing.
