Clicking away like crazy

My main focus recently has been cranking out that skirt from Greetings From Knit Cafe in the red knitpicks cotlin. And I'm 16 rows from being done! YAY! I wanted to work on it last night but I ended up baking about a million cookies for my mom instead. I have also been working on some baby and christmas presents, other wise the skirt might have been done. In facr, I just took a really cute little toddler dress to a baby shower last weekend. The pattern was out of Speed Knitting and it was so wonderfully simple and since it was knit in the round there was no sewing and very few ends to weave in. SUPER YAY. The skirt is going to have about a million and one ends because of all of the lace panels at the bottom. This weekend there is another baby shower so I am working on a quick gift for that one as well. And I've thought of a couple things I'd like to make as Christmas gifts if I have time. Where did the time go? Compared to all the time I used to have to knit, I feel like I get nothing done here! Oh well, I guess I will just have to start prioritizing my knitting. And maybe some people will just get late christmas presents. I hope everyone else's christmas knitting is going well!

I got my skinny scarf in the mail yesterday from the TeaTimeKnitters skinny scarf exchange. Its awesome. Its a medium shade of grey with kind of a diamond lace pattern in it. my partner, Stacy, is great. I hope she likes the package I mailed off to her yesterday. She also sent me some yummy looking chai tea and a cute snowman ornament and snowflake post-its. :-)

I guess I better get ready for work. I'd much rather knit.

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...

More Partying

Joining in with Tickle Me Tuesday!  I hope I'm not overloading you, but it's fun to party  ;-) I love this apron , but being a non-pinky, I wish it was blue. These amazing  soaps .   Yes, I said soaps!!! I can't stop looking at them.  One of these days I have to give in and order some. I want this  dress  sooooo bad. feminine, country, old fashioned... love. These  potholders  belong in my coffee themed kitchen.  I gaze at them often. So, those are just a few things tickling my fancy.  Sundresses are also tickling my fancy, if it would only get warm! Go visit the party and see what is tickling everyone else's fancy today!
