Mail call!

Got a box from KnitPicks! Got the yarn I need for Gabriel's gift, 2 sets of circulars (2 & 3 in the 32" size, want to see if I can magic loop with them) and 2 more books.

I've been buying too many books lately - when I add things to my Ravelry queue it tells me which books I need for those patterns, and most of those books are ones I wanted to have anyway. But, yeah.

And now I have 3 projects on the needles.

Been spending too much time on Ravelry

My queue at Ravelry is HUGE! I'm not going to knit anything that I don't a) already have the pattern for and b) already have the yarn for unless it's important, like an item for Steph and Pete's new arrival. I had been racking my brain to find the right thing for that miracle baby, and it came to me yesterday when I was browsing patterns.

Of course, I had to order the yarn and #3 needles. I have 2 sets of interchangeables and neither of them go down to a 3. Sheesh!

The pain meds are making concentrating on my knitting really hard right now. Good thing I'm on the 9 inches of mindless knitting on the fuzzy feet. The good thing is since I'm working from home I can knit when things are slow :-)

WANT TO GO!!!

Yarn and more yarn

I was just up in the spare room, digging though my yarn in search for some decent stuff I've had for awhile that I want to enter into Ravelry.

Wow, I have a lot more yarn than I thought I did. I have a ton of acrylic, bought over several years, most of which is going to Mom for her church group to use. I still need to get that together.

But I found some lovely yarn I had totally forgotten I had, like some Manos del Uruguay in a beautiful purple (of course). I need to get it cataloged and posted to Ravelry.

I've been having a lot of fun up there, browsing patterns and adding them to my queue. I have a lot to get done for Christmas (and, yes, I am going to start that stuff this early).
