Overknit...

I have a question...
What happened to the optimistic days of being able to wander
free and ignorant of the possible mishap of not constantly being communicado?

Grr!

A normally incoherant woman....
Today, I've been reduced to a frazzled woman with her rump in the air rooting underneath her front seats...
This display was in the Sports Authority Parking lot - (It's Soccer Season!)

I realized I'd forgotten my cell phone -
Apparently, I am propelled by fear to retrieve this AT ALL COSTS.

I can't quite feel like all is well if that sucker isn't right next to me waiting to ring.

57 minutes into my 60 minute lunch break I discover it on the coffeetable.
AT HOME.
What was so important to walk straight out the door forgetting my little ball and chain?

What better reason than my Knitting.

My Knitting...Oh My Knitting.
I'm 4 projects active right now...This is a record.
Calgon...take me away.

My Tunique Back is coming along nicely...

How many Neutrals can you spot!?

Variety..it's the newest accessory.
One to knit at work...
One to take a break from the Orangina...
One to work on at home...
and the other because I'm weak!!

:) gotta love it!
If this is stress...Pile it on!
I'll gladly be overknit!

Our littlest addition...
Pumpkin!

Pixie's such a good caretaker!
They are so cute together!

I can't help but play with her after Pixie goes to sleep...she's so tame and sweet!

It's been a bit busy!
Tonight...I'm turnin off the phone...
watching kids kick around some soccer balls...and Knittin!

That's what I'm talking about!

Fruit Stripe Socks...

Fruit Stripe Gum...

Remember that stuff?
The flavor lasted for about 2.3 seconds and then was nasty.
I liked the pink stripe best.
I used to get mine from Grandpa Pigeons. A retail store in Missouri .
Almost as country as the Piggly Wiggly.
I said Almost.

Fruit Stripe Socks...

Completed: August 2006
Yarn: Magic Stripes - Lion Brand Yarn
Color: Denim
Needle: Susan Bates US1
Pattern:My Typical Top Down Heel Flap Sock Pattern

I took this with my cell phone camera. Not too shabby for a cheapy LG!

My New Motto...
If I have to read boring Juniper Technical Manuals...
I'm knitting some damn socks while I do it.

These are off to sit in the XMAS 2006 gift pile...
For an undisclosed recipient with teeny feet - size 5 1/2 - 6 to be exact.
One xmas giftie done.
6 more to go.

Oh, I've got such high falutin' knitting dreams as of late...
the new magazines, the new books...
but really nothing blew my skirt up as much as this...
(Please forgive the awful puns...)

Handknitted for her pleasure

Really it's too much! ha!
(it maybe NSFW - but I looked at it here at work - I'd say it was PG-16)

The online mags have been kinda hit or miss lately...but this one knit is a classic.
Perfect for your bachelorette party for an unsuspecting Knitter.

Another pair of socks on the needles - for Pixie.
Small feet=Quick knitting=Feeling Good=Happy Me
Can you believe????
In one day, I've turned the heel and am booking down the foot toward the toe.
What??! Yeah, Okay!!
I've knit a bit more than I read...shhhh. It's really dry stuff.

Orangina steadily grows...but man so right... about how slow it goes/grows!
s l o w.
uggggggggggggggghhhhhhhh.
still beautiful though.

I've been swatching for a lovely pattern - I'm using Knit Picks Shine Sport for this...
