I'm knitting and I just can't stop

Well, I did take a short break after finishing my Mom's scarf. See how pretty?

But I have another order that I really need to get done. Now, our weather has been very kooky. 81 degrees in the day, 42 degrees at night. Very strange.

So I am not too worried that this one is taking me a bit longer to finish. It's for my manager. She had seen the slippers I made and said if I had any if that gray left to make her a scarf. Oh, but she wants it with black stripes. I am working on it now, and once I looked at it, I started laughing.

My manager came out and asked what was so funny? Here, take a look for yourself:

For anyone who may read my journal and not recognize those colors, those are the colors of a certain football team. And of course what makes it even funnier (to me anyways) is she is a fan of that particular team. But she swears that wasn't her reasoning. It just looked pretty, she said.

Anyhow, the team is:

See what I mean? I joked that I was going to get some patches and sew them on to her Raiders scarf! She got such a funny face. But no, what I am hoping to do is find an A monogram and put one on each end.

That will be unique to her, which is what I try to do with each scarf I make.

So I am excited to get that done. Hey, it's $10 that I didn't have before. And I am going to see if I can get that apron made for my sister. I am off Tues, Wed and Fri this week so anything is possible.

Goodnight for now..

I'm going nuts, I tell you!

So I am feverishly knitting my mama's scarf to give to her on Thurs. Why? 'Cause I can. But wow. I am not happy since I have to go back to Target again to get yet another camera for Alex. The first one stopped working after a few hours. And the one I picked up yesterday wouldn't even turn on today.

Now maybe the batteries it came with were almost dead, so I will try that first. But still..If worse comes to worse I will get my money back and go to Walmart instead. Sheesh, I feel horrible as that was her big present this year.

But she will have a new working camera by Thurs, I guarantee you.

It's pretty mellow here tonight, not too much going on. So on that note, I am going to stop typing and get back to knitting. Bye for now!

Oh, by the way, I posted the Christmas pictures to my Myspace. You don't have to be a member to look at them. Just go to this link:

I would have to say that 90% of my pics are family friendly. For those that are not, I apologize in advance. But I do have a lot of albums with different pictures, so have fun and feel free to take as many as you like. To see more in the album, just click on the main picture and it will open up the album for you.

Okay, now I am really am going. Bye!

Wow, I think I'm addicted to knitting

Okay, I'm going to swear for the first time on here. I'm calling this my WTF Scarf. Why, you ask?
Well, apparently I'm to be the Queen of scarves. I finished Amanda's and I got all antsy. I was going to take a small break, but I really wanted to start something new.

Jack had told me he wanted a red and black scarf, but he wanted it to be "different" from everything else I had already made. So here's what I came up with:



Yes, I am using 2 strands of yarn to make it. One is black and one is cherry red. He wanted it to be bold, he got it. I am going to try to not push myself too hard with this one as it's not a priority. But it should take me about a week to get it done.

Which is good, considering I will have to go and buy some fancy yarn to make a scarf for that special anonymous person on my XMAS list.

So I will have one gift all set to go. But don't think that means I am any more organized than other years. I have NO idea who wants what or even what the heck I am doing around that time.

One holiday at a time...that's how I work.

:laughs:
