One of the two...

... projects that I am working on. Since I can't show you the other one, here is the gift I have started for my grandmother. That's the very bottom of the Wandering Aran Fields capelet. It's very cosy and warm already, and absolutely full of cat hair. It's like the yarn demands cat hair. I've given up and I'm hoping I can lint brush it out at the end. A girl can hope!

I dream of Le Slouch

Apparently knitting has worked it's way into my dreams. Perhaps in preparation for our move North (most likely to MI) some point later this year, my dreams have me sporting fabulous knitted items to keep me warm. While napping to recover from St. Patrick's day, I dreamed of wearing Le Slouch, which will be going on the project list at some point. I think maybe I should make it as my last FL FO. Fitting?

Maybe it's because my yarn and pattern for Flair arrived. I better get moving on everything else because this can actually be worn to work in Florida. The Blue Sky cotton is gorgeous. Hooray!

Cats are better than FO's right?

I hope so, because I have no FO's, and nothing even close. What I did have today was two very cute cats (and one who hid from me all day, and a very clean dog).

Hermione climbed into a bag and Dinah into a basket... so cute and sweet.

Lady E moving along

I spent a few days at a robotics competition dealing with sullen and selfish teenagers. Some of them were lovely, of course, but it is all sullied by the shitheads. But, I got a bunch of knitting done. Wicked is back on track and Lady E made a lot of progress. I'm up to 13 tiers! Yay.

Rrrrrrrrip!

I frogged all of Wicked. Why? Because I am a dumbass and I didn't count correctly when I marked for the sleeves. So, it would work perfectly if I had a hunchback.

I will never finish this sweater... which is ok, because my new patterns will never arrive. Where are you freaking Interweave Knits Spring 2007? Huh? I see you in the stores.

I am the slowest knitter of all time

Nothing is moving forward. Nothing. I completely blame the AI chat girls who distract me and force me to drink heavily. (Every time Randy says Dawg or Pitchy, Paula dances and if Simon is especially insulting - so I am tipsy by the end!) I think I managed to get in two whole rounds on Wicked during AI last night. 2 rounds! Ridiculous.

And, I am sorry to say that I have a social life for the next three nights. Expect little to no knitting until Sunday. But next week I will make up for it. I am chaperoning a robotics event with my husband the teacher/advisor. I get to organize our schedule and activities before we go and then sit in the stands and cheer and knit, an assignment I am absolutely suited for. Organize, plan social events, cheerlead and knitting. That pretty much sums up most of my talents.
