Can't Seem To Settle On A Project!

Here I go again.... going through a period of startitis! I have given up on the February Lady Sweater for now. The acrylic yarn just was too thick for my likes.
I found 1 skein of gray yarn for Summer's hat but I am not sure if it would be enough for it. I have to search for more gray in my stash (which is taking over EVERY closet in the house + my bedroom). Even though I am sure that I don't have anymore gray- you never know what I may have forgotten buying.


I have started 2 afghans (both crocheted). A ripple pattern for the livingroom in brown, tan, sage, dk green & white. I am not sure if I am liking the pattern though (Jeff picked out the pattern). I have tried 3 or 4 different patterns with this yarn so far and just cannot seem to find one to suit my fickle tastes.
I have also started Rectangular Granny afghan for my 4 year old niece Cierra. I am using white and the purple and pink yarns I found in my stash. I hope she likes it- it will be her Christmas gift.


I have also ordered MORE yarn. Mill ends from www.Angelicrafts.com 2 pkgs of variegated browns, 6 pkgs of chocolate brown, and 5 pkgs of white. The packages are between 15 and 18 ounces each. AS they get more colors in I will order more to have enough for the afghans I plan to make for everyone for Christmas next year.


This weekend I have to go do my Holiday shopping (I think I procrastinate hoping that the shopping fairies will do it for me). Jeff and I usually go out only 1 day and knock it all out! Then I come home and have a bottle of wine, a mixed drink (or five), or just sit down with the bottle of rum if it was REALLY bad and I wrap the gifts-LOL pretty bad Holiday tradition aint it???
We also have to pick out the tree, get it home, decorate it while watching "A Year Without A Santa Clause" and drinking hot-chocolate (for Jeff, Kirstey & Summer) and Egg Nog for me. Then we also have to decorate the outside of the house and the yard (Jeff does that part).


So, I guess I had better knit & crochet as much as possible before the weekend cause I know that there isn't going to be much crafting this weekend!

The First Official Post- Holiday Knitting

Hello Everyone!
This is the beginning of my blogging! What I hope to share with everyone are my knitting or crochet projects, maybe some personal patterns, some recipes when I deam up one that turns out well, and just general chat about my family, children, many pets and just life in general!

Right now I am working on the February Lady Sweater in light sage green. I am all of the sudden in a cardigan mood when I have never been one to wear one in my life! LOL- maybe it is a sign that I am getting older ya think???? Also, I just finished a pair of fetching fingerless gloves in Elann's Den-im-knit yarn- dark indigo colorway. I am absolutely in LOVE with this pattern! from start to finish they barely took a day! And they look SO complicated (even though they are easy-peasy). They were my first project with cables!

I have to start some holiday knitting soon or I will not get anything done! Not sure of what I am going to be working on yet. My youngest daughter Summer wants a slouchy hat, and my oldest daughter Kirstey wants some corset fingerless gloves. My oldest son Michael is asking for another beanie and my youngest son Robert hasn't asked for a thing yet! I already have my Mother's holiday socks finished (she will have a hissy-fit if she doesn't get hand knit socks for Christmas and we can't have that--it isn't very pretty to watch).

Well, off to find some ideas! Ta-Ta Y'all!
