BSJ for # 3

I am quite proud of myself. I have made it farther on this BSJ than in others past, so I am excited to see how it all fits together.

Once I do that, there will be no stopping me then.

Today, my dear friend, Morwenna, stocks some yummy deliciousness of yarn in her two stores ... I am really wanting to get a rainbow grouping of yarns but I would also really love to get some other colorways.

But being restrained by money is a hard and terrible thing. LOL!

I need to lay off of yarn purchases for ... oh ... maybe a week?

I just got some VERY yummy yarn in yesterday's mail from Selah called Fruitful. There is one more skein sitting there in their cart right now, and I could really get it to pair up with the one skein that I have now to make a pretty sweater for # 3.

Do you see a pattern?

I think I need to venture into making a sweater for # 2.

Nothing like getting into the summer season wanting to make sweaters.

Wanting to get back into the swing of things. Feeling the juices flowing again.

The silence .... no knitting ... unbearable

Last night, I finally picked up some yarn and needles.

And frogged a project.

I have this beautiful handspun from a fellow WAHM ... orange, blue and brown. It is soft and beautiful.

I was using it to make a one piece cardigan for $ 3.

And I wasn't feeling the love.

And then ... I met a fellow Ravelry-er. Amy, who works across the street from me, stopped over to intro herself and to catch up for a few minutes. She inspired me to give that BSJ another try. And I am making the BSJ, I think. If it doesn't fit # 3, it will be my nephew's Christmas present from me.

Because, my friends, I am sure that is when it will finally be finished.

Still working on some socks, still trying to gain some inspiration.

I think I need to look for some fairs and shows and stuff to get into.

I was going to make the Rambling Rows jacket, and then I saw that it is all knitted in blocks and then seamed together.

Me + seaming = an unhappy household so I think I will spare my family.

Progress

I have actually started sock # 2 and am into the pattern repeats for the leg portion. I am actually going to finish up another pair of socks for myself. I can hardly believe it.
