Julie's Knitting Knews

Nothing going on

No knitting to report. Have not been in the mood lately with all that is going on with my family. Maybe I will knit again in the future. Not sure when.

Still knitting along

Well, not much to report on the knitting front. I am still working on the candle flame shawl for my mom. I sure hope she will like it. I will have to see if she will have my pops take a pic of it and then mail that to me as I no longer have a didgital camera.

Hope to change that soon as I am now working for the State of Oregon in the Child Welfare department. I do relative searches for kids in foster care. The state would rather place the kids with family than strangers as it makes it easier on the kidlets.

GRRRRRR!!!!!

Well, that damn frog has hit again. I have ripped out the scarf I was working on for my mom for Christmas!! This is the final time this will happen as I am going to toss the damned pattern in the garbage. No offense to the author of the pattern, but I just can’t take screwing it up any longer. I have tried to knit this darned thing several times and have had enough!!

OK, rant over, I think. I am going to try to find another pattern that I can work with interuptions and not screw it up!

My Favorite/Least Favorite Yarn…

I think that my favorite yarn to work with has to be Caron Simply Soft. I just love the way that it feels in my hands and it works up so nice. As for my least favorite yarn, well that has to be anything that is novelty type or Boucle. I do not like the way that either of them feels in my hands, nor do I like working with them because they tangle so easily.

Well, I finished making Karen’s ….. ah, still can’t tell you. LOL It is all pacjkaged with all kinds of goodies and waiting for me to get money to send it off to her. I have pics of ALL the goodies that I included in the box. There are LOTS of them. I can’t post pics of anything until after she gets her package. I am hoping to be able to send it out next week. UGH! I hate when money doesn’t come in when it should.

I got tagged!!!

I was told to go have a look at Penny’s blog and sicovered that I had been tagged!! I spose I should list my 6 weird things…hmmm, will have to think a minute about that…tick tock…tick tock…tick tock…
ok, here goes…
1. I am entirely too darned picky about letting anyone, including my daughter, use my computer. It just causes anxiety.

2. I don’t let anyone water my plants. They just don’t do it right.

3. I MUST be the one pushing the grocery cart in the store or I feel weird.

4. I can’t sleep unless my dog and cat are on the bed in their spots.

5. I can’t fall asleep until I have watched certain shows in my room at night and set the timer on the tv.

6. I have to take a bottle of water, the phone, and, my cigs in my room at night when i go to bed.

OK, here are the next 6 to be tagged…
Janet (skein of things)
Mimi
Nancy @ The Jersey Shore
Brenda (ssk)
THE KNITORIOUS MRS. B
The Knitstress

THE RULES: Each player of this game starts with the ‘6 weird things about you.’ People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says ‘you are tagged’ in their comments and tell them to read your blog.”

Progress on Christine’s Afghan

juliesknittingknews — Sat, 30 Dec 2006 16:27:15 +0000

I took a few pics of what I have done to this point with this afghan. I couldn’t get the entire ghan in one pic so I took three, from left to right as the afghan was on my chair.

Two more cloths and a towel done
