Stop Pointing at Me

Hey again, here is one of Mikes Trigger Finger Mittens finished.
I haven't cast on the second mitten yet, I just started back on my set of 7. My days off coming up will consist of Hunting and knitting when I can, but mostly hunting. Me and Hubby have to get our meat for the winter. Deer season is almost over. The scarf isn't finished yet, it's not even half done. I swear that Zauberball is never ending lol. Hope to finish it soon before Christmas creeps up on me and i'm in a mad rush like every year to finish my Christmas knitting on Christmas eve. I say every year that i'm going to start earlier and not stress myself. But time slips through my hands every year. Oh well, I can only do what I can. And this year I have so many mitten requests I don't know where to start. Well i'm off to dream land. Till the next post.....  : D

I Hate Being Sick

Well folks i'm off on my 7 days of rest and relaxation only to end up sick with a head cold. I guess I can thank the million people who ride my bus to work sick. *Incert curse word here* Thanks a bunch!!!
As for knitting projects, i'm almost done of the shawlette but i'm not going to post pictures till it's finished now. The Scarf is still where it was because of my lack of knitting on my days on shift. But I did make 3 adorable Crochet Hats for a Friend at work Vanessa.
The ends aren't sewn in yet and the little flowers aren't put on but they are still super cute!
I plan on doing more work on Mike's mittens today. We will see how that goes. I have to do some home schooling first on a course i'm working on. So knitting will have to wait till later tonight. Bye for now!

Back to Work

Well I did promise you some updated pics of the shawl and scarf, So here they are:



And:



So there you are folks, I know there isn't a huge difference but on my 7 days off I don't have a whole lot of time to knit. We spent 2 days on the road down to Edmonton and the time of day we were driving meant that the sun was shining right into my eyes which made travel knitting difficult. *Sigh* Oh well I did get done at least a little bit LOL. I'm back to work tomorrow for 7 days so I'll be sure to update you when I'm done.

7 Long Days

Well I made it thought another long Set of 7 days at work. Now to enjoy my 7 days off. I shall start with some relaxation of course. I have a eye exam at 12:30 today which doesn't leave me much time to knit while i get ready to go out. But I think i may make a lovely Lasagna for supper for my hubby tonight. A little prep and it cooks it's self :D I hope to get a huge chunk done on my scarf i'm working on as well as get the next section done on my shawlette. I will post some pictures when i get both of these things done.
As for the rest of the day, a hot bubble bath is high on the list as well as painting my nails with this ultra cool polish called OPI Crackle ( pics to follow ). So that's it for now.

Helix

So here is my first official Blog about something I'm actually making. I've have a Helix scarf of the needles for My Husbands, friends, wife for Christmas. It doesn't look like much yet but it will soon. And of course I'm making it in Crazy Zauberball in the Pink Colorway.


I know the quality isn't that good because the photo is taken with my IPhone but you get the general Idea.
So this along with Michelle Hunter's KAL that's going on right now I have a shawlette on the needles as well
http://knitpurlhunter.com/kal/ . I can't wait to start the second part. But I will tease you with the first part of it.

 

 I think it's looking pretty cool myself!  I'll be sure to post more pictures as I go. For now I leave you with these Pictures and I must leave now and make a cup of tea for my sweet. He'll be home shortly.
