quick entry

The USB port is all ok and I can now get my beloved digicam to show off the many pic a day I take! ;) I just LOVE taking pictures and having a digital camera sure is fun. I like instant gratification, no waiting to get film processed, getting to delete awful pics right away.

So I knitted on my bag again today, actuall I just finished the 1st ball of yarn that I'm using for make it. The pic is from last night, it was 4" long and now it's 8 inches long.
I will be knitting the bottom of the bag before going on with the body. Wouldn't it be just my luck that I'd finish the body of the bag andthen no yarn for the bottom? LOL! That is just SO "me", my kind of "luck".

Today I entered Wendy's contest, unfortunatly my guess was wrong, oh well. I really wanted the book and at least I tried! :)

Here's a real picture of the Lopi I bought this weekend.

I really like it's color and can't wait to knit it up. It sure is a treat to knit with wool instead of acrylics for once. I have a ball of Confetti that I promised Zoe socks out of. So I won't be needing to touch acrylic for a while! ;) hope I won't become a yarn snob though! I can't afford too! LOL! I learned that I can finish off my socks with a 3-needle bind off instead of the kitchener stitch. YAY!!!! Now I just need to do that. I'm really eager to get to wear my 1st pair of handknitted socks. Ok, I should start by casting on the 2nd sock! LOL! ;)

While watching Caillou, Zoe asked that I come knit besides her. Bless her heart, she knows knitting is now a part of our lives. ;) She did see a few patterns online over at the patons site. I could see her eyes beaming over a certain one too! here's the direct link incase the pic doesn't show: Patons baby wee gals I think it's still out of my league though. Maybe in the spring I'll be up to it. I think it is really a very cute set though! :)

I finally somewhat resolved the Moveable Type matter, I won't be installing it for my new website after all. For one I'd have to find a host and well for now it's not in the budget. Friday the kids are spending the afternoon at daycare so maybe this time I can work on my website? lol!

Lucas has become obsessed with nursing this past week. Enough to start thinking about weaning. Zoe weaned at 30 months so I'm not sure I'm ready yet with Lucas. Well see maybe it's just a "phase" again! LOL! Today Lucas wanted to try the potty but then decided that peeing in the tub was way more fun! LOL! My baby sure is growing up...

Theresa and Ethan are still in the hospital. Please send good vibes to them.

hugs and enjoy your knitting! LOL!
