Jo Knits!

sorry

Uh oh! I haven't been a good blogger these past few days.

Frankly, I haven't been knitting much and that's my excuse for not updating! ;) I did do my rounds and read my usual blogs daily though. Been so bus these past days, didn't even have time to knit in two days. That's the hard part.

Like my lil'doll? I made it some time ago just playing around on one of those dollz making sites. I use it in my sig. line on boards I go too. It's just like a little me! LOL! I guess I should make a few others that knit. I really think there aren't enough knitting oriented graphics out there. God knows I've looked for some many times! ;)

Last night I went to a craft store I go once a month or so. Well...... I did it! I finally bought a boat load of needles and I'm set to knit in every size until I die! LOL! They have AERO circular needles at 50% off. As soon as I'd finish a knitting project and start another one, I'd hope back on the public bus and go buy new circ's for my present project. Now guess what happens when I don't meet gauge and need yet another pair of needle? Hope back on the bus and hope this time I'll hit gauge with the new needles. The crafting store isn't even that exciting either! LOL!

Anyway last night I went with dh and he had the patience to help me sort out all the sizes they had left (the circ's on sale are all mixed up in a bin on the floor). I got out of the store with TWENTY new pairs of circular needles!!! I sure busted my weekly budget! LOL! ;) Well dh did just treat himself to a bench saw after all... I converted the price I paid and it averages out to 1,60$US per circ. it's not THAT bad! ;)

Then we went to my favorite chain of thrift stores! I found a Leap Frog musical toy for Lucas's birthday. He will be turning two in just little over a week! ACK! I am NOT ready to have my baby become a 2 year old. ;(

On the knitting front, still the same old stuff. Need to finish the felted slippers, still got to attach the bottom to my bag, gotta finish Zoe's sweater and then I want to make knit doll clothes for Zoe's doll and I need to make Lucas a soaker. :)

This week at the kids daycare, one of Zoe's friend gave her a little red envelope with a chocolate "coin" inside and wished her a chinese Happy New Year. When she had me try to guess what animal year we were and I answered the year of the sheep, the little girl looked at me with astonishment! LOL! What good knitter doesn't know this year is the year to knit! LOL! ;) It thought it was so cute that she had a special token for Zoe, I also received one for Lucas. She looked like she thought I was a genius to have known what year we were too! LOL! Ok so me being a genius to a four year old does amuse me! ;)

hugs,
