New Hat..

Well DS1 out grew his first hat I knitted him a couple years ago so this year I finally casted on & got him a new hat done. Only took me about 4 hours I think total.  Now I still owe DS2 his first knitted hat too.

And I swore I would never do it again but I did. I got some sock yarn on size 2's to make my self some fingerless mitts.  I hate how long working w/ size 2's & sock yarn takes but I LOVE the results I get from them.   Tomorrow is Thanksgiving & I am having a hard time resisting to buy yarn on Black Friday.  I have SO much yarn I really don't need anymore.  LOL!! I do have some special projects I want to accomplish for Christmas & they are not even started yet.  O_O   Running WAY behind this year. Very busy not much down time.  But I am always amazed at how fast I will start relaxing when I pick up my needles & start the repetitive motion.

I miss knitting

I have hardly knitted this year.  Compared to the year before where I was a knitting fool!  I miss my yarn, my needles, my down time.  Life has been crazy.  I started a Mary Kay Business, DH is training for the STP (Seattle to Portland) bike ride, plus DH & I regular jobs, DS1 in school, DS2 starting his terrible twos. I am trying to find time to lose weight in the mist of all of this so knitting has taken a back burner.  I feel like I should start caring a small project around w/ me at all times so when the opportunity presents it's self I can knit but right now every spare moment I have is going toward my new business or taking care of the boys while DH trains.  DS2 still want to tear my yarn apart so I can't knit w/ him around making it a little harder.  I just wanted to stop in & say I miss knitting.
