It's time to finish some projects...

For some reason, I love love love casting on a new project, but, when it's 80% done, I run out of steam. In my head I move on to the next thing, but the UFO is staring me in the face. What's up with that?

This week I'm going to finish the following:

a. Weekend Neck Down Jacket from Knitting Pure and Simple. All that's left is one sleeve, the collar and putting in a zipper.
b. Oooh Baby! Tank from the Yarn Girls Guide to Simple Knits. I need to put on the collar. I've already done that twice and had to rip it out. Third time is the charm. Now that the sweater had been neglected for a year, it should be cooperative.
c. Fabulously Funky Sweater from Yarn Girls Guide to Beyond the Basics. All that's left is one sleeve, the front band and collar.

Next techno-challenge....figure out how in the world to post pictures. Oh dear.

Just Jump Right In...

I've been toying with the idea of starting a blog for months. That would be because when I go online, I can't have a complete online experience with out checking out my favorite knitting blogs. They inspire me, make me laugh, and help me to be a better knitter. So, here we go.

Two years ago I picked up a pair of sticks and a bit of wool. I haven't looked back. Yarn has taken over my world and it's not a bad thing. More of that to follow.

Thing 1 is home sick today and Thing 2 gets off the bus shortly so I must bring this short but sweet entry to a close.
