A Few Projects Down

I have gotten a few of my projects done, but not as many as I would like. I finished my Twilight Monkey Socks, Pro Bono Hat, Orange Llama hat, and my Ravenclaw scarf from my list as well as a few projects that I started and finished since I made my list. I made a tube scarf for my dad for Christmas, a short scarf for my Grandpa and a hat for the Bridges Project. Idon't have pictures but hopefully I will get some up in the next few days, now that I have finished my finals I have more time to get some more projects done.

Too Many Projects

I have been going through my projects that I have going and I have realized that I have too many things going at once. There is a list of the projects that I can think of:
-Nick's socks
-Black Spring Forward Socks
-Twilight Monkey Socks
-Mom's Blue Monkey Socks
-Embossed Leaves Socks
-Waves and Piers Socks
-Don't Panic Towel
-Left-over sock yarn blanket
-Pro Bono Hat
-Orange Llama Hat
-Lexie's Mittens
-Fall Wrap
-Nick's Cobblestone Sweater
-Ravenclaw Scarf
-Mardi Gras Socks
-Bite Me Scarf
-Two-Tone Shurg
-Carnival Baby Blanket
-My Green Mittens

I know that there are more but I can't think of them right now. I really need to finish some of my projects so that I don't feel so overwhelmed with too many things going on at once.

A Long Time

It has been a long time since I have written. Not much has changed since June but school has started up again and I am pretty busy with it, which means that I don't have much time to knit or read or anything much more than do things for school and work. I have been good about not buying yarn since I haven't had time to use any that I already have but that still means that I have a huge stash consisting of 5 large Rubbermaid tubs and numerous bags of yarn all over the place. Hopefully soon I will be able to finish some things and make a dent in my stash so that I won't feel bad about adding to it.

A Little More Freedom

Well I now have two more days off a week because I quit one of my jobs today. It was really a relief to quit because lately it has gotten so unpleasant to work there and there is just too much tension that is not being addressed that could easily be fixed. So now I am down to working three days a week in a job that I really like going to.

Spencer's Socks

These are socks that I made for my boss' baby who is a preemie and just came home yesterday for the first time and he was born 6 months ago. He has finally reached the size of a newborn. These socks actually go up to his knees since he is so small still.

Black Yarn Swap Package Arrived

I actually got my package from Erin last Wednesday but I have not been able to post my pictures until now.
Erin also made me some wonderful stitch markers with a Harry Potter theme to them as well as a tote bag with a Buffy quote that actually happens to be one of my favorites and she didn't know that when she made it. The yarn is Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock in the colorway Ravenscroft. I absolutely love the yarn and I was able to get my first Monkey sock done this past weekend.

I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted. Things have been insanely busy for me lately. I have to make 100 of my small drawstring bags by July 9 for a store grand opening, so that the first 100 people get a free bag which will be filled with other goodies. These sure are going to be expensive gifts for a store grand opening. I have less than three weeks to get all of these bags done and I only have 40 done so far. I know that I will get them done, but now I am getting tired of making those bags. I am going to have to come up with a new design to focus on for my Etsy page. I really hope that I will be able to come up with something that will be a good substitute.
