Did not really happen. Olivia and I were the only ones there. Loretta and Jill (I think) are still out of town. Tabitha had open house with Emma at her new school. Emma is starting kindergarten. Stacy is Very pregnant and tired. On top of that her new house is two counties away. Ruth, the other pregnant knitter, is busy getting ready for school to start. And Holly got a better offer, dinner with her mom. Mom was paying. So Livy and I left early. I did get my mocha freeze.
This is me trying to P2tog. The PSSOs were really hard. I think I will get the crochet hook to help me.
It looks like I will be able to finish it by Saturday. Wait, crap, did I say (type) that for all to see?!
This is what I am knitting for my soon to be sis in-law, Becca.
It is an interesting and difficult knit. If you were wondering, it is crepe paper that I am knitting with. 
It is a pattern found in AlterKnits. It has not been without much cursing. Yesterday Eli yelled "I heard that" I thought I had been muttering quietly under my breath.
there is a new blog in town. And she just finished her first pair of socks!
A Girl's Purls, click on over and take a look.
I can not believe what I just saw at Walgreens... It blows my mind. They have Halloween candy on the shelves. Yes, you read that right. School has not even started yet and they are selling Halloween candy. Something is really wrong. Who decides when these things go on the shelf?? And what makes them think it is ok to put the stuff out 10 or 11 weeks before the holiday. What next??? Halloween candy next to the left over 4th of July stuff!!!
Jill, don't look if you have not received the red package yet.
If the knitting content has been lean lately it is because of presents I have been knitting. Blocks for Stacy and the Amanda stole for Lora. The dishcloth above was knitted for my July Color Swap partner Jill. It is a modified version of the Amanda pattern. She should receive it any day this week. The Totem bag probably thinks I have forgotten all about it. No, I have still been thinking about you. But now I have had a birthday present request from my soon to be sister in-law Becca. The deadline for that on is August 11. Gotta get knitting, that will be here before I know it.
I knitted this for my wonderful friend Lora. If you have been reading for long you know all about her. She was here visiting for a month but left before her Aug.3rd birthday. I put this in the mail to her NH friend Gina. Their knitting night is Wednesday and a little b-day party was in the works for tonight. Gina took it with her to give with the other gifts. Lora called just awhile ago and she loves it. Everyone was taking turns wearing it. I told her to not let them look to closely. This was my biggest project to date.
(Please ignore the wrinkled sheet underneath).
If you are loving the pattern as much as I do, go see Ginaand look for the radiance lace headband pattern, Amanda.
I knitted it with di.ve' yarn, a wonderful self striping yarn, size 10 needles.
I sent you a warm hug for those cold NH winters.
Happy Birthday my friend!
