Still Working :)

I am almost finished with my first leg warmer of 2.  I am a little bit distracted lately, my sister gave me some Jewelry making tools and I have been making stuff with them.  I have also been online trying to educate myself about the world of Jewelry making.  So we will see how it goes.  Maybe I will go to the thrift store and see what they have.  Sometimes they sell things in bulk, the left over Jewelry so i can do something like that.  I am not sure but it would be good to have stuff to practice on.

Gettin it Done

I have been working on my leg warmers for oh, about a week or so and I had a set back.  I dropped some stitches and couldn't figure out how to pick them back up.  So I restarted and I am glad I did.  I think my tension is better and I am moving along much fast as to make up for lost time.

I Found my project!

I have finally found the "perfect" Leg warmer pattern for me.  I am so excited I found it at Lion Brand's website
Leg warmer Pattern  

I have modified the pattern, I am doing one solid color and I cast on 64 stitches.  I have only done about 1" so far, but I will keep at it .  I like doing more than one project at a time, keeps my mind stimulated.

Trying something new is hard when you don't ever go anywhere.

Today I did something new, I have been wanting to check out a yarn shop in Port Orchard WA.   I stopped by today, the staff was great, I am new to knitting and crochet and she explained how important it is to know how much yarn is in a skein for your project.  I have been winging it up till now. She also made me feel more confident by letting me know that if I get stuck they have a walk in clinic for knitting/crochet  impaired.  I may have my next knitting project LEG WARMERS my mom made some crochet ones for me when I was 15, long time ago.  Now I can try and make some for myself, so excited.

State of my unfinished Afghan

Today I bought hopefully enough yarn to finish the Afghan for my nephew Tyler's new baby this week.  I bought 6 more scanes of  Lily Sugar n Cream yarn today, it was finally on sale @ Micheals craft store.  I also went to Tuesday Morning and picked up some scrapbooking stuff, Valentines day always makes me want to make cards.



As a side note: I am excited that yesterday Egypts protest was peaceful, but dissapointed that it turned bloody.  Why is it that in this enlightened age their are always those who result to violence and it is always the most vulnerable that are hurt and pay the price.  For how many years have poor and middle class Egyptians suffered and got buy on so little.  How will ever become a one world society with peace and prosperity for all.  And no I am not a socialist,  I was raised to be a free thinker and I do know that to have equality for all sacrifices must be made.  I would just like to see those who have the most sacrifice more than those who have the least for a change.
