Long Day

It's been a while since I posted anything. Have been busy with new grandson, who is now 10 months, and his big brother.

I have done quite a bit of knitting over the past few months. I have finished

HMS08

MysticStar.

It's been a busy day. It was my husband's birthday had my daughter and family over for knitting as well as her in-laws. We all had a great time, playing with the boys, catching up on family stuff.

Although with all the visiting and entertaining didn't leave much room for knitting. I did manage to finish clue 3 on mystery shawl 12, but was not able to do any work on mystic roses clue 1. Hopefully tomorrow, I will have more time.

The huricane that is my kitchen is waiting for me to finish cleaning (the down side of entertaining). Well if I want to get any knitting done before bedtime, I should go and clean my kitchen.

Graduation Day Approaches

My daughter's graduation from nursing in on Saturday. I'm so glad for her. She has been waiting for this day for three years. It's been hard on her, with two little boys and all.

Well on another note, I have finished my Branching Rib Pullover from Creative Knitting January 2006 issue. I also finished Mystery Shawl 10.

I am currently working on Mystic Light as Christmas gift which I have to finish by Monday.

Busy Month

It has been a hectic two weeks, my daughter started her final round of clinicals before she graduates from Nursing School. She is doing her clinicals in the OR and has to be there at 5:30 every morning until she full fills 132 hours. I have been watching my two favorite little men while she is at the hospital. It's exhausting, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

I have alos completed Christmas stockings for my daughter and her family, a total of 4.

I have been making progress on my WIPs. I am half way finished with my Branking Rib Pullover from Creative Knitting Magazine January 2006 isse.

I'm still not finished with my mystery shawl 10, the halloween myster shawl and MysticEarth.

But, I have started the the winter mystery stole as wel as the mystic ice.

Today I am dying some yarn to make MysticLight as a Christmas grab bag gift. If I can get started before the end of the weekend I should be able to in a week or two, time permitted.

Sunday Night

Spent most of the day working on mystery 10. I'm on row 133 of clue 4. I guess I didn't finish today like a planned. Since my original plan didn't pan out, I'm going to set my new completion date for Friday, that is if I don't put it down and start working on the Halloween instead. I would really like to finish that one before halloween, but if I don't there's always next year. What to do?????

Tilia Finally Finished

I finally finished the Elsebeth Lavold sweater I started 1 years ago. Blocked it this afternoon.

Picked up MS10, which I had to start over with larger needles as it was coming ouut way tooooooo small. I'm almost finished with clue 2, Chart 3. Then only 3 more clues and I'm finished.

My next project to tackle will be HMS08, which I have finished clues 1 and 2.

Then I have the Mystic Earth stole, which at the moment I only have 3 rows done.

I should finish the sweater I started in January of 2006. I have the back finished and part of the front. I don't know why I keep putting it off.

Another Week Ends

Well I finally finished MS4 or Serendipity Stole. It took a while but I finally finished.

I have decided to give it as a going away gift to the wife of our pastor. I hope she likes it, if not maybe she will find or knows of someone that will.

Another Week Over

Another week is over. My daughter's round of clinical over for the time being. So now we are back to our regular schedule. That would be where I watch the babies 2 days a week rather then 3 to 5. She only has three more weeks of school then she has to do another round of clinical in the OR. There will be no time for knitting for a weeks. Hopefully I will have more knitting time when she graduates in mid December?? I will miss seeing my little men all the time. Still not sure what her schedule will be then but time will tell.

As for my knitting. I have finished clue 2 on my halloween mystery. I am on clue 5 of my MysteryStole4. Hopefully I can finish it before the end of the week. I want to give it as a gift to the wife of the paster at our church as they will be leaving the church.
