I finally have some photos to share!!

My poor husband, G, had to pull night shift (7pm-7am) last night and he is currently sleeping as I type this post. I have been trying to find things to do that are quiet so that he can get some rest and go in again tonight at 7pm. I rounded up things that I have been working on that I have yet to post pictures about and took them outside to photograph them. Well so much for that being quiet look how started pitching a fit when I didn't allow him to participate in the photo shoot. He is such a diva. (Look toward the bottom of the window just above the date.)

It looks like I had another forehead-palm moment. I was a day ahead setting the date on the camera.
I know I have posted several times on that Mitered Blanket pattern that I have been working from to create G's throw for the living room. Here are some pictures of the progress so far.

I also started on a KnitFit Bag at the last Purlin' Peaches meeting. The stats are:
US 5 needles
1 Ball of Wick + just enough of a second ball to make the I-cord tie and handle
1 old CD --- I added the CD for personal preferences. I wanted the bag to stand up and have a sturdy bottom so I took one of those AOL CD's you get in the mail once in awhile and sewed it to the bottom of the bag.

Here is a second one that is being made from Caron Simply Soft Seasons
Color is Balsam 2906 also on US 5 needles

I really didn't know what to do with the left over Wick so I decided to start a Dream Swatch Head Wrap. I should have more than enough to complete it.

Last but not least -- here is an updated photo of my Embossed Leaves socks that I started with the Tofutsies.

I can't wait to see these finished. As far as my Kaylee's go well I am still trucking away on them. I am working on the heel and I intend to finish them as soon as I get my green KnitFit Bag completed. I recommend to all my sock knitting friends to knit a couple of those bags. They are so handy and after all the designer made them for knitting on the go!

Thankfuls:
1. I am thankful for getting some of my Knitting Mojo back.
2. I am thankful for my dad who will be celebrating his 52nd birthday on Monday, July 28, 2008.
3. I am thankful for being able to sleep in on the weekend.

Knit and fall back in it said...

Great projects. I love the mitred square blanket. I am planning one of my own this fall.
