Good Morning


Well I hope it will be a good morning anyway.
I woke up today thinking of all the monsterous things that need to be done and I really don't want to do any of them. Pay bills, laundry, grocery shopping ect. ect. ect. this is the draw back to being a housewife. I remember thinking "man if I had everyday off work I could get so much done I could knit all day and I could......." there has not been any of that. Oh well maybe someday I will be super organized and get it all done then I will knit all day.
I am currently working on a fair isle bag (pattern is in Interweave Kints Summer 2004) it is great. Think it will be nice to carry my lace and sock knitting in. I'll get pics up when i get a little further along. My dear, sweet and very organized husband can't stand that i want to work on more than one thing at a time. I want to start a pair of socks but have controlled myself so far don't know how long that will last.
Finally I thought I should post a picture of myself to put a face to all the bad grammer. Since first impressions are so important I put up one I like, those are rare.

I did figure out how to add a picture, see I can do this.

1st of many I hope

I have been thinking of doing this for a while and hope it will be a long and fruitful endeavor. I am a 34 yr old mother of one beautiful girl and step-mother to two fantastic and lovely young women. Wife to an incredible man who tolerates my insatiable need for yarn and all things knitting (exactly how many sweaters do you need). I grew up in southeastern Oklahoma with many incredible women who managed to peek my interest in sewing, quilting, and of course knitting. I only began about 3 yrs ago and it has been a wonderful love affair yarn, needles, yarn, yarn, yarn. I have made sweaters, socks, blankets, scarves, and most recently a very pretty lace scarf. It was made for my wonderful sister-in-law Lisa, I made it out of KnitPicks Alpaca Cloud in Midnight. There is a nice story behind this particular scarf I will share when I have more time, but for now I will attempt to download a picture. I would love to hear from other knitters, any feedback is appreciated. Thanks
