Yay!!

Lots of things to be excited about..... I have a new job that I love already, SP10 started, IS4 started and Sockret Pal is winding down.

Ok. Back to the new job. I've wanted to go back to work for a while. Not for just a seasonal job, but a job that i could grow in and want to be at. The opportunity came up and I accepted the offer. How cool is that?!?! So, now, I am officially a working woman!!

I will definitely have to learn to balance work and maintaining a house hold. It is tough, but I know I can handle it!

I did get some dyeing done last week. This is what I came up with. The colors are pink, brown and army green. I sorta reminds me of an "army brat". I have already swatched it and it looks really nice!



The first SP10 contest is up!! Well, for my group anyway!

I am working on the Trellis pattern from Knitty. I t is one of the many projects I'm working on, but is by far my fave! I love this patter soooooooo much because it's a super pattern and the cable pattern is easy to remember and it's a whole sweater, be it a small sweater, and it's finished in no time at all! The sweater will be a gift for my friend. Her baby shower is next weekend but she feels that the baby will come this weekend (uh-oh!!). Her due date isn't until 4-15, so she's a little early.



I snapped a few pics of Tigre sleeping. He can be such a cutie pie!!







Boots was investigating the camera!




Happy Knitting!!

Congratulations on the new job!! Maybe it will give you more money for more yummy yarns?? LOL

The sweater is beautiful. I like cables too. They add such a lovely dramatic effect to everything they are on, and they look far more complicated than they really are.

I hope you post a picture of your home dyed yarn knit up into something. The colors are so bright, it will be interesting to see how they work out.

Have a great day. :)

Nice dyeing! Those are some fun, funky colors. I'm sure you'll settle into work just fine. That trellis sweater is coming along nicely.

Okay, I have to say that kitty tummies are just about the cutest thing ever. Well, maybe not as cute as puppy tummies, but damned close. :)

Beautiful yarn, show us what you end up making out of it please? I'm also impressed with your work in progress, you're pretty fearless, no?

You shall be getting a package in the mail within a week or so, so don't think I've forgotten you!

I found your blog through Adrienne's! I am so glad that turtleneck turned out so well too.

I like the colors of that yarn you dyed and the name "Army Brat" - too funny. I also love your kitty pics and the names of your cats - Tigre is an especially cool name.

Added you to bloglines!
