She's Done

I finished her this afternoon complete with buttons sewn on and ends sewn in.

Last night in knitting class we had a party. No, Sarah isn't pregnant!! Janice has three grandsons and has been praying for a granddaughter. We knew a baby was on the way but Janice wouldn't share the gender with us. Well Jayen finally arrived last week so we had a small celebration. Now Janice can finally knit in pink.

Sorry for the short post. Beth and I are running out the door to meet up with friends from grade school.

ETA: Beth made me add this before we can go. She has her own blog now. It will be a very interesting read with guests from around the world contributing. Some of these guests are quite famous in the knitting world. Margery is Margery Winter of Berroco and Vogue Knitting Fame. The Rock Star-the name says it all. Check out The Empire Knits Back.

Is Roko really smart?

The body of my February Lady is done. I am now working on sleeve number one. 

The pattern is easy to follow except for one thing. The buttons on the picture and the buttons in the written instructions are on different sides. When I went to work the first row of the lace pattern it said to start on the right side but then it wouldn't look like the picture. I looked at the picture and re read the instructions for 15 minutes but couldn't make it work. I then logged onto Ravelry and read peoples comments. Yes, the picture and instructions are different. I made mine like the instructions.

This isn't something to get overly excited about especially since the pattern was free. Had I paid for the pattern I might have had more issues with this. A comment would have been nice but such is life.

We are restocked on Buddy Cases except for Hollywood Pink which should be available at the end of the month.  I took this picture to show you that the lid of the cases are magnetic.

When I go to sleep at night I leave more door open just a bit.  In the morning Beth leaves for work before I do.  She feeds the dogs and Roko always finishes long before Melo.  His new trick is to push my door open, jump on my bed and cry.  Melo then comes running and Roko heads to the kitchen to finish Melo's breakfast.  We always thought that Roko was the dumb dog but maybe he really is smart.

Damn Ravelry

I haven't written about any knitting in a couple of days. I have been working on something in private since Sunday and decided to share it with you now that the pattern is showing up. This is the famous February Lady cardigan-over 4500 projects on Ravelry. Knitters come in the store every week looking for yarn to knit this so I decided I had better join the fun. I am using Vienna from Naturally.

Bev just left and Beth is chomping at the bit to watch Survivor. I told her to hang on for one minute because I had to do a post. Just made it in under the wire.
