Good Morning!

What a weekend. I'm feeling alot better. Not here to gripe about it either! Thanks, for the thoughts, and good vibes. I am really ZINGING this morning! And I need to, since I have laundry to do.. *ICK*

I sat round all weekend and did absolutely nothing. That about killed me. I'm such a neat freak, and to have to watch as everything started cluttering up. well you can imagine...

On the lighter side I did get some crochet time in, though. *yays* I started a Trish K. pattern. From "doilies with a twist" #5 Tala. I've made this one before, and thought I'd try it again. Using size 20 Cebelia in ecru. I'm on round32 of 40. So wow, I did get some crochet time in....

Oh yes, who could forget the knitting attempts. Well, I sat with my stitch booklet and some Navy blue red heart yarn and tried my hand at knit and purl stitches. This is what I've come up with. I have to say I really like the look of the stocking net. I think thats what its called LOL. Nonetheless, I've decided if I'm going to make a wearable I'd like the look and feel of knitting. My first project? I have no clue. I've got some yummy yarn that I bought from Elizabeth. But, can't figure out just what I want to use it on... any ideas for a first project? I'd like to try my hand at socks, eventually. I only have a set of size 10 bamboo needles at the moment. Knitting is not as brain-whacking as I thought it would be. Its more repetitive than crochet (at the moment) Of course, with 2 stitches under my belt, I'm the real pro talking huh? I set a DIY program to record called "knitty gritty". Granted I'm not going to try to "cozie" everything in my house, but a few "stitch-therapy" programs shouldn't hurt alot.

Now, to the new project I'm working up in my mind. DD is in the high school band this year. And I was thinking of a lapghan in the school colors would be a nifty little thing for her to take on trips and to games. I'm thinking of one that has a bag attached so she could unfold and use and then refold and carry easily. Haven't looked up any patterns just plundering it over in my mind. Its been quite a while since I used yarn, but I have a TOTC hook just crying for me to use it again....Maybe I could graph the school initials, or band, or even her name in it. Decisions, decisions, decisions..... Happy Monday ya'll!
