Tuesday Afternoon

Hello all,
just wanted to let you know that the log cabin afghan is coming along. My batteries in my camera are being charged. So I can't take a picture of the afghan.
I am on the 5th stripe.
My son's afghan is coming along too. I am not doing what I said in my other post on May 18th, I am just knitting and when I feel like a change, then I purl some rows.
We are going out of town for the week of the 4th of July. Just up north by our summer home.
The weather that I say was for rain, rain, rain, that sucks because then we can't get out and fish. I don't know if my in laws are coming or not.
I am going to be taking my girlfriend's scarf, my son's afghan, and my log cabin afghan up with us so that I can get some done.
By the way, the dog Bud, is doing great. His ear infection is gone.
I have a job interview this Thursday morning. I also have a job starting on July 9th. If I get the job from Thursday's interview, then I will cancel the other job that starts on July 9th.
well, time to get knitting here.
Trying to figure out what color I want next on my son's afghan.
take care and hope all have a happy 4th of July.

Thursday morning

Hello there, just wanted to let you know that I have attempted to do the Log Cabin Afghan. I love it. I have met someone online which is in a town near my house. She teaches at a LYS. I went into this shop and just fell in love with it. I met some very nice ladies. I am still working on my girlfriend's scarf and my son's afghan. I am really enjoying doing this Log Cabin Afghan. I am going to take allllll of my yarn and put it in color piles. I am going to have my son help me out. Since I have to take it from the basement to the 2nd floor bedroom.
When I get it all done, then I can see what colors I have.
Well, time to get off the computer and get knitting.

thursday morning

Went to the vet's yesterday and Bud, the dog has a yeast infection in his ear.
Got the meds and started to give them to him. He is just laying around now.
Went to Kro-Sha's last night and Beth showed me how to pick up stitches on a bind-off row. tricky
I need to know how to do this on the log cabin afghan that I am doing. I am on the second ball of yarn for my girlfriend's scarf. I think I will need another 2 balls. I got the yarn from Kro-sha's but she don't have anymore. I found the exact yarn at Herrschners for $2.97 a ball. I am going to get them. I might just drive up there and get it. I don't know.
I worked alittle on my son's afghan.
I am looking through all of my yarn and start thinking about the colors for the log cabin afghan.
I saw a feather and fan afghan in a book that I have. I want to do everything but don't have the time.
oh well, time to get to the laundry.

Tuesday Morning

Ok, I have not posted anything lately because I have been busy. Last weekend well, really Wednesday night we went up north to our cabin. We stayed until Sunday. Lovely 4 days. Well, I took my knitting alone, and my girlfriend's scarf. Well I only did 4 rows on my son's afghan and 1 row on my girlfriend's scarf.
I just went downstairs in the basement and looked at allllll of my yarn, this stuff is not moving anywhere. So, as of now, I am going to start making granny squares with size h hook. I don't know what size of the square right now but hey, I just make them.
I have to take our dog Bud in to the vet this morning. I don't want to but my hubby tried to clean his one ear and didn't get much out. My hubby says that bud's ear is really red. We have a yellow Lab male. Lately he has become somewhat aggressive toward other dogs and people. My hubby wants me to put bud in the human society place for animals. I told him if we do this WE WILL NOT GET ANOTHER DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We put down his other dog and that was soooo said. I have buried my mother and father and a dog and I just can't do it again.
I called the trainer whom we had for when bud was a puppy and she kind of told me that we just need to work with the dog.
I told my hubby and he just looked at me.
oh well, time to get going here.

Tuesday night

Hello all,
just wanted to let you know that I am getting bored with my son's afghan. I have decided to take on another UFO project. Well, I just started it. I bought the book "Mason-Dixon Knitting" book. I love the book. It has the pattern Log Cabin Afghan. I highly recommended this book to any knitter.
As you look at my blog, you will see the first attempt to knitting this afghan. I will take pictures every 20 stripes or so. Please let me know what you think.
We will be on our way upnorth tomorrow night, again, driving at night time. Up for 24 hours or so. I hate it some times but hey, we have a place on the lake and I love it. I just hope that we can keep it.
I am looking for a job right now, and it is so darn hard because there just aren't any jobs for a stay at home mom.
oh well, until next time.

Friday night

Hello all, just wanted to say hi and I hope all are having fun crafting.
Just wanted to let you know that this past weekend, I bought a fishing boat for my hubby. Well, I was saving up for my new kitchen but the $ was right for this boat. Now, I can get what ever I want. Because I made him happy. As well as our son and the dog. Got to love them all. I sure do.
I have been working on my friend's scarf and she keeps asking me about it, she also reminds me that her birthday is coming up here, like in January. But don't worry, I will have 2 scarves for her. Then I would like to make her a afghan of her colors.
Since the lady whom I go to on Wed nights is closing her yarn shop, I am in need of finding a another place to hang out at and with other knitters/crocheters/crafters.
Oh well, time to get off the computer because it is like raining really hard here and lighting. I don't like lighting.
until next time.
