For the Love of Stitches

More Pics and Dreamweaver

I've been working at my company for 4 years and I just found out that Ann of Dreamweaver yarns works in the same place with me! How wonderful is that! She is the coolest and sweetest. She bought in a knitting bag that I fell in love with and in no time it became my very own knitting bag :-). I love the color, and that big is big enough to carry everything that I need to knit or crochet! I love my new bag. (Namaste)

Yes, that picture was taken in the conference room at work. That room is now officially the knitting/crochet room. I know, you would've made it your knitting room too.

My knitting group at work has suffered due to my schooling and work, but one of the members are determined to get us back in the habit again. I'm glad she is determined, and we are scheduled to start knitting again on Fridays during lunch time. I guess that's better then me not knitting at all.

Skyle, who's part of the work knitting group and claims to be a beginner knitter took on a project on her own. She got the pattern for the baby blanket from Lionbrand. I'm very proud of her. She read the pattern on her own and the blanket turned out beauti ful. She even conquered her fear of YOs (yarn overs), which are used to form the border on the blanket.

 

I'm Back!

Hello my fellow bloggers. I thought it would be a long time before I post again, but I didn't have school today. Our final paper is due this week, and we got a day to go home and finish the paper. Of course, it seems like instead of typing my paper, I found some of my old knitting pictures in a camera and decided to take a little break from school work. These pictures were taken earlier this year...I think. I don't really remember for I've been living one long day since I started school. Anyway, before I go on to the pics, I wanted to welcome Saushine to NYC!! I hope you're adjusting well. I want to give a big shout out to Sahara, A.D.D Knitter, Gingersnapswtea, quiltyknitwit, and Anna. You ladies are the best! Thank you for the words of encouragement :-). Del,I've missed so much with you. In one day I read that your knitting blog was going down and the same day the knitting blog came back! lol. It shows how out of touch I've been. I'm glad you're back. I'm peeking through everyone's blog now and going right back to my paper afterward.

Ok, now let's get to the pictures. Sometime this year or last year (I think), don'treally know when, my fellow knitter Irina gave me this really cute cable halter top  pattern that she told me was going to be nice and quick to make. I took on the challenge and took advantage of my boss being out on vacation, and knitted the halter at work. It was very quick to make and I was able to finish it that week. Can you believe I sacrificed lunch for this? This was the first thing I knitted in a while and I think I was just too excited to get it started and actually finish it. Ladies, cables are your friend. lol.

Yarn: Katia Jamaica (100 % cotton)     Size 6 needles     Model: T-Pain (Torie)

I never realized how wonderful the lighting in my office was.

Here's T-Pain modeling the top during a friends birthday shinding. This is after we've had a couple of drinks. lol. Let me out once and I don't know how to act. lol.

This top is like a one size fits all top. I kid you not. It fits everybody! Anyway, I have more things to post, but I'm going to get back to work.
