Cold Cold Day in Chicago

It is sooo very cold here in Chicago.....I don't care for the cold weather. Makes me feel like I can't get anything done....Today I guess I'm feeling sort of melancholy....just blah. I get this way when the weather starts really freezing. and today it's a low of 7 and a high of 16 degrees. ugh!!!

I will be soo glad when winter is over. But I did promise a pic of the baby shower I attended.


I forgot about the games that are played at showers.

It was a lot of fun.

Baby Kingston Due to Arrive Feb 12, 2013

Today, I am trying to finish a baby blanket. The baby is a boy and his name is going to be Kingston. Now I started this blanket 2 days before the baby shower on Friday, January 18th, thinking OK I can finish this by Sunday Jan 20th.

What in the world is wrong with me. I had only completed the border by the time Sunday came I had only finished a border. But I did not give up....I promised the mom Shaun a blanket, thought I could finish by Tuesday Jan 21st. I only needed another 2 days right. LOL!!




Well here is the project as of Jan 23









Here it is today



And here it is today....stil on the needles.. 60% complete tho..

I will post pics from the Baby Shower Tomorrow....well that enuf for now



1St Blog Ever!!!

Ok, this is my very first blog ever. A little bit about me....I have 3 children ages 25, 18, 17.  I discovered knitting the very last week in February of 2011 and have been absolutely hooked ever since. My very 1st project was a baby hat knitted flat with ribbing....Then I went for the gust and knitted pair of socks.

My 2nd knitting project

These socks took me 5 months to finish. LOL
