Well....I know it's been awhile, but after I got done with the Shadow shawl, I decided to take it easy in the knitting department. Mind you.....I'm still buying yarn and I'm still knitting....but I've downscaled it a bit. Currently, I'm knitting some bibs and dishcloths from Mason Dixon Knitting. I love their website and their book! The book was a little pricey at $30, but I tell myself that if I make 3 things from it, then it's worth the price. The best part of the book are the stories they have concerning knitting. I loved the bibs so much that I designed a shadow knit one! I'm still knitting and working out the kinks, but should have it done by this weekend.
My birthday is on Friday and I'll be 43 years old. I certainly don't feel like I'm 43, and some out there would say I don't necesarily don't act 43, either. Having a summer birthday kind of sucks.......People always have stuff going on over the weekends and such. That's why I always make sure my youngest (who's bday is in August) has an extra special day. Me? I'm thinking that I might take my boys to see Superman and then in the evening I would have dinner with MY Superman...aka the hubby. I could go to Summerfest, the nations best music festival, but on Friday nights it can get a bit crowded and my hubby doesn't like crowds.
I'm also getting ready for a cruise! Whee! I've never been on one and am looking forward to relaxing. I should get some knitting done, since we are driving down to Florida to the port. I'd like to finish a few more bibs and a couple of burp cloths too. Then......I need to begin my Christmas knitting! Argh!
But before the Christmas knitting I get to attend Stitches! I going with a group of fun women who love to knit and have a few cocktails in between! A good friend said to leave my credit card at home, because I'll end up spending way too much! I'll just have to control myself and bite the bullet as they say! Next year I'm bringing my knitting buddy Kris, she's got a cute blog and is so much fun to hang and knit with! We laugh everytime we are together knitting!
But we all know how our schedules are and this year it didn't work out, but wait until next year!

I have been doing the warshrags and bibs from MDK too. I checked it out from the library to save $ though. : )
Hey Girly Girl - I've missed you too! I am so jealous that You are going to Stitches. Can't believe the MIL scheduled the family reunion for the same weekend without asking.
Have fun on the cruise
