One day closer

OK its one day closer to going to Stitch N Pitch at Dodger Stadium. Here is the link http://www.stitchnpitch.com/. That way you can see if there is going to be one near you and when it is going to be. I can't wait last year I had fun at it and can't wait. I wonder what we are going to be getting. Last year we came home with some awesome goodies. One was a knitting bag that said Stitch N Pitch Dodgers and also a Namaste Knitting Tube. That I have to tell you is awesome. It holds a lot of needles and at least one ball of yarn. That way you can keep all of your needles as well as your project all in one easy to carry tube. Here is the Namaste link: http://www.namasteinc.com/products/accessories/accessories.php. It is a great company.

Right now I am working on a nice pattern called the simple Shawlette. The only thing is that I cannot share the pattern with you but I can share my photos with you once I get them taken since the creator put it as no share but purchase only. Which I don't mind at all I am actually happy that she did that way she can make some money off of her creativeness.

Well, all I am going to end here for a bit since I am hungry and also curious if Joe is out of his meeting yet or not.

Wow

Wow everyone it has been so long since I have recently posted anything. I am so sorry about that but I can say that it has gotten better here since I am working on many projects at once. Lets see my baby blanket of love one that I recently finished I was able to complete in 5 days. I was in kinda of a rush because when the baby shower was scheduled or so I thought was a week later. Well, I was wrong so I spent every waking moment when I was not at the new job finishing that blanket. I am glad that I did since the soon to be mommy was very happy to have received it. I Will attach photos below so you can see it. Just know that the photo quality is not that great on my phone.


Now I am also working on 2 baby blankets for two more of the guys that are part of the awesome group 911 Help America Foundation. It is an awesome non-profit organization that takes care of solider that have recently come home and have PTSD and TBI from the Iraq/Afghanistan war. Also know as, OIF/OEF. Both of the men that are getting the blankets for their wonderful babies have been through so much and deserve so much yet ask for little. This is something that I can do since I know what they go through since I have my husband and we are part of this organization.
And to boot I am also working on another shawlette for myself since I loved the pattern that I was given and even though my first one has a little bit of a special mess up in it I really do love it. As soon as I can I will post pics of progress as well as pics of the finished original blanket as well as pics from Stitch 'N' Pitch which is this Friday. I can't wait last years was awesome this year I now will be just as good if not more than awesomer ( I know not a real word but still) than last year. More later. I just can't focus right now since I have not eaten and I am waiting for the hubby to arrive with my lunch whenever that will be.
