A Knitting Affair

a BIG update

May 29th, 2007 | Category: 2007

Okay, so yes. I have been a shitty blogger. But now, I hope to make up for it at least slightly with this blog post.

As I had stated in my previous post, I had quit my job. My last day is on Thursday. I am both happy and sad about it. I will miss the people that I work with, though, those who are “true” friends will keep in touch. Always important. Then again, we all know how bad I am at keeping up friendships!!

OH. Big news. My friend Stephanie Dosen has her new albumn almost out. GO and pre-order. You can hear snippets of her songs on her website. Please please please support her. I promise you will NOT regret it!! She is a knitter too who does phenomenal work, but had to leave her stash in Nashville so I am going to be sending her some knitterly lovin … (can we say koigu … maybe some home spun … etc!!).

Ok. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Remember when I had talked about painting my oldbedroomnowanoffice?

Before the Paint

After the Paint

I love the way the paint turned out. Of course the name of paint is anything but beautiful “pickled onion” … I think it should be something like “morning glory’s daybreak”. Then again, I am not a poet!

In other news. I have been knitting. I even have proof.

This is my own top down design using Lorna’s Laces, Shepard’s Worsted with Louet Gems as an accent (the one on the ball winder). Once completed I’ll of course show you all! Until then, you will just have to wait it out. But be happy, at least I posted a picture.

Also, I now have Angel back at my house. For those of you who have known me forever, Angel is a familiar presence. For those of you who are new … she is a deaf great dane that is 6.5 years old that Ralph and I got as a puppy. Her and whitley are getting along like a dream!!
