here i go

This is my first post in blogger, and actually I already like it better than my LJ account, it is definately prettier to look at :)
I hope that this journal will be a place to post images, talk about my knitting, and to show others my work. I also have a "in progress" website, thanks to my boyfriend, Brian Blankenship. He is on this site too, my love

lights came on fast

So I think I am going to go for the blog titles that have nothing to do with status! I am lacking pictures :( BUt i have finished stuff! - Brian's stripey socks are done! - Baby Gabe's hoodie is in zipper process - Baby Charlie's hoodie is awaiting washing, blocking and zippering I am working on a hand towel for the new apartment. Oh, what I didn't mention it yet? I am moving out soon! I am very excited. My sister, boyroomie, and girlroomie are all moving in together in the complex that my boyfriend living in. Its a super nice townhouse, and the landlords seem like a really good company. I believe they are part of Natapow management. We are going to move in, hopefully, in August. Anyway, given that this will be a shared apartment, and for me, home, I wanted to give the apartment some things that would be for everyone, like hand towels for the downstairs bathroom.

i made this :)

This was my quick and easy project. I made it for my cell phone, because I COULDN'T stand the idea of buying an over priced cellphone holder from Verizon, or a cheap cheezy one from Walmart. I got the bag at the Women of Faith 2006 Conference in Rochester NY. It was very cool, because it is from World Vision, and I was planning on sponsering a child through them anyway. They gave me the free bag for allowing them to take money from my credit card. :) I was delighted with the bag, its huge, and I have a beautiful young lady named Roda from Zimbabwee. I am going to write her a letter very soon. My boyfriend and I picked out the yarn, it was one of the closest color choices in a thin cotton yarn. What can I say? I went to Micheals!

odd yarn = pretty socks

As you can see, my math homework is attempting to compete with my lovely socks. The math homework lost.... I am using some LB Magic Stripes Denim Stripe 310-201: Denim blue, cream, light blue highlighted with red and copper I am very pleased with the striping pattern complementing t he stripes... and I love that the stripes are super random. :) This is part of the Romney I bought at the Fingerlakes Fiber Arts Festival. I was unsure of how much to get, or what kind; it was rather overwhelming. I ended going economical and buying only one kind of roving, a white Romney. I got it home, quite nervous about buying 16 oz, since I didn't know how it would spin up. I started up my wheel and was amazed. Romney was my personal spinning Godsend. I was so happy with the results. I have spun white sam ples, but not too much. I used some of the yarn for my bro...
