progress!

Sorry I haven't updated in so long, I was hoping for a camera, and waiting to take pictures until i got one. Unfortunately neither has happened. I will just have to post pictures from the camera I have, and hope its enough!
I just finished a baby sweater last night as I watched the Superbowl at church. It is pretty awesome, my church- we used the projector last night as a BIG screen and watched the game. For me it was really more of a social event, but I was rooting for the Steelers- and they won :)
I have to get a zipper tonight, if I remember. Hopefully I will have the baby sweater finished and in the mail tomorrow. I have to send the stripey socks to tony too... They are done and have been done for over a month now... And the presents for my bf family from christmas. I didn't buy them till i had money, but they haven't gotten sent yet either. :(
I will get to it soon!
The baby sweater is soo cute, everyone that has watched me knit it is so proud of my progress!
Now off to class... maybe i will knit just to annoy John!
Oh I got a little bible for my purse, and I am going to knit and felt a cover for it!
:)

Day 2

Weighed in at 255.6 this morning. Did 30 minutes of cardio last night. I probably will need to do yoga for a few weeks before starting cardio again. I hurt a bit today. But it's a good start :)

Bead crochet is all the rage in my head. It's been a couple of months, actually. During the Christmas break from work, I had a dear friend over to play with beads - she has a small stash, and felt like she wasn't getting enough out of them.  I was thrilled to have a reason to pull mine out.  She wanted to learn bead crochet, but i started her on the peyote stitch, because my bead collection had been spread out, and it took me a bit of time to find all the bead crochet stuff. We never got that far, she fell in love with peyote; but I remembered how i like to bead crochet, and off i went. I'll share pictures of those bracelets, and my process and materials as I have time. In the mean time, I want to share something else... beading of course. Over the course of years beading, I have come to rely on the bead mats that are commercially available. The first time I found them, I was at my local bead shop - I have several available, but one favorite stands head and shoulders...

Mother's Day 2010

This year for Mother's Day, I found the perfect pattern about 6 weeks ago.  Now, understand that my mom has lost an incredible amount of weight! This makes sweater building in short time much more doable. This is Nicole.  Her chest is clearly larger than the intended size, but she was checking fit for me while we were out to lunch one day! This sweater is Tappan Zee from knitty.com. I modified it just a hair, and used commerical yarn I picked up at Webs several years ago. (I bought it site unseen, and the color was "scarlet". It's not any scarlet I've ever seen before!) My mods are slightly longer sleeves, so mom can lift her arms without exposing her arm pits - just a comfort thing, and extending the buttons down the front. Mom would have very little use for a cardigan that didn't have buttons all the way down.  She seems pretty happy with it - if the pictures can be trusted :) I have a limited amount of time, and unless I plan something super far in ...
