strawberries and libraries

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted. Life has been crazy! I am an RIT student now, work at RIT now (goodbye wegmans!) and I haven't had too many minutes to myself since November 28.
I am currently working on 3 projects. Working actively, that is. I found the strawberry pie shawl so I started that with some lovely yarn (LionBrand 100% wool) that I dyed with Koolaid.
The picture is of me frogging, but the project is much farther now. If i can dig up my digi cam i will take a few more.
I started a second shawl in lionbrand white wool (the big 8oz one), and I will make my best friend help me dye that after I knit it.
The other project I have been working on is my mom's socks. They are a late Christmas present, she decided she wanted them about a week before Christmas-- so she got yarn in her stocking.
I am using some LionBrand Magic Stripes. The yarn flavor is Denim Stripes. Mom likes the one that is done... the second one is in the works.
In other knitting news, I meet with some ladies in my hometown at the library every other Monday night, and we knit together; recently we decided to meet every Monday night, and I am psyched about it! (if you live in Genesee county in NY and you are interested email me at faeriedreamz AT gmail DOT com, and I will give you some details!)
No new knews on the knitting ministry, but soon I will meet with Kathy and we will discuss the possibilities in earnest. :)

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. (and maybe the upstairs too.) I think I am also going to make some curtains for my room, out of yarn,

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! The button was out of my mom's vintage-ish button collection. I ended up giving this one to my mother in law to be, because she really liked it, AND she got a new older cell phone. She didn't like the size of the phone, but it was digital and h

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
