The Flue

I've been down with the flue and it was not pretty. I'd hadn't been this sick in a long time. Also I had to miss two days of school, which for a college student isn't always good becasue you're playing catch-up with work.

I'm better now but still have a nasty cough, but I just finished two baby mittens for one of my mother's friends whose expecting a grand daughter soon. I'm also working on the sleeves for the pullover and just finished the fron of the shirt. So here are the pictures that my sister took.

This weekend my college had a Homecoming event and so I went. It was fun saw alot of the houses and groups there supporting the teams. However, I only stayed for two hours, homework was calling, the never ending of homework.

Also I've been working on my socks and I'm doing pretty well with the heel only to find that I need 18 stiches not 22 on the needle so I'm reworking it and seeing what's going on. I also need to take apart my sleeves for the pullover, the sleeves to me look a little funky. The top is almost there so that I can shape the shoulder and neck.

Strands meeting went well yestreday. My sister and I joined Strands which are making hats and finger puppets for kids with cancer. My sister though is going crazy with the finger puppets, she's having a lot of fun putting together these little guys. The group is called Love Knits. Right now I'm making a hat, while doing my other projects. I'll be posting pictures soon of my progress, so look out for those.

Hi everyone, it's been a while I know since last I posted. I'm done with the cable scarf, it turned out well. Now I'm finishing up my pull over and now I'm doing socks!! I found this yarn at Strands a yarn store in Dana Point and couldn't resist buying them.

I'm at school four days a week and so when I have breaks I knit in my car. The socks are coming along, I had to get help from the knitter shop becasue I wasn't casting on correctly. But now it's coming along.

Also Strands the shop I mentioned, is doing projects for kids with cancer, I'll know soon what type of yarn they need so if there's anyone that wants to donate yarn or help I'll let you know what yarn to use and where to submit the projects.

Well here ar the pictures my sister Emily took, I think they turned out well. I'll post again soon.
