August 2009

This month is flying by and my knitting progress continues to be slow. But - Tonight I finished up a baby sweater from Clara Parkes book called Baby Soft Cardigan and used lime sprout yarn. right now Stinky is plopped on top of it not letting me wash and block it yet. I am not so sure this was the best pattern for this nubby cotton yarn. I would not do this pattern again as it involves way too much sewing for me .
Someone on the facebook ravelry group mentioned mouse hunt - an addictive game about 3 months ago. Well- I am an official mouse hunt addict and it is taking up way too much of my time.I am up to hero level which involves many sounding of horns and buying the correct trap and cheese combination. I have made mouse hunt friends form all over the world. My kids are teasing me because I am always checking my blackberry to sound my mouse hunt horn. Bejeweled Blitz is another game that has me hooked. This is crazy as I am not even a game person!

My new electronic book Kindle from Amazon has taken away from knitting too. I have read 2 books in the last few days. Some knitting books are even on the kindle ....
August 29 there is a Fiber Festival down the stress at Fort Delaware. I am going to sell some of the items I have t hat have not given away as gifts. This is a new event in the area and it should be interesting.


I am going to make a baby hat to go with this sweater and if enough yarn maybe a small easy baby blanket that I can do without thinking while I am reading my Kindle or mouse hunting!
