Lazy Saturday

Well I had grand plans today. I was going to go to church this morning during band practice to catch up on burning sermons cds then I was going to go to the library followed by a trip to my LYS. Instead I have stayed in bed snuggling in the covers reading a book. I think is will be a pajama day.

Friday Updates

I finished the fingerless mitts from last year and they are ready to be given as a belated birthday/christmas gift.

I have made headway on the socks and should finish the first sock this weekend. The shawl is slow going but trying to get some done when I can. I have been fighting a bug since last Thursday, nothing to bad but it has taken my energy so knitting is slow and unfocused. I have a three day weekend and plan to sleep more and knit more. My LYS did some updating over the New Year and I need to go see it. Have a great friday!

Secret Project at the Office

During the winter break at work, we did a remodel of the studio.  The first picture is the view from my old desk placement which was out in the reception area for the studio.  I was right by the front door and big glass window. Most all the walls were white with one or two bluish accent walls.

Now wow what a difference. I have my own office with a door that closes and a window to the reception area so that I can reduce the sound to make calls etc. The color scheme is great neutral brown palate.  I will do more picture later but this is the secret project that I was working on as I had to get a new desk over break and then help with the set up the weekend after the New Year so that we were good to go on January 4th.

Better Pictures to follow later. But I really enjoy the new set up!

UFO from 2009

I have 3 projects leftover from last year that I want to finish before casting on new ones. The first is the shawl in the picture. I have tried about ten different patterns for it before settling on Forest Canopy Shawl. I am less than half way on it.

I have a pair of socks for Mr80grit to finish and a pair of wristwarmers for my friend. So at least the other two projects are small and can be worked on anywhere.

Today is another cold day with bad air qaulity so I will probably stay home and knit. Sounds like a good Saturday to me!

It is cold

Isabelle wasn't moving from her warm spot on the couch this morning. I don't blame her one bit.

Knitting Recap for 2009

Well I finally got time to look it what I knitted in 2009.  I really didn't know I knit that many socks this year. Wow!

Mini Socks - 10
Fingerless Mitts - 4
Scarf - 1
Shawl -2
baby project - 1
Sweater - 1
Headband 1

Also I really thought I knitted more other things but I guess not. I guess that is the goal for 2010.

Relaxing Holidays

While most of the holiday I have fought a cold, I have to say this is one of the most relaxing times that I have had in quite a while. To have time off from work and not have to worry about things going undone has been sweet. This winter break after the first 3 days, no one was working (other than the boss).  I have spent a lot of time reading, sleeping, watching DVD's and spending time with Mr80grit. With the end of the holidays approaching it is now time to switch gears and think about work. During break there were some secret projects going on (not knitting) which I will share with you all next week.
