I know it's been a LONG TIME!!

OK...so I haven't had the chance to post anything recently because I've been SO BUSY!!

Knitting went on the back burner for a while...more on that later. I finished a hat for Jon so he can be warm when he is working as a valet at the hospital. Here is a link to my ravelry page with that project: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/liaknits79/ely-stocking-cap-76

I'm still working on that cardigan for Harrison which I started in October. I hibernated it to finish Jon's hat. All I have to do is graft the sleeves, sew a couple of seams and sew the buttons...pretty simple, huh? Well, not exactly. I have to learn the kitchener stitch to graft the sleeves, and the mattress stitch to sew the seams. I'm making swatches to practice the techniques.

On my queue for my next project? I bought yarn almost 2 months ago to make my first pair of socks. I'll be using a basic sock pattern I picked up from my local yarn store...but I promised myself I won't start that project until I'm finished with the cardigan.

So the reason I haven't been knitting in a while:
I started reading the Twilight series and now I'm an addict. Edward Cullen is my drug of choice :) I was listening to the other teachers at lunch talk about the series and how awesome it is...they all heard about it through their students. So because of my curiosity, I asked to borrow the books. I immediately fell in love with Edward and Bella's story. I finished the first 3 books (Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse) and I'm waiting to get back to work after Christmas break to borrow the 4th book (Breaking Dawn). I keep wanting to cheat and buy the book myself, but of course, they are nowhere to be found unless I go online...but I'm too impatient and cheap to buy it online. On top of that, I promised my husband that I wouldn't buy anymore books since there is no room on our shelves.

Anyway, enough for now...Happy Knitting and Happy Twilight!!!!!
