Ah Ha!

There is nothing like forgetting your blogger password!! Swearing up and down for days, that they have no idea how to run this site, what a pain in the %^$#E$ etc. Well, yes, it was my fault! Too many passwords and logins to remember, my mind goes numb after a while, and I end up just staring at the screen....!
SOOOO here I am, after trying every combination under the sun...success!
Sorry I have been absent for a while, I too have got deep into this whole Ravely thang, "yes, I will just login for a quick sec...." only to discover that half the day has gone by! Ok, I'm not that bad, but I just cannot stay logged in for only a minute. One link sends you to another, etc. well, you know what I mean I'm sure, and if you are a knitter and not yet a member of Ravelry what are you waiting for? You surely must have heard of it by now!!

Ok, there's the agression and blaming gone!
As for the knitting, so much has been going on. First of all my DH and I were recently in Austin, Texas, and I checked out 2 super knitting stores. One is new The Knitting Nest, and one is a little older, but, I must say, simply amazing! It is called Hill Country Weavers.
I picked up a few "treats" at each store, I was especially excited to find Brittany DPN's!!
I also took advantage of a special on Joann.com, and since they don't ship to Canada, had them ship it to my hotel in Austin! I purchased a chocolate brown Namaste bag, the big one, it is super, although it is soooo big, I will have to start a large sweater to carry around with me, in order to make it worthwhile.
I have also joined in with a bunch of local gals from Ravelry, to a local knitting group. Our city has a population of over 150,000, and this is the only one that we know of!
We meet once a month right now, and have met twice so far, but it is fun to talk about everything knitting, and see what everyone else is working on.
If you are a part of Ravelry and live in Ontario, I created the "Ontario Knitters Unite" group on Ravelry. Please join us!
Projects that I have been working on: mittens, hats for DH and my little guy (one was already lost on the playground...an excuse to make more, not that I need one!), started on 2 pairs of socks, one for me, one for DH, just finishing a scarf our of Alpaca in a camel colour, and as we expecting the temps to dip below zero by the end of the week, it couldn't be better timing!
I started a great cat pattern, only to get confused with the pattern, and also not being able to increase from 3 stitches on 3 small DPN's, although it was attempted MANY times! Baby hat for my now 3.5 month old adorable nephew! ummm....still carrying on with my V-neck vest, and have frogged a blanket I worked on and off on for about a year for my son, as I think my knitting has improved since and I didn't like the way it was turning out.
So yes, knitting is busy, yey!!! But so is the rest of my life -- now I need some Dancing with The Stars therapy, so I will sign off...I think the winner will be Mel B next week, any takers???
