Antropologie Capelet

I finished the anthropologie inspired capelet found here: http://peonyknits.blogspot.com/2005/11/anthropologie-inspired-capelet-fo-and.html . I used about a skein and a half of Patons Katrina on size 11 Denise needles. It was a pretty quick and easy knit and I learned how to do raglan shaping. Yippee. Now I just need to learn how to take decent pictures of myself. It's tricky!




My computer is behaving very well now. Fred helped me get it all fixed up. I still have the urge to go out and buy a sweet Apple but I do not have 1700$ laying around so I guess I will have to make do for now.

Next tuesday I leave to go see my sister in Ontario for a week. I can't wait. I will however miss KOL for a couple weeks :( Glad the new digs are working out though!

Green scarf and my computer is possibly recovering from it's flu?

I made a scarf from the leftovers from the Lady of Lake Jacket. There's still more yarn left too, I think I have enought for a hat!

My PC has been acting up lately and I've been formatting and reinstalling windows, etc. Tonight, I was getting so fed up that I went to look at computers. Then I got home and everything seems to be working ok. Maybe my computer just needed to be scared into being replaced to start behaving properly.

I have a few pictures of FO's to post as well, but my computer is being wierd and I haven't brought my camera into work to upload them. I tried reformatting this weekend but that didn't seem to fix it. I'm going to try reinstalling windows one more time and if that doesn't work, I may have to consider acquiring some new hardware, which is so not in the budget right now.
Ah, technology.

Look What I Got!

It finally came! The deleivery guys showed up yesterday afternoon and brought me the new bed. It's very comfy!
And here it is all made up with my new Duvet and duvet cover ensemble. As you can see, some of my pals are testing it out. They approve.





After the busy day I am having at work, I can't wait to go home and nap, but I will try my best to drag myself back from my cloudlike haven to check out the Wired Monk tonight.

I also finished a scarf that I made from the leftover yarn from my Lady of the Lake jacket, but I have not sewn in the ends or taken pictures yet. I think I even have enough yarn left to make a hat as well. Pictures to come shortly.

A little FO

I finished the shrug I have been working away at. The pattern was free on the Interweave Knits website but it originally had little ruffles on the sleeves which I left out. I used just under two balls of Patons Katrina on size 10.5 Denise needles. My flash is kinda bright so you can't actually see that this was all done in ribbing.

I finished this a few days ago but my internet at home has been incredibly flakely lately and would not let me upload pictures.





My new bed should have been here by now, but it's not... Hopefully soon it will arrive and I will have pictures of it and my new Duvet. Or maybe it will be so comfortable that I will stay in bed forever never to be heard of again.

Filing in space

Haven't finished a project in a while. I have been knitting, but as always, I am working on several things at once and have not finished any of them. So here is some mindless meme stuff to fill in space and let you all know that this blog is still alive.

**Go to the google search engine and type in your name and the words "needs" after it, i.e. "Morgan needs". Write down the discription that appears.

"Julie - Needs Early Start"

Hmmm... What do I need an early start on? Maybe I should figure that out so that I can get started.

Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

1892 - St. John's, Newfoundland was devastated in the Great Fire of 1892.
1969 - IBM CICS is made generally available for the 360 mainframe computer.
1997 - Mayo Clinic researchers warn that the dieting-drug "fen-phen" can cause severe heart and lung damage.

1958 - Kevin Bacon, American actor
1970 - Beck, American singer

1999 - Pete Conrad, American astronaut (b. 1930)

Boy was I born on an important day!
