Uhm, anyone there?

Don’t blame you if you aren’t. I’m not sure I would have kept coming back.

Where have I been? Nowhere and everywhere. Christmas and a few events after just took it all out of me. Plus, you really just get to the point where…oh, nevermind. Hopefully, I’m back. I know I certainly have a lot to talk about…both knitting and sailing related.

I’ve started a new page (see the tabs at the top) for items I have finished in 09. I would like to go back and catch up on all of that BUT let’s start small.

In the world of sailing, INDIGO sold! Yep, you heard that right! We’ve have already headed down to TX to pick out our new baby, a Valiant 42. We are told that it will take approximately 7 months. Its kind of a short gestation but I might get a few things knitted in there. I’d like to do an afghan and maybe a pillow or something.

I’ll share this with you…I finished it last night. Hopefully I will have some better pictures of it soon.

Tang by Wendy Bernard (from Custom Knits)
Twist by Laines du Nord #666

Wonderful book and wonderful pattern. All the patterns are top-down and seamless. It really spoils you cause when you are done, you are done! I’ve started a Crochet sweater (more about that later) and, while it is going quickly, I have to keep reminding myself that I am only working on the back right now. Bummer.

Other things I am working on…

Opart Blanket (from Knitty.com)
for SDC (Jennifer’s new baby)

I am much further along now…only 4 (?) more stripes to go. Of course the stripes get wider and you add 4 more stitches with every row, so it can be slow going right now.

I am also working on a scarf for my mom and a poncho for my niece. I can’t remember when I started them…oops.

Oh, and I have cat news. Remind me to tell you. But right now I have to run. Thanks for stopping by again!
