Well, it has been an eventful night.

I was so excited to have finished 12 rows on the WoW blanket last night and was sitting down to watch the Olympics and continue my awesomeness tonight when I realized that Fudgy Ducks! I had missed a section of gold FOUR ROWS back on the blanket!!! Fiddlesticks and Rumplestiltskins !
Now, I consider myself to be a lady with plenty of gumption, but I must admit that the idea of frogging FOUR ROWS seemed scarey at best and the idea of unknitting four rows (read 816 sts) made me want to throw up a little bit…..so I sat for 5 mins. and then I began to unknit slowly and surely. I got 15 sts in before the little red angel on my shoulder whispered, “it would be SOOO much faster to frog it! just rip it out…it’ll be fine.”…..and the white angel said, “oh no, that’s scarey! what if it ends badly?”…..but the efficient and gutsy side of me won out and so, I laid out the blanket and…
called Lisa. :)

After a pep talk from her, then I began to rip – it was a bit fun (I must confess) and so I picked up 204 sts and lived to tell the tale. :)
and now I go back to knitting on the blanket and watching the Olympics.

Here is a pic of my knitting all footloose and fancy free!

I finished my second attempt at the Hermoine Hat! :) I’m pleased it went so fast! :)
It looks much better than the first one! Imagine all that can be accomplished when you follow a pattern. :)
I cast on before we took off for Washington last Sat. and finished this morning (since I didn’t take double pointed needles with me).
The hat was started in Texas and then traveled to Washington DC, Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania.
TH said, “looks nice.” :)
Here are some pics:

………..now back to the WoW blanket. :)

Well, a new month has begun. Today is Super Bowl Sunday – which I love because I get lots of knitting done during the game. :)
The Wow blanket is moving along. 35% done and the lion has officially been started. So, here goes about 300 rows of yarn twisting. :)
The baseball blanket is finished, washed and steamed and ready to go to a happy home.


The santa and neopolitan baby blanket are still in Q.
I didn’t get a lot of knitting done last week b/c I wasn’t feeling up to par, but I’m back on track now.
I cannot WAIT to finish the wow blanket and post pictures! !
I’ll be SO glad when it is finished…..broke the news to TH last night that I might want to hang it on a wall rather than use it. LOL! I’m only half kidding. :)
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
