Ready to Rock

I know it has been FOREVER since I have blogged and I'm sorry. My move turned into a three-month odyssey that separated me from my yarn and sucked up all my knitting time.

We've been a bit buried over here...
It is finally over and I am back!

Here's a quick update:

Projects I have completed:
New Ancestral Christmas Stocking from Mason-Dixon Knitting Outside the Lines (1 of 6)

Toto the Extremely Useful and Cute Potholder from Mason Dixon Knitting Outside the Lines

Projects I am working on:
Socks for Richard
Diamond Scarf for Dad


Projects I am planning on Casting On soon:
Ombre Alpaca Blanket from Last Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson
Floor Cushions from Last Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson

Market Tote Bag from KnitPicks
More Christmas Stockings

Have you seen this yet?
It's a Crochet Hook Keychain from ScoutsSwag.com. As a knitter who loses at least one crochet hook a week and otherwise can never find them anyway; this is an essential tool. I can't even imagine how much time and energy will be saved by having this on my keys! Maybe I'll attach a second one to my knitting bag...

In other news...

Nina: A Well Knit Shop is now carrying the magnetic Namaste Buddy Cases that I have been waiting for. Only $15 and they match my knitting bag!

Speaking of Nina:
Louisa Harding will be gracing Nina with her presence on Wednesday June 17th from 11am to 2pm. Come by for an informal discussion, book signing, trunk show, and light refreshments.
I can't wait to see the samples from her book:I also heard rumors on Ysolda's blog that she will be making a trip to Chicago for her own trunk show sometime this week. I have not found any definite details; last I heard she was still in Wisconsin, but I will post as soon as I get the info.
I would love to bring Erin with, so she can show Ysolda her beautiful renditions of the Cairn pattern.

One last bit of news:
Wednesdays on LiveNation.com you can buy tickets to concerts without paying those ridiculous service fees. Concertgoers everywhere are rejoicing.
