Why is that people who have a full time job seem to be able to get more done in any given day than people who do not? It is because they plan their time for what they need and want to do outside of work. I do not work & am having a hard time getting the things done that I need and want to do. So...I came up with this fabulous idea. Yesterday was my birthday...Happy Birthday to me. Instead of a New Years resolution, I made a Birthday resolution. Ready...here goes...I decided that every morning when I get up I’m am going to pick 1 thing that I feel I want to get done that day, whether it be knitting, drawing, posting, sewing, checking out other blogs, exercising...get the picture? Now...once I get that done, anything else I do is just a bonus for that day. I think it could really work. Don’t you? Guess what my goal was today...you got it...posting on my blog!!! Now for the good stuff…

Knitting Update…
I have finally finished my Jo Sharp Cable wrap cardigan. This is a lot of sweater. Have a look…

and the back…

I am very pleased with this cardi. I’m wearing it more as a jacket as it is very cozy & warm...not itchy at all.
Pattern...Wrap Cardigan from Jo Sharp Contemporary Knitting (The sweater is on the cover)
Yarn...Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed in Posie
Needles...Inox circulars (my favorite) in size US 6 & US 7
The only alterations I made to the pattern is that I did not increase the sleeves stitches to 96 (yes, I had to rip out the whole sleeve as it was HUGE) I only increased to 76 stitches. Much better! I also lengthened the sleeves by 2 cm each. Go check out Donna’s (she made the same one in a different color. I love her color better though. Did you hear me D? I absolutely love knitting cables. I could do it all the time...which brings me to the next knit project I am working on…


This is from Karabella and it is called the Cable cardigan…

I am using Aurora 8 in color #138. I really wanted to knit this sweater but I didn’t have the yarn yet so I started the other. I am going to start this very soon though. I love it & it is something different than cables.

Stitches Update…
Donna & I went to Stitches. Now we live only a half hour away. Since we are used to Atlantic City & staying over for 2 nights, we decided to do the same here. We stayed at the Hyatt. It was newly refurbished & was beautiful. We had a fabulous time. We were not able to take photos as they were not allowed. But we did manage to get a couple outside the doors of the market…



Don’t we look sooooo happy to be there? We did have a blast.

I have to show you my brand new knitting bag I got last week (no...it is not from Stitches)…

Here is a photo of the interior…

And a close up of the beautiful antique button...
This is the most gorgeous knitting bag I have ever seen. It is from Green Mountain Knitting Bags
The quality of her work is simply amazing. Go check her out!!!

Well I have lots more to post...but that’s enough for today.
ummmm...I wonder what my goal will be for tomorrow!

Have a great one!!!
