2 weeks...

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's day (I know, I know!! I'm two weeks late on that). My life has been non-stop crazy ever since my last post. I haven't even had much time to talk to my mother for more than a minute or so.

I've been quite lazy with my knitting. I'm about halfway done with Gus' hat and while cleaning out the art room (in progress) I found about 4 other projects I had completely forgotten about. Oops, I guess I have a problem with startitis.

So currently on the needles? Let's count them, shall we?
1) Gus' hat
2) Toast #1
3) Toast #2
4) A super special secret surprise!!!
5) A scarf I started for Liz AGES ago
6) Drop stitch scarf for Casey that is mere inches from being done!

And what have I done all afternoon? I watched Penelope and ate two pieces of chocolate I received in the mail yesterday as a late Valentine's day present from my mum. Now that I have the house to myself, I may just finish a project or two. I did have plans for this afternoon but it seems I am being stood up. I promise, I will have photos to post next time. Until then, add me on Ravelry!

FINALLY

I am finally finished with the scarf I had been putting off for months and months. I improvised my own patten for a Ravenclaw scarf. Finally finished the last stripe and fringe tonight at knitting club!! I didn't have my camera, but the boyfriend was nice enough to take a grainy cell phone picture of me wearing it before I gave it away. More pictures to come soon, but for now, enjoy.

Details:
54" long, 6" wide
Made for Mick
Used Caron Simply Soft in Dark Country Blue and Grey Heather

Shameless Promotion

There is this awesome new book out for kids called The Super Duper Kid Fantastic by Dominick Blanda. It is available on Target.com, Amazon.com, and AuthorHouse.com.

The author and illustrator, Dominick Blanda, is a good friend of mine and I think this book deserves some more publicity. He is a wonderful husband, parent, friend and boss (and I should know). Please check his book out. It's a wonderful addition to any children's library (and some of us grown-ups can learn from it, too).

This is a story about an uncommon young boy
Who is quite different in his own special way.
The school kids know him as Kenneth Francis:
The boy who doesn't run, or laugh, or play.
But when the school kids are placed in a sticky situation Kenneth becomes:
THE SUPER, DUPER KID FANTASTIC!
... A shy boy who just might save the day.
