Yes, I'm still here...

Wow, what is WITH me? It's been months since my last post. I am happy to report that the 1st Punk Rock Backpack is complete. Here is my niece sporting it...



I am so glad to be done with it! The niece's birthday was almost 2 months ago so it's a very late gift. I felt so bad I ended up sending her a card with money!

So I still have the other monkey bag to finish (already sent THAT niece her card and money LOL) and I started on the Big Bad Baby Blanket (from SnB) for my friend Mollie. I tried taking a picture but my digital camera seems to be on the fritz. So I'll just post a link to the yarn. It's Sierra Quattro (Cascade) in #87 - the green, pinks and blue.

Other than that I'm still trying to finish up on other projects, I have a severe case of not-enough-knitting-time right now. My work has kept me busy and my son just turned 4. I've also been doing a lot of planting in the yard, I'll try to get some pics up of that once there are some blooms :D I am new to gardening and I LOVE it! So between that and knitting I've picked up two hobbies in the past year :D

Speaking of hobbies I have been reading a good book called 'The Distant Land of My Father'. It's about Shanghai in the 30s.

Well, I have to make a dent in my work today before I pick up the kids. Hopefully I'll have a productive evening of knitting and some pictures to show for it!
