Oye

OK this site frustrates me! I cannot figure out how to get some things done that I want, so I am tyring out some other blogs

If nothing is going on here try me at www.mikki522.wordpress.com or www.funwithknitting.typepad.com I'm tying to decide which I like best. Typepad is winning out right now, but if I decide I wsnt to stay free it will probably be wordpress.

Well see!

quilting today

Today I finished a quilt! Yippee! It is a block of the month I did at my local quilting shop. I only have like 4 or 5 more BOMs to finish! (Not counting the other 5 million or so other projects)Anyway I finished quilting it and put the binding on today. It will be great in my family room this fall, whenever the cools down.(It’s about 90 today) I have to get DH to take some pictures so I can post them later!

I also went to the grocery to get Kool aid for my adventures in yarn dyeing I’m planning on trying tomorrow! I was excited the Kool-Aid was on sale…20 for $2 whoo who! So I think I’m going to try that tomorrow.

My first post

HI! Well this is my first post. I'm pretty new the blogging world but enjoy reading others blogs so much that I decided to start my own. I've been knitting for a little over a year and a half. I've been quilting for over 10 years. But I just love the portability of knitting I take it everywhere I go. You can't do that too much with quilting. (lugging a big sewing machine and all the tools that go along with quilting just wouldn't be easy!) But hey I can throw my yarn, needles, and a few accessories into a bag and off I go!

Right now I'm working on several (ie toooo many projects)I need to make myself finish one! Ha ha. NO really I am trying to make myself start finishing a few things before I can cast on new ones. I get inspired by how much some of the other bloggers accomplish! One of the many projects I'm working on right now is Tempting II from www.knitty.com with the Sexy knitters Club I can't belief how great some of the sweaters are coming out! I'm still worried about my gauge so with a few inches done I decided to start the Somewhat Cowl from Knit and Tonic a former sexy knit.

Well I guess I've rambled on enough for now...
