Not Knitting
Well *I* am knitting. As a matter of fact, I am now up to 57% of the Picasso wallhanging. Woohoo! This sucker is going to be HUGE. It is nearing 4 ft tall now and I am just up to her boobs. It will shrink nearly 50% if the felting gods are happy with my sacrifice, so I am not too concerned. I deliberately doubled the rows (the purl row is the same on the way back) because of this. If I were knitting it as straight up intarsia, I would not have done that and I would have been finished by now. In the famous words of Dorie "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming".
My sister, Kim, has some very cool bracelets for sale. She sent my stepmom some of her beads and my stepmom did some fancy wire work and sent them back. Great teamwork! One of the bracelets sold as I was trying to get the pictures up. Go buy one from her website now because if they make it to Ebay, they will NOT go for that price.

Finally, an update from me
I am nearly finished with a Berroco Pattern. This is my second pattern from there and both have been easy knits. Meet Suzette. I am actually using a really pretty cotton I picked up at the market a month or so ago. My sister is going to make some glass buttons to match.
Oh and you will NEVER guess what I picked up and knitted six rows on. Remember the Picasso wall hanging? Yup. I MUST finish this thing. It is taking up a gad-awful amount of space. I simply can't wait to see what it will felt like. It is so big now that I will have no choice but to stomp on it in the bathtub ala Lucy Ricardo. I am up past her belly button. So exciting to watch the picture emerge (yes, it is true, I need to get out more).
