I really don't have anything to blog about.  I am sitting at the computer and my hands need to be busy.  I've started a crochet project that is wearing out my hands.  I love knitting.  I prefer to knit.Knitting is easier on my hands.  I think with the crochet, I hold it to tight or maybe it's because I have to hold it differently.  So I try holding the hook like a pencil, normally, so I try to hold the hook like a man holding a fork digging into his supper on a camping trip.  (I don't know where I get that idea about the way men hold their forks....I really don't think I pay that much attention).  But, anyway, I found a recipe for a cool looking sweater and it happens to be crocheted.  I like it so much, I don't care.  So, I bought the pattern at Annie's Attic and dive in with some dark grey yarn I had laying around and while I am on the first sleeve, I find I will not have enough yarn to complete it.  I ordered more yarn and the project goes on the back of the table and start to work on other things.  Well, no I find the yarn is on back order and winter is slowly slipping away.  I really wanted to wear this thing!  Well, now I have decided I would really like this crocheted sweater to be from a different yarn anyway....Weekend by Berocco seems to be what I want this thing out of , so I started hooking it again on Saturday.  I worked on it all day yesterday and nearly done with the back.   I am going to like it alot better and it won't be so heavy, I'm sure I can wear it into spring because it's a cotton blend yarn. 
In the meantime, I have started a Knit A Long sweater, knit sideways.  It's an easy knit, but A LOT of knitting in garter stitch.  I leave it at the shop and work on it when there is nothing else to do.  One of the participants is further along than I am!  She will have to lead the next get together tomorrow night, because she knows whats going on more than I do.  We cancelled last weeks knit a long because it snowed and I feared it getting slickery for them on the way home.  (one lives out of town).  So, I have no idea how far the others have come.  The idea is to have them knit a larger object and gain confidence from the experience. 
I am also working on a lace project I started last fall.  I picked it up again last week.  It is a Trellis and Leaf pattern and will be a beautiful shawl with short sleeves if I ever get it finished.  I have only knit 4 inces of it so far! 
An eylet and garter stitch cowl is also being worked on and almost done with the 60" I am supposed to knit.  It's lovely knitting it with a self striping yarn.  The pattern can be found online at Knitting Fever and is a Noro Pattern, but I had some Nordley's sock yarn I wanted to use.
But speaking of Noro, I am knitting a bunny for next months spring window, with Noro Kureyon...very colorful!
I love it when a customer walks through the door and shows me a project....and I usually have to make it too.  Last week it was a Bandana Cowl, a free Ravelry pattern by that name.  So I knit one with some alpaca I had in my stash from a fiber fest I went to about 3 or so years ago.  That is also why I started the eyelet cowl.....a customer was knitting them and giving them as gifts and showed it to me.  I don't know the name of it, but I eat like that too....I won't be hungry, but if my DH comes in the room eating something , I have to eat it too.  Same with knitting, if someone else is knitting it, I have to knit it too! 
I did finish the Remix sweater I started last fall it's full of cables and I lovingly called it the stupid sweater or the never ending sweater.  But, I did finish it and would love to wear it, but it is now hanging on the wall at the shop, so others will want to make it too!  (because I am sure others might have the same disease that I have.
I also started a tank top using a new yarn I am getting soon.  So I will have a model by spring!
Talking about knitting makes me want to get back to my projects, but now it's time to think about dinner......later!
