long time, no posts

whoa, can time really get away with a person! hehehe so the holidays have come and gone, sans New Years, and the pace around here has gone down! whew!

so now its "resolution" time. the past few yrs (3 or more) i've not made any resolution. reason being, i got tired of feeling like a failure at the end of the year when i realized less than a month into the new year, those resolutions were a thing of distant memory! well, this year, mine are craft related. i have an acct on ravelry and its in dire need of some upkeep, ie posting photos, and logging in needles/hooks (types and sizes and whatnot), yarns w pics since not all yarns come with pics, updating progress on wips, and ufos.

i didn't realize til 2 days b4 christmas that my son had a 12 yr old stocking! and it was falling apart!! so i've perusing all the sites looking for a patt i like and is somewhat easy, but i've looked at so many i think i may have gone blind! i would like to think that i could and would make a stocking for my son and dh and myself, but realistically, i'm only shooting to make my son one. will soften the burden if i don't feel pressure! but i figure if i do 1 stocking every 3-4 months, done deal!

well, i need to go now and do some youtube to see if i can figure out how to do some color work knitting, intarsia style.

peace out,
elaine

wow!! ravelry!

so i was just in there putting in the hooks and needles i have...i really don't have any "need" for any more! i have the Denise circular interchangable knitting needle set, so i essentially have every circ i could possibly need! there are great!! i have purchased 3 sets, 2 were gifts for friends and 1 was finally for me. check them out @ www.knitdenise.com they rock! i have alot of crochet hooks too. i didnt realize how many dups i have! whoops, oh well, that only means i can get more WIPs going on than i originally thought! woo hoo.

flickr is a little tricky for me. i need to size down alot of my pics to fit into the alotted gigs/rams/whatever! i sometimes wish i were more computer literate.

i have some of my projects listed, i still have alot left to add tho! hehe

i also do cross stitch and am hoping to learn to quilt sometime in the near future, so i think it would be wicked-awesome if ravelry came up with a section for those crafts as well. maybe something all-inclusive if it proves to be too cumbersome. however with the effectiveness of the site thus far, i would have to say that i have faith in them to get something up for that before long.

well, i'm going now coz i have alot more stuff to catalog!!

got my invite!!

and i could be on here ALL nite long!! i guess i can get organized now!! i'm sooo excited. i gotta get a flickr acct set up too. oh man, so much to do and so little time!

p.s. i've only been on there 10 minutes or so and i already got a friend.

woo hoo! i have arrived!

ok! so i've signed up for ravelry and wanted to start a blog...so here i am. i'm 33, married, 1 kid, 2 dogs, and a ferret. i love lighthouses and Elvis. i also love to pass my time with some yarn and knitting needles or crochet hooks (whichever i have a fab patt for at the time) and counted cross stitch. i have recently recieved a quilting book and am looking forward to trying my hand quilting in the very near future. i'm gonna go for now but i'll be back!
