bad blogger, no cookies

So, it's been a while.

I've actually had a bunch of knitting projects, of which I've only taken a couple of pictures that I haven't downloaded to the computer yet. I know, bad bad blogger.

I hope to have some time to upload pictures this week, as what's a knitting blog sans pictures?

I've been knitting for my eldest Aunt. She has cancer, and is scheduled to undergo chemo and radiation therapies this month. My mother chose some beautiful yarns. We've had an alpaca/silk, a full alpaca, and now I'm working on a zauberball. The last being a crazy sock yarn that does self striping. I have pictures of the alpaca/silk being blocked and will upload sometime soon (I hope).

We've also gotten a new addition to the family. She's about 22 months old, and is a hand-me-down from more than one previous family. Emma is a cocker spaniel, but I think she may have some poodle in her from the amount of curls in her fur. We'll see how her coat grows before I am sure, though.

I'm 2/3s of the way through my husband's scarf (he needs a new one every year), and I need to make one for my father and my 2 sons. I've got a lovely mini-mochi for my littlest's and some Jo Sharp Alpaca Kid Lustre in black and a mauve for my dad. My oldest is getting a Cascade 220 in either screaming blue or screaming green. Not sure how that will work up yet.

Anyway, that's the news that is fit or not to print here.

Back to the needles...
