In Celebration of Pink and Red Unlike my friend Christy, who suffered thru this months Project Spectrum assignment - Pink and Red - it was easy for me. I started my project, a pair of socks, a couple weeks ago and finished them up yesterday:  Why was this such an easy month for me? Take a look around... We have pink and red clothing...  .... footwear....  .... purses, totebags and even a pink themed wallet.  Lots of pink and red shawls, scarves, hats and mittens....  ...and accessories of all types.  Just so you don't think it's all about me... the dogs have red and pink stuff too. Collars, leashes and harnesses.  And then we have the sporting goods which have a definite leaning towards the pink side. Missing is the picture of the pink golf bag with matching pink golf balls.     And then of course there is the pink and red around the house. The couch...  ... and towels....  ...for the pink (yes really) bathroom.  Not pictured are my pink sunglasses, red dish drainer and matching sink mat, red garden buckets, pink cleaning caddy, pink and black fur blanket, white mountain scooter with the red tires, red ATV.... oh my.... the pink and red list just goes on and on and on....... Next month will be tough... I am not an orange and yellow kinda girl at all. Watch me suffer now Christy :) Anne at 10:27 AM   | Tuesday, March 28, 2006 Tuesday Morning Round-Up         1) Mystery Shawl - I started out behind on this project when the first clue was released while I was away and I'm still behind. Part way thru Clue 2 at this point. 2) Project Spectrum Socks - turned the heel and heading towards the toe. The Dale Baby Ull is so soft but it splits like crazy. 3) Evergreen Cardi - It's a Manos pattern but I'm using Malabrigo - has there ever been a wool yarn this soft??? I swear it feels like it has silk in it. 4) Sea Foam Lace Shawl - I bought this yarn and pattern last year at Lalana in Taos and I have been thinking about it constantly. I kept telling myself I needed to finish some other things first. This past weekend I finally decided..... What the heck?! You can never have too much lace on the needles! It's working up VERY fast on Size 10s. 5) Diamond Fantasy Shawl - I've seen this shawl knit up all over blogland and finally decided to start mine. It knits up really fast and when it's done, it's Done. No edging to knit on. 6) Work on the FLAK continues. I'm trying the Magic Loop method on the sleeves. I'm not sure if I like the technique or not (I'm usually a 2 circs kind of girl) but I'm going to finish out the sleeve with it before I make a final decision. 7) Swatch of Debbie Bliss Baby Casmerino for a cardigan I just started. Love the yarn but the idea of an entire sweater knit on size 3 needles is daunting! 8) Swatch of Rowan Denim for a lace and cable cardigan Finished! Finished! Finished! First the Neopolitan Socks I started last month:  And a pair of Sock Bug's Lacy Scallops. These socks were so much fun to knit I finished them in a week!   Anne at 10:34 AM | Friday, March 10, 2006 Blog Burn Out Yes, I'm still alive. Yes, I've been knitting. Finished a pair of socks. Started another pair. I'm apparently experiencing total blog burnout. It's not like I post everyday like Wendy, so I don't really know what my problem is. I have little desire to either post to this blog or even read others blogs. I'm sure I'll get over it. Maybe. Here's what I've been up to the past three weeks: Went to the 4 day Denver show. It was cold. VERY COLD. -13 at night. Hovering around 0 during the day. Spent the next week catching up on work - how is it that missing two days of work takes 4 days to recover from? Spent a week in Arizona at the 5 day Scottsdale dog shows. Good friends and family. 75 degree weather. Loooong drive made SO much easier thanks to Brenda Dayne and Marie Irshad. Maybe blogs seem so mundane after listening to very cool podcasts for 1600 miles? Then I had to catch up on missing five days of work. And between all that I was doing this too:  Anne at 10:29 PM | |
