Knitting Dragonflies

This is a picture of me knitting (with poison ivy) in a campground (I made my husband stop at one with a shower) notice the Lime N Violet knitting bag!!! I love these girls!! They inspire me and make me laugh, Oh and I like to think I don't normally look quite this bedraggled.

OK we are ba-ack!!! Had a wonderful time hiking in Southern Illinois, beautiful weather, saw some wildlife, got bit by some bugs, have some poison ivy..great time had by all. We stayed for several nights in a cabin, (wonderful, with a hot tub and lots of wildlife, including some icky centipeds, but that is what a man is for ..right? To take care of bugs) I did get quite a bit of knitting done, was quite pleased, I have about 17 balls of Rowan Big Wool in a light green, that was bought for another project and has been knitted and frogged several times. Well I finally found the "perfect pattern" in "KNITTY" Blackberry Shrug in Aran design by Jennifer Thurston, I am soooo excited it is beautiful so far, and going along quite quickly. http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall05/PATTblackberry.html (see pic from Knitty article above) Hope I can find time to work on it, I actually got the fronts, back and one arm totally done. I have been in a big knitting slump, we got two puppies we...

Well I finally decided to set down and do this!! Being the perfectionist that I am I have been waiting for the exact perfect time to start!! I guess that time is now.. Worried that I am not pithy enough or exciting enough to have a blog, I guess I'll find out. I am a forty something female, living in the southern Indiana area, knitting to keep sane, (and that is not working as well as I need it to lately). I work at a mid size hospital as a med tech in the lab, (for going on 30 years now) Ugh....my husband (a drummer and artist, working as a carpenter) were only coming to this area of the contry for one year!! We still talk about moving, but I am beginning to wonder if that will really happen..
