Shawl Collar Cardigan from Jo Sharp Knit Issue One in a very soft brown alpaca...a very snuggly fall cardigan!  Two soft fall knits...and today I ordered some olive tweedy yarn from Webs (Valley yarns English Tweed) for the Cobblestone Pullover for Hubby that I plan to knit this fall for him.  It is dk weight so I am hoping to get gauge or at least close to it using 6 or 7 needles.  We shall see.  I saw another blogger using this yarn and it looked lovely.  It is what my Hubby picked out.  Classic Elite Skye tweed is getting more difficult to find, especially colors that are more manly.  Too bad it is discontinued.  It is beautiful yarn.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25627235-6272163060742668040?l=shannieknitchic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/feeds/6272163060742668040/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25627235&amp;postID=6272163060742668040' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/6272163060742668040'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/6272163060742668040'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/2007/09/fall-knitting.html' title='Fall knitting.'/><author><name>ShannieKnitChic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05304675659484501644</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MFLmGbjE_VM/RuMfng-i8wI/AAAAAAAAADE/tRFmkuwipJ0/s72-c/IMG_0424.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25627235.post-3280965977076817119</id><published>2007-08-24T18:55:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-08-24T19:02:59.960-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Do I have "the" Syndrome?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MFLmGbjE_VM/Rs9jeP7vM7I/AAAAAAAAACs/EtHUlKSozTk/s1600-h/IMG_0413.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MFLmGbjE_VM/Rs9jeP7vM7I/AAAAAAAAACs/EtHUlKSozTk/s320/IMG_0413.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102406274158375858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MFLmGbjE_VM/Rs9je_7vM8I/AAAAAAAAAC0/Do8NLRLWb4g/s1600-h/IMG_0414.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MFLmGbjE_VM/Rs9je_7vM8I/AAAAAAAAAC0/Do8NLRLWb4g/s320/IMG_0414.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102406287043277762" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MFLmGbjE_VM/Rs9jfv7vM9I/AAAAAAAAAC8/wTXpBNzov5Y/s1600-h/IMG_0415.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MFLmGbjE_VM/Rs9jfv7vM9I/AAAAAAAAAC8/wTXpBNzov5Y/s320/IMG_0415.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102406299928179666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have knit four single socks since last year.

I have finished, well almost, the Salina...done minus the cuffs.  I finished my third Clapotis in purpley reddish Malabrigo.  I finished one Hedera, and have begun the Shetland Triangle for the third time...I had begun it using some Rowan 4-ply, but I like the Malabrigo Laceweight.  I just wanted to update what I have been up to other than loving my house!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25627235-3759529422187319894?l=shannieknitchic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/feeds/3759529422187319894/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25627235&amp;postID=3759529422187319894' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/3759529422187319894'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/3759529422187319894'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/2007/06/purples-and-reds.html' title='Purples and reds...'/><author><name>ShannieKnitChic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05304675659484501644</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MFLmGbjE_VM/RoUsXbqNJuI/AAAAAAAAABc/54u8Fac5qGM/s72-c/IMG_0347.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25627235.post-6256857965909943752</id><published>2007-04-25T18:46:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-04-25T18:58:45.133-04:00</updated><title type='text'>New Home Sweet Home.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MFLmGbjE_VM/Ri_dFlfdgrI/AAAAAAAAABE/_a3gvPEKZ_Y/s1600-h/IMG_0331.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MFLmGbjE_VM/Ri_dFlfdgrI/AAAAAAAAABE/_a3gvPEKZ_Y/s320/IMG_0331.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057503994593510066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is where we have been spending our time of late.

What a simple, lovely, and very quick pattern.  I have seen a few of these and loved the pattern!  I had to have one.  And a simple sweater pattern is always a good thing.  I am also working on another pair of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Jaywalkers&lt;/span&gt;.  Love that pattern, too.  Spring Break is here and I am going to knit!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25627235-117528630998013948?l=shannieknitchic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/feeds/117528630998013948/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25627235&amp;postID=117528630998013948' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/117528630998013948'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/117528630998013948'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/2007/03/raglan-love.html' title='Raglan love.'/><author><name>ShannieKnitChic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05304675659484501644</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25627235.post-117347911300424830</id><published>2007-03-09T17:16:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-03-09T17:28:38.020-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Finally....a FO!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/1600/880998/IMG_0288.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/320/135171/IMG_0288.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/1600/498375/IMG_0291.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/320/422194/IMG_0291.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/1600/346488/IMG_0289.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/320/845734/IMG_0289.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have finally finished a sweater...and this is one that has been otn for almost a year!

I have already worn them a few times, they are really thick and warm! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend, we went to Patriot's Point in Charleston, S.C.  We spent two nights on the U.S.S. Yorktown (CV-10)  Aircraft carrier.  Silly us, we forgot our camera.  Our den leader for the cubscouts will get some pictures to us. The boys had a blast, the sleeping arrangements were tight, especially for the boys, sleeping on bunks that were four high!  It was cold being surrrounded by thirty thousand tons of steel in the middle of January on the bay in Charleston, but the scouts had a great time touring the submarine and destroyer along side the aircraft carrier.  We  will definitely be re-visiting in warmer weather.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25627235-116943171775238750?l=shannieknitchic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/feeds/116943171775238750/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25627235&amp;postID=116943171775238750' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/116943171775238750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/116943171775238750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/2007/01/finished-poms.html' title='Finished Poms'/><author><name>ShannieKnitChic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05304675659484501644</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25627235.post-116888420627587302</id><published>2007-01-15T12:51:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-01-15T13:05:39.166-05:00</updated><title type='text'>My knitting Mojo is back.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/1600/58179/IMG_0202.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/320/845335/IMG_0202.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/1600/644781/IMG_0203.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/320/626039/IMG_0203.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/1600/345783/IMG_0199.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/320/378363/IMG_0199.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am finally feeling the knitting again. For a few weeks, I have just not been *into* knitting. Fear not, it is back! I finished Dustin's scarf, have been working on Demi, finished my Pom's...and yes, that is another Clapotis that I have started. I love the mindlessness of the pattern and I actually love the way this pattern turns out with the Malabrigo...so warm and soft, I had to make another, using the stash, of course! Joy is on the backburner right now...I want to concentrate on Demi, since it is a tedious knit, I want to keep plowing ahead for fear that I won't finish it!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25627235-116888420627587302?l=shannieknitchic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/feeds/116888420627587302/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25627235&amp;postID=116888420627587302' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/116888420627587302'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/116888420627587302'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/2007/01/my-knitting-mojo-is-back.html' title='My knitting Mojo is back.'/><author><name>ShannieKnitChic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05304675659484501644</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25627235.post-116639047229324539</id><published>2006-12-17T16:04:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-12-17T17:15:12.633-05:00</updated><title type='text'>"Joy" to the world...and Spread the Love.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/1600/220064/IMG_0188.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/320/240124/IMG_0188.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; I have been working on the Joy Cardigan and the Besotted scarf in the evenings after knitting a few rows on the Demi pullover. The Demi is one that I can knit a few rows and be done with it for a day, it is sooo tedious. I have completed a second pattern repeat, but did not want to post another picture of it. Maybe when I am done with the piece I am working on.  The Besotted scarf is for my oldest son who really wants a hand-knit scarf from his mommy.  I am using Malabrigo in the Alpine Pearl color that he picked out this summer when our LYS was having a big sale.   I like the pattern- cute little X's and O's-what I call *spread the love* scarf!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/320/94935/IMG_0186.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/1600/648034/IMG_0182.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/320/326083/IMG_0182.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/1600/524166/IMG_0190.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/320/423453/IMG_0190.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25627235-116639047229324539?l=shannieknitchic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/feeds/116639047229324539/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25627235&amp;postID=116639047229324539' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/116639047229324539'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/116639047229324539'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/2006/12/joy-to-worldand-spread-love.html' title='&quot;Joy&quot; to the world...and Spread the Love.'/><author><name>ShannieKnitChic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05304675659484501644</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25627235.post-116587213403068263</id><published>2006-12-11T16:14:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-12-11T16:22:14.043-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/1600/181421/IMG_0177.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3323/2680/320/461839/IMG_0177.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is what I have been working on since Thanksgiving.... The Demi pullover!  It is one tough knit...really must pay attention to the pattern and chart...it is driving me crazy, but I think it is going to be worth it all in the end! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been too busy for blogging lately, with a new student in my class (super sweet!  but a lot more work with 7 of them!), Christmas shopping and planning,  and just plain tired out!  I will be working on this Demi for a while, I have a feeling.  I also had to frog Joy, thinking I had made a mistake, and realized later that I did not make a mistake...oh, well.  Knitting is therapy, so if you have to re-do a knit, it is just extra therapy!

I loved this sweater the first time I saw it, I love the cables...I am finally not intimidated by the pattern, after knitting many patterns from charts, I am ready to tackle this one! I am using some Tahki Donegal Tweed from my stash in this yellowish-greenish color yarn with yellow and brown flecks of color (color #838, discontinued)!  The yarn is a little thin at times, kind of like Noro's silk garden, but I think it will be the perfect yarn for this sweater!  It is not too bulky, will be kind of airy.  I am going to try it and see.  The gauge is a little off, but I think it will be o.k. if I knit the 38 1/2.  We will see.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25627235-116290620161337896?l=shannieknitchic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/feeds/116290620161337896/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25627235&amp;postID=116290620161337896' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/116290620161337896'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/116290620161337896'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/2006/11/swatchin-i-will-go.html' title='A swatchin&apos;

Upon finishing the Central Park Hoodie, I felt guilty for abandoning this sweet, although intimidating knit.  It is a very simple knit; the hemming afterwards is what scares me.

Michael bought me some Tahki New Tweed in Navy this weekend from someone Destashing...it is beautiful!  I plan on making a vest with it, I really want to find a pattern for a cute cabled vest, since I am addicted to cables lately.  I purchased the Patons Street Smart pattern book the other weekend and am planning on knitting the cute cabled hoodie on the front in Peacock color, and I am going to knit the Must Have Cardigan in the Natural mix color.  Soooo much knitting I want to do! I stayed home today with a sick son and thought I would get some knitting done...I really did not get alot done, between cleaning and looking after Jack, but I am to my heel on the sock I am working on!  Maybe I will have a pair of socks done before too long!  I really want to get all of my socks done this month, the ones that don't have mates.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25627235-115999039756283830?l=shannieknitchic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/feeds/115999039756283830/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25627235&amp;postID=115999039756283830' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/115999039756283830'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/115999039756283830'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/2006/10/yay-for-new-tweed.html' title='Yay for NEW TWEED!!'/><author><name>ShannieKnitChic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05304675659484501644</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25627235.post-115991407037659661</id><published>2006-10-03T17:59:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-03T18:21:10.450-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Everything is much clearer now!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/1600/IMG_0012.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/200/IMG_0012.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I just got a new digital camera...the sock photos are much better!!&lt;br /&gt;The boys wanted their pics taken, too.

Happy Birthday, MOM-IN- LAW! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have many, many other projects OTN that I have been working on little by little...nothing worth a pic, tho...I am beginning the sleeves of my cabled hoodie and hopefully I will be finishing that sooooon!!  I have many socks in the works that I must finish before I join any sock of the month clubs...and I am really wanting to join one, such as Sundara Petals Collection(which opens up on September 12 for new members), Rockin' Sock Club(Blue Moon Fiber Arts) will be opening soon for 2007...so, I MUST knit all the socks I have currently so that I won't feel bad about joining these clubs...oh, what am I talking about, I won't feel bad either way :o))))))))  I will post a pic later to show the bag felted!  Chow for now!  Oh, yeah, it has been four weeks and 1 day since my DH and I have had a smoke!

We are getting married on June 6...our date is 06/06/06!  Never going to forget that one! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/1600/Picture%20027.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/320/Picture%20027.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is my 6 year old and I waiting patiently for the wedding to begin...Michael was in the wedding so we all had to be there 2 hours before the wedding...the boys were soooo patient!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/1600/new%20knitting%20008.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/320/new%20knitting%20008.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the Streakers Shrug that I just finished blocking...knit in Noro Silk Garden #213 and it is absolutely gorgeous!!  I finished the first shrug using the Streakers about a month ago...will post pics soon.  But I like it in the Noro!!  I have worn the first shrug so much, it is my favorite thing so far that I have knit!!  I had to make another, and had some Noro I was going to use for socks...decided it would make a better shrug!  LOOOOOVE it!!  I will finish the lace cuffs and seaming tomorrow and will post pics for sure.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/1600/DCFC0001.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/320/DCFC0001.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an awesome Booga bag that I knit and felted about 2 months ago...and have been using it ever since!!  My first felted bag and will have to knit another soon, I love it!  I have to make Michael's mom one for her birthday soon.  She really loves it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/1600/new%20knitting%20006.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/320/new%20knitting%20006.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is me knitting...I hold my arms up when knitting...weird but it works!  I think I do it because it is more comfy on my back...I usually knit in bed, because I can prop up against the wall and sit very straight...when I knit sitting on the couch, I can't lean back because I need to be sitting straight or my back will hurt.  I guess we all have our secrets!  &lt;br /&gt;I have also started on the Clapotis by Kate Gilbert, same designer for the Sunrise Circle Jacket, and am knitting it in the new yarn by Noro...mostly synthetic with a little wool and silk and it is turning out lovely.  Will post pics soon...Finished one of my Fishladder socks and began the other...I have been busy!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25627235-114818750646765711?l=shannieknitchic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/feeds/114818750646765711/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25627235&amp;postID=114818750646765711' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/114818750646765711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/114818750646765711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/2006/05/what-have-i-been-up-to-lately.html' title='What have I been up to lately??'/><author><name>ShannieKnitChic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05304675659484501644</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25627235.post-114497157222345533</id><published>2006-04-13T19:16:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-04-16T22:34:42.833-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Sweater Accessories</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/1600/DCFC0005.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/200/DCFC0005.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sunrise Circle Jacket will have buttons!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I was at Joann's to pick up some craft items for school, and happened to check out their buttons...and my fiance' helped me pick out these for the jacket.

I was accepted into the Sunrise Circle Jacket knitalong! YAY!! I must say, I am really excited to be a part of a big knitting group...I look forward to finishing my Jacket and seeing everyone else accomplish their own. It is neat to see all the different colors and yarns everyone is using. I am looking forward to all the new adventures I will undertake with being a Knitting Groupie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did not get any knitting done today...no, instead my hubby-to-be and I began the huge task of Spring Cleaning. We put all the plants out, went to Home Depot and bought a huge new home for our Split leaf philly, picked up some storage containers for winter clothes(and bags for my knitting stash...it is now all in one place...Under the entire bed!) So we went through our stuff, cleaned out some closets, threw some stuff out, more stuff to the garage for garage sale...to be continued tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I am off to knit...must...finish....streakers.....shrug....&lt;br /&gt;need.....to.....get.....to......Sunrisecircle!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25627235-114454868241079302?l=shannieknitchic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/feeds/114454868241079302/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25627235&amp;postID=114454868241079302' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/114454868241079302'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/114454868241079302'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/2006/04/its-official_08.html' title='It&apos;s Official!!'/><author><name>ShannieKnitChic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05304675659484501644</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25627235.post-114451805645635133</id><published>2006-04-08T13:28:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-04-16T22:19:51.186-04:00</updated><title type='text'>To Frog, or not to Frog.....</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/1600/DCFC0063.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/200/DCFC0063.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Streakers Shrug&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/1600/DCFC0058.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3323/2680/1600/DCFC0063.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In the beginning...well, the second beginning of the Streakers Shrug...I loooove the yarn in Oriental streak...but this skein has some major thick and thin issues. I am trying to decide weather or not to frog it and begin again with another skein...but my hubby to be says to leave it, that the "bumps" caused by the thicker parts of the yarn give it character. I guess he is right. I so want to get this done, I am going to keep going! I just hope that making this in the bigger size doesn't end up way tooooo big on me! We will see, this knits up fast. Then it is on to the Felted Hobo bag.

After countless hours of surfing the web and visiting all of the Knitters Blogs, I have decided to take on one of my own.  With a lot of help from my brainy computer nerd fiance'.  This will be fun...and I will spend countless hours on my own Blog Spot, in between knitting of course...while my fiance' spends countless hours on his computer playing video games.  What a perfect arrangement we have :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been knitting the Sunrise Circle Jacket from Interweave Knits and am having lots of fun...I even emailed Kate with a problem I was having and she told me to visit the Sunrisecirclejacket blog...I am thinking about joining!  What a fun thing to do, knit along with others and getting to see all of the finished projects!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have also been knitting the Streakers Shrug out of the same mag...and had to tear it out...tooooo small, so I have ordered more of the yarn **yikes, expensive, but oooooh so worth it**and am making the shrug a little bigger.  The La Lana Wools Streakers!  is absolutely a dream to work with!!  I highly recommend it to any knitter.  I am having a great affair with this yarn...and am looking forward to wearing it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will post pics as I am finished with projects...this should be a fun undertaking!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25627235-114444602347519144?l=shannieknitchic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/feeds/114444602347519144/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25627235&amp;postID=114444602347519144' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/114444602347519144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25627235/posts/default/114444602347519144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shannieknitchic.blogspot.com/2006/04/newbie-blogger.html' title='Newbie Blogger'/><author><name>ShannieKnitChic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05304675659484501644</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
