It's all about me!

I'm sick to death of making baby things so I'm working on something for me. This is my tree jacket from zephyr style. I am using Valley Yarns Longmeadow, which my mom bought for me at Stitches Midwest this year. I think it's going well. It's basically a top down raglan, so I've customized it to my size and my guage just knitting until it fits the way I want. It's a great way to work. I've elongated the garter stitch area so that it totally covers my boobs. Then if I want I can wear it without a tank underneath and not look totally trashy.

That is the mess of ends from the baby jacket and blanket that I gave at a shower this past weekend. Hopefully it will be the last baby shower I need to go to for a while. No offense to the babymakers in this world, but I am baby showered out!

Speaking of babies, my sister is currently 1 centimeter dilated! I know this doesn't mean the baby is necessarily coming soon, but still its exciting! Her due date is Nov. 5th, but almost all babies in our family are born early (between a month and a week early).



That's me (on the far left) making a rare appearance on my own blog with my siblings at my sister's baby shower. Here's another lovely picture of me, my sister and mom at the shower. (isn't my sister a cute little pregnant lady?)



I'll have an update on bud later this week! Click the pictures to make bigger.

An original and perhaps a contest?

Read below for some kind of contest details!

There are: 0 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

I am one of a kind!

So from my little stats things, I see that this, right here, right now is my 99th post on this here blog! That makes my next post the big 100th post. Wow I am non-wordy, considering this blog will have been in place for 2 years on March 22 (day after my 27th birthday). So I think I will give away a little yarn prize in my 100th post. I am thinking something along the lines of a randomly chosen commenter (I don't get a lot of comments, so the chances are good that if you comment, you will win). I'm thinking the prize will be based upon the winners preferences as far as color/yarn (I will try my hardest to be accomodating). So look for this later in the week!

so yadda yadda yadda

I've got stuff to post, but I just updated to the new blogger and some htings have gone a little haywire. Also I spilled Coke all over my keyboard. Who new that laptops and Coke just do not mix? A new keyboard should be here next week. Then I will have a new post with pictures and projects and all the good stuff!
