My New Cast on and all that Jazz

By -
There's a new project in town.  This knit necklace is a shop pattern from my LYS.  I've cast on!  I'll share if it is a good pattern.  I'm crazy for it.  Wheeeeeeee.

I walked around the Studio looking for inspiration and just couldnt find any.  Plenty of knitters were in their classes and showing me their projects for the Studio blog.  

 Nothing was hitting me.  Nada.  Nope. Nothin.

 Then I spied with my little eye: this necklace.  

 Things continue at a crazy pants rate around here.  Boundaries!  Boudaries.  Great time to practice my boundaries. 
I cant' fix it all.  I'm not supposed to.  

 Have I mentioned that I love the Budlite Lime-a- ritas? 
There is a new country song I love: the title
YOU LOOK LIKE I NEED A DRINK.  

 How's it going by you?

Not much happening here - three stalled knitting projects and trying to manage fabric scraps.

I saw the knit necklace in Vegas last spring: it's cute. Happy knitting.

All I do is cast on and put things in bags and hope the knitting fairies come and finish them so I can cast on for more stuff!

Crazy pants rate describes my life lately, to a tee! AND it's June already. Where is the year going--I haven't even started Christmas. I love the knitted necklace. It would be a great Christmas gift! Thanks for the great idea.

I look forward to the necklace you make. I had to get up early to take my daughter and two GDs to the airport. Now back to normal life.. as normal as it gets around here anyway. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Big ch-ch-ch-changes coming here and while it is exciting, it is also a bit scary.

Hope you enjoy knitting the necklace. Looks cute.

What a fun pattern! I'm looking forward to seeing what yours looks like. My life has been fairly boring lately. Just knitting and crocheting while waiting for my silly head to heal. Hope things go well for you.
Blessings,
Betsy

I love that i-cord necklace. I hope it's a good pattern.
I never lack for inspiration on what to knit -- or bead, or draw. That's why I always have an insane number of projects going.
And I must check out that song. What a great title!

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
