Spin A Yarn for Ewe

So, I saw this post yesterday that has inspired new knitting. Even though I have 2 projects going, the SotS3 and a secret gifty one, I have decided to take them on.

See The 3 Day has been something I have been training for and of course you all know raising money for since a lot of you have helped out in that department, $975 raised by knitters so far, but I never had a team. I had met people on a few training walks but they were mostly already paired up and didn't want or need another. That was until this past weekend. I found a woman doing training walks close by, not in my neighborhood but close enough for me. I emailed back and forth with her a few times and decided to join her team for a 17 mile training walk. Let me tell you I was scared for the walking part as I had not gone this far in my training but I sucked it up and went. Let me tell you that was the best decision I ever made. The ladies on the team are great. So much fun to talk and walk with and they asked if I was walking alone or with a team. When I said alone they said you have to join us as we need an extra person so that we have a even number to tent with and now I am on a team with 7 others. I have met 3 out of the 4 that live here and the others are coming from Colorado. I now have a team with people who are as excited about this experience as I am and it makes all the difference. So the hats are something I want to do as a surprise for all of them plus they will probably come in handy at night in camp.

Sorry no photos but once I get the first hat done I will post it. I only have until November 21st but I don't think they will take that long. I had quite the time finding the yarn I wanted but finally decided on it today so as soon as it gets here it is boobs hats all the time until they are all done.

I am not sure why I haven't posted in a while. Guess I have just been busy with other stuff. I have been knitting but my last attempt at something new came out ho-hum so I am going to have to force myself to do the finishing. Maybe it will be better when I do. It is Morgan from the new Knitty. I will take pictures after I do the finishing either way so you can see for yourselves.

I have been knitting away on the Secret of the Stole 3. The pattern is going well and I am loving the yarn but it only lasts a few day then I have to find something else to work on and that seems to be my problem.



I have found a few new patterns that have peaked my interest. 2 are in the new Mason-Dixon book. Here are the 2 I like. (That is the only place I could find them that wasn't on Ravelry. Guess we have similar taste.)
The others are in Casual Elegant Knits which I won in a contest held by Susan. Besides a few of the hats the Little Flirt Skirt is one I really like. But I am thinking of switching the yarn out for some denim I have so I have to take the shrinkage into account. Swatching and washing will be required.

Hopefully I will be around more often. I mean I know you want to see the hat.
