FOs and WIPs...I promised :)
So, I've been working on many things and have even finished some things here and there. I thought I'd share some of these wonderful things with you. Enjoy :)
First of all, I should share my Tardis Dishcloth This didn't take me very long to do. It's done with Berroco Love It (obviously I used blue).
Secondly, I started my first sock. There is no pattern...I just kind of winged it. It will probably end up being way too large for me...but I'll wear them anyway because I made them. It's not finished. I'm past the heel flap so I'm just working on the foot. And then I have a whole other sock to do. I started working on it in June or July.
Thirdly, I'm working on the Andeal Treasure Shawl. It was supposed to be a Christmas present for a friend of mine...she just didn't say which Christmas.
Fourthly, I'm working on a sweater. I'm almost finished with it. I started it at the end of September, thinking I'd have it done by the end of October. Yeah, not so much...but, it's almost finished now. I have the front and back done, the sleeves are almost done (I'm doing them at the same time). All I have left to do is sew the front and back together, finish the neckline, and sew up the rest of it. So, this is what the front looks like. Oh, and it's the Devon Sweater.
And lastly, I got a bug in my pants to make a hat for myself. I picked out the London Beanie. I made it almost to the recipe...and it was way too short. So, I'm going to give it to my friend's daughter for her 2nd birthday (which is tomorrow, actually).

Charter can DIAF.
I'm canceling my cable/internet service in favor of something that is, hopefully, more reliable. I hate Charter. Every other month, they're raising their rates on crappy cable and internet services. So, they're going. They can DIAF for all I care. We have enough TV/Movies on the Apple TV to accommodate...and Hulu and Boxee...and the internets. I think we'll be okay.
Also, I'm canceling my land line. I'm a little heartbroken about that as I have had that same phone number since 1983...but no one calls it except for telemarketers (the ones that get around the law) and the occasional wrong number. So, it's a wasted $60/month that we can use toward the new internet.
As for the internet we're getting, we're getting AT&T DSL and bundling it with the mobiles. So...we'll be spending $250/month (probably less) by bundling (Brian and I both have iPhones) rather than $75/month on Charter, $60/month on the land line, and $200/month on the mobiles. So, really, we're saving money, getting rid of cable, and acquiring internet sanity all at the same time. Glorious.
And then there's my knitting...my sweater is oh-so close to being finished. I have to finish the arms (I'm about 10 rows away from being done with both), connect the front and back, do the neckline, and sew up the seams. Hmmm...it was supposed to take me from the middle of September to the end of October. And then school happened. So, it'll be finished by the end of March, so long as I didn't mess up anything important along the way (like the front being longer than the back or something silly like that). We'll see.
I'm still working on my first sock, as well. I'm past the heel and working on the bottom half, which is boring because I just keep knitting and knitting...and then I have a whole other one to make. I might have them finished by this time next year.
Sherri's shawl is still on the needles, too. I haven't worked on it much...trying to get the sweater done. I made a London Beanie a week or so ago...and it is way too short for me so I'm giving it to Sherri's daughter, Jazzlynn, for her birthday (she'll be 2 tomorrow).
Anyway, that's about all I have to say for now.

Yeah, I lied...
So, I don't have pictures (yet) so I can't do a proper update (yet). I've had a lot of stuff come up this weekend and the last few days that have prevented me from updating properly...including dead batteries in the camera. *sigh* I swear, I will update with pictures and such...

A Proper Update is Coming...I swear!
Okay, I swear a proper update is coming. Really. With pictures and everything. But not right now...right now, I'm heading to class and then I'm going to drive home in the snow...and then tomorrow I'm going to plow out and drive back to Madison in the snow for classes....
But, I promise, before this weekend, a proper update!
