So, um...hi?

I've been quiet as of late. It's not that I don't have anything to post about but things have gotten hectic around here lately.

Husband is having surgery next week, pending that his gallbladder doesn't freak out too much before then. We don't know if they're going to do the deal with the little tube thing or if they're going to have to open him up and do it that way. What we do know is that he has a gallstone the size of a golf ball. He's in immense pain and crabby. I don't blame him.

Because of this, it means I really don't get a break from Little Man. And he's going through a growth spurt again..and he's got four (yes, that's 4) teeth coming in right now...putting the total to six teeth. He's biting and chewing everything. He's also discovered that he can roll all over the room so I can't just lay him down on the floor to go make him a bottle. I have to actually put him somewhere like his swing or the playpen. He's also started hitching his legs up under him and pushing up on his arms. Silly boy can't even sit up that well and he's already trying to crawl. *sigh* I'm not ready for a crawler yet!

On the knitting front, I'm still working on giraffe for Little Man. I have the head and body done (but not stitched together) and I finished the first leg last night. The legs really don't take me that long but I have to pay attention so I don't make them too long. I'm also working on my Skyp socks. I've finished the heel flap and turning the heel on the first sock...finally. I think I have other things going on, too but I'm brainfarting.

I'm participating in (or have recently participated in) several swaps. The most recent I've participated in was the Teacher swap. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting on my package...the person who had me sent me an e-mail that said she did send it and it should be here soon. That was ten days ago...and no package. She was also the person I had (it was a blind swap so you may not have had the person who had you)...and I don't know if she got her package either. I haven't heard anything from her and I've e-mailed her twice. Hrm.

The next swaps coming up are the Organized Knitting swap and the Doctor Who swap. I think they're both supposed to go out in August...I'll have to check. I think that's all I've got going on...I think I'll have to check that, too.

Anyway, my hum-drum life is calling me (laundry - how I hate thee!).

Oh, and before I forget......I have some new spinning (almost) done. I just have to wash the hank and let it dry. I should take pictures. Oh, and I need to finish plying the rest of it. It just wouldn't fit on one bobbin. *sigh* Such is my life...

WIP Wednesday...and other things (again) :)

It's Wednesday...again. And in the knitting world, it means WIP Wednesday.

Unfortunately, I cannot share pictures yet. I'm working on another hat for the Brown Bag Exchange for the Madison Knitters' Guild. I have a baby sweater and one hat done...and I still have yarn so I'm going to try to make another hat out of the yarn I have left. I have about a week and a half to finish this hat. I think I can do it...if I can just find time to work on it. I still have to block the sweater and other hat and attach the buttons to the sweater. As soon as I can, I'll post pictures :)

Other than that, it's just the usual things that aren't finished...and I still haven't decided about my Icarus Shawl.

Anyway, once the Brown Bag Exchange is finished, I plan to put up the directions for one of the hats. It's one of those hats with the long tails on it and I basically made it up as I went along. So, that means I can publish the pattern :)

What else, what else...oh, I got my swap package the other day. I haven't photographed the goods yet but that may be a plan for today.

I think that's about all that's going on in my little branch of the world today...maybe I'll have more later this week :)
