I am so sorry I haven’t been around. With the weather monkeying up my work schedule I just haven’t had time to sit down and write anything. And to be honest by the time I got home I didn’t want to touch a computer lol.

In regards to my last post, for now I am going to continue as I have so far. If it becomes an issue at work I will deal with it then. Not sure what I would do, things are different when you work in a family business. I mean if I sued my father in law over religious discrimination, it would make for bad ju ju with the family. But I don’t see that kind of situation coming up so I am not worried about that. I think it just hurt to think that someone might suddenly change their opinion of me based upon a bumper sticker. Only thing I can do is remain professional, I am not about to try real hard to win someone over.

Moving on to other events, the weather prevented me from enjoying my weekend at Knit Inn 2010. That was frustrating because I REALLY was looking forward to the classes I had signed up for. On the upside I was able to get down there yesterday for the last class, a designing shawls class. I am a visual learner and unfortunatley this was not a hands on class. BUT, I did learn quite a few things. So I am currently designing a basic shawl just to get started. I have several ideas floating around in the head and will eventually get to work on those. I want to get the hang of the basics first. I am still trying to work down my stash and getting there somewhat. When I design the next shawl then I will buy more yarn. Or maybe when I get cracking on one of my projects in my queue in Ravelry.  Whichever I get to first lol.

That’s about it around here. Just doing what I got to do to keep up with work deadlins and keeping kids fed. Ya know, the boring stuff lol.

So this week I got another cowl made up. This one is getting mailed out tomorrow with the two scarves I finished last week.

After that I got back to busting the stash with the scrap blanket project.

Now if you have no idea what I just said, a stash is the yarn stash that a knitter/crocheter has. And a stash buster is a project that takes the odds and ends of leftover yarn that isn’t large enough to make one single project from. Once I get enough triangles knitted up I will start sewing them together and I think I will be giving it to a friend of mines’ daughter. Depends on how it looks when I get done with it, ugly and I will just use it here at the house. Gorgeous and I send it off so they can show off my mad skills.

Amidst stash busting I did find a skein of boucle yarn. I decided it was enough to make a scarf. Probably not enough for me so I will give it to one of the girls. Boucle isn’t that fun to knit with but it makes for a very soft scarf so it’s not too rough on the hands. I was checking over my queue at Ravelry in hopes that I was done with scarves but I am not. I have one from Twilight that I need to make for Molly (aka the twilight freak of the house) and then I have another one for the hubs. He has been begging for one for awhile now so I guess I could be nice and make him one.

That’s it for now, what are you making?
