slacker!

Yes, I've been a giant slacker. I guess sometimes life just gets in the way! I have also been slacking on the knitting that I want to complete, but here's a quick list of things I actually have done~

1. Broke a pair of interchangable needles that were passed down for my grandmother. They were really old, but very cool. I also dropped about 50 stitches from the slowly growing afghan in the process. I was not happy. I cursed as I picked up every stitch. My husband tried not to giggle.

2. Ordered replacement needles. Not as sentimental, but they knit.

3. Found a really cook dpn holder at www.knitzi.com and bought it. I can't wait for it to get here.

4. Oh, knitting? I did some. I've added to the afghan, not tons.

5. Finished one sock mentioned in the other blog. It was nice and easy, plus it fits. Haven't casted on for sock two.

6. Made really cool swiffer covers (2 apiece) for my sister and MIL. They were both thrilled.

7. Made some ball band dish cloths for my mom. She hasn't seen them yet, but I assume she'll also be thrilled.

8. Bought a pattern and really great yarn to make a teddy bear for my best friend's son's first birthday. Can't wait to knit it... Maybe I should work on the afghan and other sock first though???
