This way I don't have to worry about fit and Allie can use it when she gets older.  I got this idea from a suggestion on another blog. Sorry, I have no idea which blog this was.  I'll try to find it and post later.  I'm in a bit of a time crunch to get it done, seeing the baptism is on Sept. 10th.  So what do I do, follow a simple pattern to make things go faster, noooooooo, I decided to make up my own pattern using the guidelines from Barbara George's Snowdrop Shawl in Knitter's Shawls and Scarves.  One word...CRAAAZY!  I just keep thinking how special it will be for my little goddaughter!!!  And isn't that what's important?  What is the worth of doing something if it means nothing?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a big week!  My amazing Aunt and Uncle drove my Grandma and Grandpa down on Sunday.  (Well really they left IL on Saturday and made a stop in TN to visit an uncle).  DH cooked for us on Sunday and we took Gma out for her birthday on Monday.  Monday was the only full day they spent, but it's not always quanity that matters.  We had a great time.  Took them on a tour of the city, to lunch, then Gma and Aunt went to the mall, while my most excellent uncle put up new shutters on the house.  As if he hadn't done enough driving 4 days to and from IL to bring G &amp; G here.  They left on Tues. morning, which made Tues. a pretty lonely day.  Wed brought more excitement than should be possible.  I had my new TV hung.  This seemly easy task turned out to be difficult for the installers.  Sorry guys!  Apparently, my house has no insulation between the walls and the cement siding.  Don't believe me, Dad didn't think it was possible either, so I took a pictures to prove it!  I feel like I should be on an episode of "This Old House", with issues like this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/1600/P1010013.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/200/P1010013.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/1600/P1010014.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/200/P1010014.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recaping the week has made me a little sleepy, can't imagine why??? Not to mention today has been another exicting day.  I had a &lt;a href="http://www.pamperedchef.biz/aldychef"&gt;Pampered Chef Party&lt;/a&gt;.  We had a fun time, which made me realize how many wonderful people I have met living in Charlotte.

I went to Northbrook on Wed. night to see my sister-in-law and her family.  Her boys are getting so big.  I wish we could see them more often.  We did a lot of catching up, wonderful and long overdue.  We headed downtown Thurs. morning, where I met up with Dad and we were off to the cubby Bear for a pre-game celebration.  It was a perfect day for a baseball game.  It rained all morning, then an hour before the game it stopped, and stayed overcast for the rest of the day.  Friday morning we were off to Naperville to see an Aunt and Uncle.  This was one of those trips that makes me really miss my family!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh the stories I could write about my air travels!  I called ahead to make sure everything was running on time and of course my flight was delayed - 2 hrs, which grew to 3 hrs, then 4.  We decided we would go to dinner then to the airport (let Friday Chicago rush hour traffic die down), until I called to see when the latest I could check in for the delayed flight...the agent advised I should be there for my original flight time (which was only an hour from the time I called) as the 4 hour delay was only approximate and could be moved up at any time.  So, my Uncle, Dad and I jumped in the car and were off to the airport  and arrived 2 hours later.  Traffic was bumper to bumper.  Luckily I had no problems checking in and only had to wait 2 hours at the airport.  I was just thankful the delays were on the tail end of my trip.  Thank goodness for knitting, it makes delays a little more tolerable.  I finished 1 sock while in Chicago and started the other waiting to fly out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10635166-115371473736478743?l=allthingsknitted.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/feeds/115371473736478743/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10635166&amp;postID=115371473736478743' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/115371473736478743'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/115371473736478743'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/2006/07/cubs-wins-cubs-wins.html' title='CUBS WINS, CUBS WINS!!!'/><author><name>Piper</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635166.post-115327947169567736</id><published>2006-07-18T23:15:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-07-23T15:42:01.713-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Excitement leads to more waiting...</title><content type='html'>My appointment today went well.

I should have a time frame of this cycle after tomorrows appointment.  I keep thinking I shouldn't get too excited, but it's an exciting thing!  "Balance" is going to be my new word of the year!   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been trying to keep myself busy while waiting.  &lt;a href="http://www.thepurlfriends.blogspot.com"&gt;Knitting Guild&lt;/a&gt; is consuming time right now as we plan a Knit-In and a Fall Workshop.  My UFO's  got a little side tracked...oh how easy that is to do.  I did finish a pair of socks that had been sitting around for a year, and the hood is now attached to the Greeting from Knit Cafe Cardigan (which is on display at Charlotte Yarn).  The sleeves turned out not to be as bad as I thought.  It's amazing how projects seem easier when you take a break from them.  I am trying to finish the Noro Ripsa sweater from last November :(  I now have the front and back done and decided to do the sleeves from the shoulder down.  I have a good start on a 3/4 length sleeve, but don't think that would suit this sweater at all!  So, I'll keep knitting away, in between the NEW project I started.  I just couldn't help myself.  A student/friend of mine just finished the Lily Chin Reversible Cable Afghan and it was gorgous...I had to start on for myself.  I wanted to use the yarn it called for and another LYS had it at 40% off. I ask you...How could I pass that up?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My camera battery is dead and I just found the charger, so I don't have any pictures to post.  Maybe this weekend.  Wednesday I leave for Chicago.  I'm so excited to go see my favorite Cubbies play.  Dad and I are going with tickets that Gizmo Dog gave him.  Dad took care of the dogs while we were in Italy and Gizmo was not on his best behavior for his grandpa.  (Long, not so pleasent story involving cleaning carpet and trips to the Vet!)  Dad definately deserves these tickets and more!  I also will get to see my sister-in-law and nephews!  Don't know that I'll get any yarn shop stops in on this trip, but I'll let you know when I return.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10635166-115318993907950373?l=allthingsknitted.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/feeds/115318993907950373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10635166&amp;postID=115318993907950373' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/115318993907950373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/115318993907950373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/2006/07/day-3.html' title='Day 3'/><author><name>Piper</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635166.post-115093735095494812</id><published>2006-06-21T20:38:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T15:48:24.542-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I have some caughting up to do...</title><content type='html'>Since my last post, I've been going non-stop.

This was the 1st year in 10 or more that I haven't done the Race for the Cure with my mom :(&lt;br /&gt;     June could not have been busier or more fun.  It started out at Camp Stitches in Lake Junaluska (more about that to follow). The next weekend was Shannon's wedding, then DH and I spent a long weekend in the Isle of Palms, SC for our 7th Anniversary.  We saw our favorite band Cowboy Mouth 3 times!  What a blast and as usual it was high energy.  Can't wait to see them this weekend in Charlotte!  Tomorrow with wrap up my month with Mom and Grandma coming to visit.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knitted quite a bit through all that, but currently knitting is going slow.  I am working on the Slouchy Cardigan from the new book "Greetings from Knit Cafe" using Blue Sky Alpaca Sport.  I start this sweater on the way to my Camp Stitches.  What a great experience that was.  It was the 1st of many Stitches Events to come!  I took a Fair Isle class with one of my favorites, Candace Eisner Strick.  I learned a ton about color choices and I did my first steek!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jPpOlYsa5tA/Rp7eoxnHqFI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/fpcXcEB22go/s1600-h/P1000837.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jPpOlYsa5tA/Rp7eoxnHqFI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/fpcXcEB22go/s320/P1000837.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088749421068789842" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finished the Reid sweater from Knitty!  Once I have a picture of Allie in it, I'll post it.  On the way to Italy I knitted my new nephew, Michael a pair of "Picky Pants" from Little Turtle Knits.  I also had a pair of socks going while in Italy.  Those are finished and displayed in the store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/1600/P1000809.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/320/P1000809.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, I purchased some yarn in Italy.  I had to be a little conservative, DH was monitoring suitcase space.  My 1st purchase was from 'la pecora nera' in Treviso. I bought 2 balls of Sesia Naif and 1 Ball became this cute pair of soakers for Allie. Sesia seemed to be the only brand  in the Italian stores I hadn't seen or couldn't get here. They had a lot of the Laines du Nord and Filatura di Crosa. Although I didn't compare prices, the Sesia seemed to be very reasonable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/1600/P1000803.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/320/P1000803.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On my way to Peoria, I started the Color on Color Scarf from Scarf Style.  It went really fast at the beginning.  I think I am on section 15.  I became distracted by my new book Knit Cafe that I have abandoned all other projects...  My quest this coming month is to finish up all those UFO's that are starring at me from the corner, as if to say "Knit me...Knit me...Don't forget about me..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and did I mention I taking a sewing class. I need another hobby like a hole in the head, but I am so exicted about it.   I just completed my 1st purse last night.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/1600/P1000930.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/320/P1000930.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look for more sewing to come...Maybe even some incorporated into some knitting...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10635166-115093735095494812?l=allthingsknitted.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/feeds/115093735095494812/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10635166&amp;postID=115093735095494812' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/115093735095494812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/115093735095494812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/2006/06/i-have-some-caughting-up-to-do.html' title='I have some caughting up to do...'/><author><name>Piper</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jPpOlYsa5tA/Rp7eoxnHqFI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/fpcXcEB22go/s72-c/P1000837.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635166.post-114472694644739495</id><published>2006-04-10T23:31:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-04-11T06:45:23.043-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Spring Knitty!</title><content type='html'>Reid is so adorable from the Spring Knitty.com.

After being out of town 3 out of 4 weekends this month, I'm so glad to spend some time at home.  I did get some quality knitting time in thought.  I finished the baby shower gift (in the nick of time - right before the shower started!), which was Debbie Bliss's ABC Blanket from The Baby Knits Book.  (I'm hoping for a picture of baby Gavin with the blanket after he arrives- hint, hint Gma Millen)  I knitted it in DB Wool/Cotton, which was wonderful.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also finished 2 Lucy Bags, one out of Galway and the other out of Silk Garden DK.  I haven't quite perfected this bag yet, but maybe the 3rd time will be the charm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am finally finishing the sweater sample for the store.  It's out of Classic Elite Star.  I didn't like working with it at first.  The lycra in it is so stretchy, but once I stop paying attention to that, it went much more smoothly.  It has definitely grown on me and I would knit with it again. It seemed to go really fast after I knitted about 8-9".  The pattern is Yarn Cocktails "Hurricane" and is pretty easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/1600/Picture%201048.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/320/Picture%201048.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once I finish this sweater (Hopefully tomorrow), I'm going to finish up my mom's socks.  I'm knitting the foot, so it shouldn't be too much longer.  I just bought a new sock yarn today - Can't wait to get started on those soon!  I always love starting a new pair of socks!!  After that, I'm not sure what I'll be working on...Maybe the cute pink skirt in the new Vouge Knitting...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10635166-114360600387836854?l=allthingsknitted.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/feeds/114360600387836854/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10635166&amp;postID=114360600387836854' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/114360600387836854'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/114360600387836854'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/2006/03/traveling-knitter.html' title='Traveling Knitter...'/><author><name>Piper</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635166.post-114114047384206923</id><published>2006-02-28T10:05:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-07-22T15:46:25.710-04:00</updated><title type='text'>End of an Era</title><content type='html'>I just got back from Peoria.  After 22 years, Mom closed her clothing store this weekend.  I'm so happy for her.  I'm torn though...I will be getting more visits from her, but I will desperately miss shopping at her store.  My husband will miss me shopping at her store too! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am almost finished with the "surprise" baby gift.  I was hoping to have it finished when I went home, but knitting on small, metal needles slowed my hands down a little bit.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other projects I put on needles recently are the "Lucy Purse" from Two Old Bags.  It has been a nice break from the "surprise".  I did knit a Felted Carpet Bag from Noni Patterns.  It's on display at CY, so I'll have to get a picture and post it.  It turned out really cute.  I'm really behind on my picture taking.  Not sure I'll be getting to that soon.  DH and I are going to see Cowboy Mouth on Friday night!  Yippy!  Unfortuanetly, we won't be having Paul and John over this time, because we will be leaving bright and early Sat morning for vacation.  We are going to a spa in Mexico.  Of course, I'll be taking some knitting for the flight there and back.  I'm going to try and refrain from taking too many projects, knowing I'll be worshiping the sun most of the time (with sunscreen!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did take a quick picture of what I did with the leftovers from "Mitten Mania".  I made Elizabeth Zimmerman's Baby Surprise Jacket, something I've been wanting to do since The Opinonated Knitter came out.  I also made computer cover from Alterknits and still have yarn left!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/1600/DSC03036.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:center; margin:1 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/320/DSC03036.jpg" border="1" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/1600/DSC03037.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/320/DSC03037.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10635166-114114047384206923?l=allthingsknitted.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/feeds/114114047384206923/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10635166&amp;postID=114114047384206923' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/114114047384206923'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/114114047384206923'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/2006/02/end-of-era.html' title='End of an Era'/><author><name>Piper</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635166.post-113978577465242254</id><published>2006-02-12T17:52:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-02-12T18:10:40.900-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Snowless Day</title><content type='html'>I was so excited to see a few flurries.

But I will tell you I have had many compliments and it's only half done.  The only thing I wish I would have done different was start the project on a bamboo needle.  I only had the proper size in metal and couldn't wait to get started.  The shower is March 11th and we only found out early in Feb.  So besides my usual urge to get started on a new project, I'm in a time crunch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also started a project for the store.  I'm knitting the Hurricane sweater from Yarn Cocktails with Classic Elite Star.  If anyone has experience knitting with this yarn, please help!  I've never knitted with lycra yarn and it is stretchy.  My question is do you knit it trying not to stretch it or do you try and stretch it a little??????  If I don't stretch it, it seems like I'm going to run out of yarn too soon.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10635166-113978577465242254?l=allthingsknitted.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/feeds/113978577465242254/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10635166&amp;postID=113978577465242254' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/113978577465242254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/113978577465242254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/2006/02/snowless-day.html' title='Snowless Day'/><author><name>Piper</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635166.post-113867986171299518</id><published>2006-01-30T22:43:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-01-30T23:00:27.590-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Bobcats Lose :(</title><content type='html'>We are now in "Bobcat Mania"  My time for the next 2 1/2 weeks will be consumed by Bobcat games every other night.  Hopefully we will see some wins in there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't believe how fast time is flying, it is Jan. 31st already and I haven't posted since Jan. 6th.  I have been knitting...I finished an Elizabeth Zimmerman Baby Surprise Jacket.  I was determined to use up the left over yarn from the felted mittens.  After the Baby Surprise Jacket I still had some left, so I made the laptop cover from Alterknits (Great book by the way!)  I finished the Mukluks while I was in IL.  Mom loves them.  She wants to show them off to everyone.  What a great feeling to have your mother so proud of you.  So the next project I have started for her is socks.  I am having a bit of ADD thought.  I can't seem to stick with one project.  I have a baby blanket started (for myself-hopefully the 4th IUI with work!).  It's a pattern from Vogue Knitting's Shawls and Scarves.  I have been wanting to do a big lace project.  I was just listening to the podcast &lt;a href="http://www.cast-on.com"&gt;Cast On&lt;/a&gt; today and she was talking about the same book.  She is doing a huge lace project out of it too.  She calls it "knitting in purgatory".   I could relate a little.  I want to start a felted purse pattern that I picked up at the store (Charlotte Yarn) and a scarf for my mom.

After a few delays, Aunt Linda, Traci and I made it.  We really missed having Audra there.  Even so, it didn't  deterred us from shopping. We've hit the usuals, Ann Taylor (wow, did they love us that day!), Eddie Bauer, Lord &amp; Taylor, Bloomingdales, Victoria Secret and Marshall Fields.  We said our sad goodbye to Marshall Fields, as this was their last Christmas.  Next year it will be Macy's.  Our Annual Cheesecake Factory dinner was yummy.  The Rob Thomas look-a-like waiter was awesome. And of course we had a few giggles along the way...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traci has progressed with her annual knitting.  We visited We'll Keep You in Stitch to start our first day out.  Traci picked up a ball of Blizzard for half off.  I taught her to knit a hat in the round when we returned from shopping around 7p.  She finished at 3am...She jsut couldn't put the needles down!  Those words are sound  familiar to anyone?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Audra had her baby on December 22.  I'm proud to say my Aunt Linda found true comfort in knitting for the first time while waiting for her 1st grandchild to be born.  Allie was pretty stubborn during her arrival.  Aunt Linda's knitting is especially meaninful because she was using the yarn she bought on our Chicago weekend.&lt;br /&gt;It was sad not to see Allie and her parents over Christmas, but we are so thankful that she is happy and healthy!  I am extremely honored that she has already been sporting the hat her "Aunt Piper" made her.  It was supposed to be a pair of socks made from Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino for her mom, but I gave up on the short row heel.  Sorry Audra...you have a pair of socks coming soon!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/70977668@N00/82833504/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/43/82833504_d198548a77_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/70977668@N00/82833504/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After my weekend in Chicago I had a short 3 days at home before Chris and I drove to Peoria on Thurs.  I don't find the 13 hrs car ride that bad...hours of guilt free knitting.  Our trip "home" consisted of 5 Christmas', a trip to Chicago and The Quad Cities.  It was a whirlwind trip, something I wouldn't miss for the world.  I so miss being around family. My nieces loved their mittens and my nephew looks too cute in his hat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/1600/DSC02931.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/200/DSC02931.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/1600/DSC02908.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/200/DSC02908.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was an extra special Christmas for me.  One of my grandmothers gave me her White Sewing Machine which is built into a wood cabinet, that she purchased the year I was born.  The day I got back I took it to get a tune up and can't wait to use it.  I've never done much sewing, but am so excited to have such a special machine.  Hopefully this will inspire me to take up another hobby (like I need one...)&lt;br /&gt;   We drove back to Charlotte on the 29th...had to be home for the &lt;a href="http://www.nba.com/bobcats"&gt;Bobcats&lt;/a&gt; Game on Friday (lost to the Suns, at least it was a good game!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We rang in the New Year with Shannon and Brian. We felt honored that Brian would spend his first New Year's Eve off in 7 years with us.  We had Shannon's Yummy fondue, steaks, Chris' zucchini cassarole and an assortment of Dean and Deluca's desserts!  We almost missed the ball dropping we were having so much fun playing Scattagories and "Gin 13".  "Gin 13", a game I've been playing since childhood and can't seem to win!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now it's time to get back in the groove of things.  I have started knitting the Backyard Leaves from Scarf Style.  If you enjoy reading graphs, you'll enjoy this one.  I am also doing a sample for the store in Louisa Hardings-Impressions (one of my favorites)  I chose the English Lace pattern from a sweater in the Loop-d-Loop book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/1600/DSC02950.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/200/DSC02950.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10635166-113652646968549596?l=allthingsknitted.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/feeds/113652646968549596/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10635166&amp;postID=113652646968549596' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/113652646968549596'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/113652646968549596'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/2006/01/christmas-season.html' title='The Christmas Season...'/><author><name>Piper</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635166.post-113457160376870419</id><published>2005-12-14T09:40:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-12-14T10:12:39.756-05:00</updated><title type='text'>11 days until Christmas</title><content type='html'>I finished another Christmas present yesterday.  I think I'm in denial about how much time I have to finish the rest of my knitted gifts, hence the title of today's blog.  Ahhh...11 more days!  The most recent finished gift was my 1st &lt;a href="http://www.knitwhits.com"&gt;KnitWhits&lt;/a&gt; hat.  It turned out really cute and I can't believe it knitted up so fast.  Especially since it was the Sydney hat which is stripes.  I swore the last time I knitted stripes I wouldn't be doing that again for a long time.  It helped that I knit the smallest size, in the round and did a 3 needle bind off at the top (no sewing!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm hoping to get in the Christmas mood this weekend while I'm in Chicago.  My annual trip with Aunt Linda (aka "Grandma"), Audra and Traci is going to be a much different this year.  Audra is anxiously awaiting her &lt;a href="http://static.flickr.com/34/73508547_c9e7b609d3_m.jpg"&gt; little girl &lt;/a&gt; to enter the world.  We thought Allie would be here last weekend, but she's just not ready.  So, if she comes this weekend we'll not only miss Audra, but Aunt Linda too!  Grandma will have to be there to welcome the little one.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10635166-113457160376870419?l=allthingsknitted.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/feeds/113457160376870419/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10635166&amp;postID=113457160376870419' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/113457160376870419'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/113457160376870419'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/2005/12/11-days-until-christmas.html' title='11 days until Christmas'/><author><name>Piper</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635166.post-113419093526325210</id><published>2005-12-09T23:56:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-12-10T00:02:15.276-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Mowat Mukluks</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/1600/DSC02800.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/320/DSC02800.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just finished my 1st Mukluk.

I love making the stocking cap from Hip to Knit, but even getting a little worn out on that.  Made the Floral Hat from Louisa Hardings new Accessories book.  I love it and can't wait to make another one (for myself-after Christmas)!  Her flowers are too cute and easy.  I'm excited to make the Ribbed Hat from the same book.

I've done the Flap-top mittens and working on the Log Cabin Socks.  The color I chose was too dark to see the pattern really good.  I'm hoping that when they are worn the pattern will look better.  I used Cascade Pastaza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/1600/DSC02777.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/200/DSC02777.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm also working on Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton's Ripsa from Book #1.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/1600/DSC02776.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2037/831/200/DSC02776.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just got Special Knits (Debbie Bliss) in the mail on Thurs.-can't wait to start knitting out of it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10635166-113251056016440644?l=allthingsknitted.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/feeds/113251056016440644/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10635166&amp;postID=113251056016440644' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/113251056016440644'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10635166/posts/default/113251056016440644'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allthingsknitted.blogspot.com/2005/11/mitten-mania.html' title='Mitten Mania'/><author><name>Piper</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635166.post-113244538349661996</id><published>2005-11-19T19:08:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-11-19T22:31:05.036-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Summer/Fall Projects</title><content type='html'>I've been knitting up a storm and haven't had time to post any of the finished projects.
