Diva's Don't Knit


By Gil McNeil

I started the first book in a new Knitting Series yesterday, and so far I am loving it :).. Diva's Don't Knit, It is a funny relaxing book to read, I also bought the 2nd book in the series that just came out this month...Needles and Pearls...
Anybody else read knitting or craft related novels, or mysteries? I read a lot of knitting mysteries, I love them, I guess that comes from loving Nancy Drew mysteries as a pre-teen LOL!

Been working on those Socks....

today I pulled out the socks and started working on them again, I really do wabt to get them finished. I am not sure if both socks will even match, being my first attempt at knitting socks, but I don'y care I will keep them for myself ....I don't plan on giving my first pair of socks away :) They are for me :)

Do you knit for yourself or.....

do you give your knitted items away as gifts?
I personally find that I hardly ever knit for myself, I usually knit things for the children I look after(I work as a Nanny) My hubby and son never seem to wear anything I ave knitted for them so I don't knit for them any more. I do knit for my friends also I
and I love it if I see them out and about wearing things I have made for them :) I do knit dishcloths for myself and scarves but that is about it, most of what I knit is given away or sold at craft fairs.

I still haven't finished those socks!

I am hoping that once we are moved and settled in I will get them finished. I have decided to take a part time job for now instead of working full time as this past year or so has been very stressful with my son(He is 19 years old) so I feel I need to be home more but I don't want too not be working. I hope working part time will be enough and at least then I can maybe get back into my crafts more and my reading.

We finally found a new house to rent

So next weekend we move, after living in the same Town House for 13 years this move is going to be a HUGE one! I already have 6 large containers of just my craft/yarn supplies LOL! My husband is freaking out! Of course it is the first thing I organized and packed! :)

Life goes on.....

I haven't been online much the last few weeks, we had our rent review and our rent is nearly doubled as of June 1st so we are now looking to move we are thinking of moving off the North Shore but finding a place that allows a little dog is proving to be very difficult.

I love when I get the house all too myself, I usually watch movies that my hubby and son are not into like the Harry Potter Movies or girly type movies :) In fact my hubby is sick with the flu so he has been in bed all day and my son was out until 3.30AM as it was his 19th b-day yesterday so he has slept all day on the couch, so I have been sitting knitting and watching all the Harry Potter Movies, it has been a rather relaxing day :)
