Hmm…been a while since I’ve written. What’s been happening?
Well, I finished two projects for two precious babies:
A blanket for my cousin’s new baby girl Katherine. It is my first real crochet project – yay!
Booties
for Amanda & Philip’s new baby boy Jack. Jack is still in NICU, so
please say a prayer or two for him and his family if you are the
praying kind!I am hard at work on a scarf…
…that will be a Christmas present
for someone who lives in a cold place, and can appreciate wool like
Texans can’t. I’m using PaintBox yarn and it is beautiful, but I’m at
a part in this skein that was apparently poorly spun and keeps
breaking, which is getting frustrating! This yarn was far too
expensive to be frustrating! I’m also doing a WarmUpAmerica square /
test swatch for Jennie’s scarf. She requested Fisherman’s Rib, but I
want her to see an example before it becomes a whole scarf. I’m also
searching for some perfect handbag patterns for more Xmas presents, and
have found a few good ones. And, I am anxiously awaiting the arrival
of this:
which I ordered with birthday money from Grandad.
School
sucks, as usual. My classes are hard and give too much homework, and I
spend too much time in the computer lab. And yes, I would like some
cheese with my whine, preferably pecorino imported from Pienza.I went to Michelle’s wedding a few weekends ago, which was very nice. I have put all the pix I took on my new PicasaWeb (http://picasaweb.google.com
/ashley.pagnotta – it’s a work in progress so check back frequently!) but here are some of the best ones from my camera and Mrs. P’s:
