It Came, It came!!!!

MY RAVELRY INVITE HAS ARRIVED!!!!!! WOOHOO

*deep breath* Ok, I am ok now. Just got a little excited there. Really though, I am so excited that it is finally here!! Over 2 months of pure agony just waiting and checking. Waiting and Checking. I am working on getting it all set up, then it is off to the races!! WOOHOO.
For those of you who are still waiting or havent signed up, it is SOOOO worth the wait!




PS: I know that it has been awhile since I blogged. There have been some medical issues that I have been trying to figure out. I am still in the testing and "try this" stage. But as soon as I get a chance, I will bring you all up to speed!! XO's to all! Keep knittin Peeps.

My glasses are here!!

And I love'em! They are so pretty and even better, they make my eyes feel 10 times better!!! I can actually get through more than 1 row without my eyes screaming in pain. Now I can get back to the fibers that keep pileing up in my basket!! Till next time peeps, mmmwah!

Sock U. pics

Here is a pic of my soon to be aunt knitting for the first time on DPN's and socks. She is having a great time learning the art and is making awesome progress. I just talked to her and she is finishing the heal flap!! More progress pics to come.

Does this mean I am getting old?

I have been having lots of eye strain issues while knitting here in the last couple of months. So I broke down and went to the Eye Doctor last week. After lots of testing and time looking at that HUGE "E", Dr. says I need BIFOCALS!! What? I am only 24, I dont know many 24 yr olds with bifocals. My vision is great dont get me wrong, its just with all of the teeny tiny needles and yarn my eyes are freaking out. My hubby has been giving me serious BS about this. I started knitting and he tells me I am old, and now that I have to get these specs I am granny! WTF? I guess I cant complain too much though. I adore my needle time and with my eyes hurtin like blazes, I guess its time to suck it up and just do it! I will post pics of them as soon as I can. They should be done this week. I sure hope so, my new CTH yarn is calling nay yelling at me. Till next time peeps.

Sock Knitting 101

I am opening my basic sock knitting course to the public(Well, my friends and family) next week. I am so excited to teach someone the art that is sockies. I may not be a pro but My mom and my husbands Aunt have been looking longingly at my sock efforts and so I decided to put on my professor cap and get to learnin! Wish me luck. I will post progress pics as they come available. Till next time peeps, keep on knittin!! mmmmmwah

My Loot has Arrived!!!!!

And its all awesome!! My lovely SP is Sara. She really spoiled me! I got two balls of Sockotta yarn(First time seeing it in person!!!), My felted bag(purple, grey, and green!)Lots of candy including my fave Sour Patch Kids, A great family sock pattern(sizes for the whole family), a sock blocker keychain, a set of clover dpns, and last but certainly not least, a sock notebook from The Loopy Ewe!! I really feel special to have gotten such a great sp. The candy is almost all gone, the bag and the book are already in use, and as soon as the socks I am working on are off the needles, the Sockotta is going right on!! Thanks again Sara! I really hope that this is the start of a great friendship. More to come peeps. Keep Knitting, Tasha :o)

Playing catch-up!

Where to start. Soo much has happened since the last time I really blogged. Both knit and family related. Humm, ok well my daughter gave herself a black eye while playing in her bathroom. She really did a number on it. Her eye is looking better now though.

I have been knitting like crazy. Getting my sp's bag done, finishing my best friends sockies for her birthday. I have also been buying knitting stuff like crazy too. While shopping for my sp, I find things that I like grab them too! I think that is how it always works!! Swaps are so much fun, they feel like x-mas!! I really hope that my pal like all her stuff. Speaking of knitting, I recently lead a friend to the dark side!! WOOHOO She is working on her first scarf. I figured that would be the easiest thing to start with. She is doing really well. It is almost done and I will teach her how to bind-off. Maybe some pics of her knitting later. OH I have to tell you!! I was knitting outside at my moms house and the kids were all nakie playing in the water. Well my nephew who is 1 1/2, was standing by me taking a drink. He was awful quiet so I looked down at him and he was peeing into my knitting bag!! I was so mad, I scared him and he ran off. Good thing all of my stuff was either out of the bag or in plastic baggies. So after a good spraying with lysol and a long airing out, my bag had recovered! Note: No knitting tools or Yarn were harmed in this matter!!

More on my kids now. My daughter thinks that hair cutting is a sport. She has cut her hair and my sons hair TWICE in two weeks. We had to finally buzz my sons hair because his sister cut it to the scalp in 5 places! Nice huh. Kinzy is also playing T-Ball again this year. She is really doing well. I would hope so after playing the last 2 years. She played catcher last night and stopped every ball thrown to her. Her batting needs a little work but other than that she is doing great! Ty has graduated to a big bike with training wheels!! He thinks he is so big now that he can keep up with his sister. We have crashed a few times, but no major boo-boos.

Well, I think I have updated all I can update for now. More hijinks to come I am sure! Keep knitting peeps! Tasha :o)
