I got a Job (almost)!

I'm sure you all have noticed that I made my blog private (I have decided to reopen my blog as of 10/29/13).  I made that decision because I was in the process of getting job (which I have now gotten).  I have been stitching and knitting a little bit.

I started Paulette's 1837 Crown Sampler using Katrina's conversion a few weeks ago.

And I have been slowly working on August Word Play (we'll see if I can finish before October).

I have also been knitting dishcloths and socks.  Only the socks haven't quite been working out.  I have been mainly ripping.  I did finish one, but it was a little tight.

In other news... I found a knitting and stitching group near me.  It has been so nice to meet up with people nearby!  Well, hopefully, it won't take me so long to update again (I've been saying that a lot lately).

  6. I am so happy for you Nicole and your job sounds really interesting too. You will do well in it I am sure. Your stitching is so pretty as is your knitting. I have not knitted since high school but the yarns are so pretty now and your bright colors inspire me. I love your cross stitch projects and love the new Plum Street Sampler designs now too. I love WTNT designs and love this word play. I have some of them and want to do some eventually. I am still plugging away on Elizabeth Sheffield.:)

  15. Congratulations on your new job! Your stitching is beautiful as always! Love the colour conversion on the crown sampler. Each time I see the knitted dishclothes I think of my favourite aunt - she is 89 and is still able to knit them.
