Well I have a ton of updates!  I canNOT believe it has been almost a month I am SO bad. 

Bad BAD Stacy!

Well actually I have been lurking around and a bit under the weather.  I got struck with mastitis again suddenly (read: went from fine to 103 temp in about an hour) and had to go on IV one afternoon and doc ordered me to be a "lady of leisure"  aww shucks TWIST MY ARM will ya   Well I got a ton of beading done over that time and quite a bit of knitting.  I am on my last sleeve of the cardigan/lace edge jacket below.  I probably will be done after tomorrow, but honestly the sleeves are scaring me.  They seem to have these four rows at the top and I just have no idea how they are going to fit/seem up.  Also I have a new rule - ALL SLEEVES AND FRONTS basically anything that is supposed to match MUST BE DONE AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!  I cannot remember what I ate for breakfast much less remember all the rows/repeats, increase, decrease yada yayayaya  so next time instead of spending a gazillion hours checking and rechecking I am going to do them together! 

Always learning.

Well I am making up a 101 things about me so stay tuned.

Also - I have a blog for stacyzdesigns on blogger for a while.  It went deserted when I had lil' r but I am resurrecting it as well. Since I started the knit blog I thought I would do it here (blogdrive) thinking it would be best to have two separate usernames and places, but I am starting to wonder.  I am having issues on loading this and also figuring out how to respond to people...so who knows I may change soon enough. 

Well I have a few more posts I need to work up.  We have family updates with our move.  I also need to take pics tonight/tomorrow so I can show all the WIP.  I also decided to nix the CP lace shrug and just go for Carolina from rowan I am working on the ribbing right now there are a gazillion rows (well just like 150 so not really a gazillion but I am known to over exaggerate everything by at least a million) I am about 1/3 the way thru on that.  I tried out the lace pattern that is on the sleeve.  I think I will practice some more with some scrap yarn just so I can get it down.

Also, in my ever crazy state I am also working on creating a new pattern.  Yes I know I have not been knitting long at all, but I want to try.  We shall see...I am pretty excited and I got the idea in my head...now to get my fingers to make it take shape!
