...welcome welcome welcome....

It's official the sorting hat on the HPKCHC has placed me in the house of Slytherin!!

For the next three months I will be participating is the Knitting House Cup over on Ravelry
"Students" will have one month to complete and compete in a variety of knitting challenges.
Time for me to go stock up on some new Green and Silver Yarns!!!

...its been awhile....

I "stole" this from a new blogger friends page (Missie Zee's)

Making : a watchman's cap for my roommate
Cooking : nothing
Drinking : water
Reading: Charmed Knits
Wanting: Rowan KidSilk Haze in jelly to make an invisibility shawl
Looking: for a new opportunity to excel
Playing: in the House Cup
Wasting: time on blogger
Sewing: not my forte
Wishing: I knew when EJ will be born
Enjoying: a lazy morning
Waiting: for my meds to kick-in
Liking: knitting, and watching TV
Wondering: if my son will love books as much as his father and I
Loving: my husband
Hoping: for tomorrow to be better
Marvelling: in the awesomeness of God (thank you Gina for the reminder)
Needing: to trust in God more
Smelling: apple pie (phantom since no one has baked me one)
Wearing: jammies
Following: more blogs then I can keep up with
Noticing: the cat chasing a butterfly in the backyard
Knowing: this too shall pass
Thinking: about my family
Feeling: a bit better
Bookmarking: knitting patterns
Opening: a can of worms
Giggling: not really my style
Feeling: happy to know my son is healthy...though I wish he was not getting bigger daily...

Post #100...well isn't that monumental!!!!
today not too much to share, just wanted to show you the yummy bread we made.
Zucchini Cheddar Bread....

Thank you to the Barefoot Rooster for the recipe
that she so generously emailed me yesterday!

...we got gauge...

it took 4 four attempts but finally gauge was achieved
...and I am ready for cast on...

this is by far my most ambitious project,
something to wear, that also includes following a pattern, and new stitch techniques

as of last night I was onto the 3rd direction...
here is where TULIP is at now...
