Proof that I'm still knitting.

This is my Cinnabar Pullover. I have almost attached one sleeve, but I still need to do the seaming on the actual sleeve and that side. Then I need to knit the other sleeve. My knitting time has been dramatically interrupted due to school. I took my master's comprehensive exam last Friday. I'm glad it's over, but I'll still be mostly working on school until May 10th.

I also purchased from yarn from Webs. I got 9 skeins of Queensland Cotolino to knit the Holly Jacket from Interweave Knits Spring 2008. I am really excited to cast on for this!

Most of the knitting I've been able to do lately is on my Monkey Socks. I am almost ready to turn the heel on the second sock. No second sock syndrom here. :) Sorry, no picture though.

"Wherever you go and whatever you do, May the luck of the Irish be there with you”

I hope you're wearing green today! If not, you might get pintched!

Sorry, but I have no pictures today, and I just realized that I haven't posted in a while. School and work is keeping me really busy! I am almost done with graduate school, so being busy is expected.

On the knitting front, I CO for the second monkey sock! No second sock syndrom here! :) AND, drum roll please, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO close to being finished with my sweater. I didn't want to say it out loud, but I really wanted to wear it today, since it's green, but that didn't happen. :( All I have left are the sleeves.

And, because I'm Irish, a few Irish blessings and prayers.

"The Irish ignore anything they can't drink or punch.”

"May you always walk in sunshine. May you never want for more. May Irish angels rest their wings right beside your door.”

A Wish for a Friend
Wishing you a rainbowFor sunlight after showers—Miles and miles of Irish smilesFor golden happy hours—Shamrocks at your doorwayFor luck and laughter too,And a host of friends that never endsEach day your whole life through!

An Irish Prayer
May God give you...For every storm, a rainbow,For every tear, a smile,For every care, a promise,And a blessing in each trial.For every problem life sends,A faithful friend to share,For every sigh, a sweet song,And an answer for each prayer.

And, my personal favorite:

"Do not be afraid to trust and Unknown future to a Known God."

Eye Candy Friday

I was looking for a pair of buttons to go on Mr. Gabu for eyes I thought I'd brighten up the day. I love color, and colorful buttons make me smile. These are randomly collected buttons that my mom gave me. Enjoy, and have a good weekend.

Mr. Gabu is done, but still doesn't have any eyes.

Amigurumi is fun!

My first crochet project!! How cool?! I found this pattern on http://www.roxycraft.com/.

The name of it is called "The Gabu". It looks like a little alien.

I am using left over yarn from a tank I made last spring. It is Shine Worsted from Knit Picks.

I need to read a little bit before going to the gym, but I'll post some more pictures soon.

P.S. I finished the front panel of my Cinnabar Pullover yesterday. I'm getting so excited to finish it and wear it. I need to knit the plackets and sleeves.
