Ravelry Wait (Part 3) and Baby Afghan

I'm under 7000 now in waiting for Ravelry!

The baby registry is set up now. We didn't really put in a whole lot of stuff, mostly just necessities. I didn't get the afghan strip done the other night. I ended up needing to make it longer than I thought for length. I should finish it tonight and start the next one. I'll take a photo of it before I block it.

Ravelry Wait (Part 2)

There are now only 7271 people ahead of me on the Ravelry waiting list! And there are more people behind me in the list than ahead of me! Yay for progress.

I've been working so hard on research lately that I haven't had much time for knitting. And I really want to be knitting pretty much all the time to work on my baby afghan for my own baby. :) Today however, I was able to spend a whole hour just knitting. Ahh.... Luxury! I'm going to finish the first strip of my afghan tonight come hell or high water. Then I'll take a photo and post it. :) Life is good.

It's a boy!

The image is a little fuzzy but that's his little face. We also have lots of images from various directions (in 2D and 3D) that show absolutely that this is a boy. We've told the grandparents, now we're going to make up announcements to send to people. He seems very healthy and is VERY active. He was moving a lot during the whole ultrasound. I thought I had been feeling him moving all the time, but it seemed too much, so I was beginning to get a little paranoid. But after the ultrasound, it's proven. He's just an active little scamp. :)

The End of Dogs

The dogs are going to die. I am going to kill them. He got at my stash of yarn. And they played with it. And ripped it to shreds. Yarn was strewn from one end of the living room to the other. In bits. They never, repeat NEVER, go after my yarn. When I'm home. But I'm not home. I'm in California for the summer. And so they go for my yarn. And so they must die.

Stash on the Brain

Okay, I've made a decision about my stash. (My stash may be thousands of miles away, but it's still cluttering up my mind.) I am using it up, even if I have to make a large number of ugly scarves that I can give as gifts. Big Needles, here I come! I thought about selling some of it, but I bought this stuff with hopes of finished projects, and darn it I want some finished projects. (Where's my fairy godmother?) After that, I will only buy yarn for specific projects. I can have 100 projects going at once, right?

Non-update

Okay, I'm a slacker. At knitting. I've been working instead of knitting. I know, what was I thinking? Obviously my priorities are totally messed up. I promise I will get some professional help.

On the bright side... Ravelry says there are only 7878 people ahead of me! That was a big jump in just a day. I wonder if things are becoming streamlined now. I won't have a chance to take photos of my stash and other completed projects until after the summer is over and we're back home, and I may get the invite before then. Oh well. I'll get to it asap.

Ravelry Wait (Part 1)

Only 8140 people ahead of me on the waiting list for Ravelry! WOO HOO!

On a project note, I got relatively nothing done knitting wise this weekend. I think I only got about an hour's worth of knitting all weekend. Sigh. I was working. And the Husband and I were walking around exploring the rest of the time. Oh well. There's always today. :)
