Check out this giveaway... it's awesome!

The fabulous Lila Tueller is giving away a quilt! You have to go to her blog and check it out! I just love her designs, and I really want to win, but it's only fair to spread the word.

Edit:For some crazy reason, blogger won't let me post the picture of the quilt. hmmmm, I guess you'll just have to click on the link, I promise it's worth it!

A little more knitting...

I have clearly been bit by the knitting bug in 2010! I purchased this Noro sock yarn last summer, and was waiting for the right pattern to make a sweater with. While at my LYS, I found a book (Noro Collection Book 3 by Jenny Watson) at 40% off (bonus!), and started knitting this last week. It is being knit on size 2 needles, which feel like tooth picks to me! LOL This is the right front side. I started the left side last night, and have been watching A LOT of the olympics at night. With a few old episodes of 24 mixed in, gotta love Netflix!This is my amarylis bulb I planted around Christmas. I bought it on clearance, so I was hopeful it would bloom.... I wasn't successful last year with my discount purchase. It is so neat to watch it grow, and has me itching for Spring!

Working More = Crafting Less

Last month I started working as the charge nurse on a new unit in the hospital. I've always worked in Oncology, and this floor is a mix of Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant. I also increased my hours, therefore I have much less crafty time on my hands. My sweater is complete (YAH!), but there isn't anyone to take a picture of me wearing it. It actually fits, which is a plus! I also started another knitted item, since I can bring my WIP's on the way to work. So, that's why it's been a few weeks since my last post. Hopefully, I'll get used to the new work schedule, and if not, I'll be sure to pop in when I can.
