Its been so long

I went to the doctor yesterday as a recheck for being in the hosptial on the 19th with chest pain. The doctor wants me to continue with the meds for another week to see if it is helping. He thinks the chest pain is stress so I need to learn breathing and relaxation techinques. If the pain continues then we will look at other option. So for now I am to try to lower the stress in my life. Like that is possible.


On the knitting front. I have finished the puppy hat and will post pics later, I made the small hat and it is alittle snug but will fit for this year. I started a pair of Monkey socks from Ry. I have one done I need to cast on the second one today. for the pattern I just removed one of the pattern repeats on size 1 needles. They are a perfect fit. After I finish the socks I am going to make Ry a pair of mittens Pink with the bones on them to match the hat.

Its been a long time.

Sorry that it has been so long since I last posted. There is not much new on this end. I continue to look for a new full time job. I have talked to my second part time job about a management position, but with the fact that I have not been there very long I do not think that it will happen any time soon.

On the knitting front I have have been working on market bags, dish clothes and sock. The yarn I have been using for the socks is amazingly soft it is On your toes bamboo. I love the feeling of it as I knit especially after spending hours working with kitchen cotton.

A friend from my knitting group has challanged all of us to enter a project into the Minnesota State Fair next year. I have been spending some time thinking about what I might want to make. I was thinking if I could get the yarn soon maybe I would try to get the spider web shawl done. Or I might try to make a sweater for Ry. All I know is that I want to make something that will challenge me but not send me over the top with frustration.

On Saturday we will be celebrating Ry's 2nd Birth with family. She is 2 today. It is so hard to believe that she has been around for two years. I remember a time when someone told me that my daughter should give her up for adoption. I am so blessed taht Al did not do that as Ry has been the best thing that has happened to our family in a long time.
Happy Birthday Ry
