No Time

It seems that lately I have been running out of time to do things lately. For example every morning I wake up with the intention of going out and taking pictures of my WIPs but always run out of time before I go to work. I also intend to do it when I get home but have been finding myself only stopping in for a few moments before going out again. By the time I get back it is dark out. I cannot win! Between my niece's first birthday preparations, the boyfriend and knitting dates (=P) I simply have not been able to take a single picture. I don't like to post without them because I LOVE blogs with pictures but I was itching to post about my goings on so I will suffer through it.

First, I have signed up for a swap on Ravelry! It is in the iblog a.k.a The Blog Hub group that I just joined. It sounds like so much fun and I might even get an international partner which would be super cool!  I like how you have to individually wrap at least seven things so that your partner can open and blog about it for everyday for a week. I don't think it is required to actually blog about it but I intend too =).

Next, I have made it to the body of my Aran Necklace Camisole! The hard part is over and now it is straight stockinette stitch. I am on the front and will need to pick up stitches for the back soon. My Knitting Guru is very proud of me! Also I am almost done with my sisters socks and as soon as I finish I can cast on another pair! The Guru put the rules in place, not me =(

Lastly, one of my favorite blogs to read is Eskimimi Knits. She makes the most beautiful projects, has a yarn store on Etsy, takes fantastic pictures (even has a tutorial that I have tried to use for my blog pics though not a nicely as hers) and her posts are interesting and informative. She is actually the moderator for The Blog Hub group that is hosting the swap. Anyways, she is knitting a pair of socks in yarn that I just fell in love with. You can see her pictures here. I love the beachy colors that the yarn has and I have tried to find something similar with no luck. So I was snooping around Ravelry the other day and found someone who was selling the same yarn in the same colorway! I was so siked! She is mailing it to me tomorrow but it won't be here for a while since it is coming from England. The yarn is Schoppel-Wolle and it looks lovely to work with. The socks I knit with that yarn will be for me =)

I think those are all the updates I have for today. I am gonna have pictures up as soon as I can =)
