So I am back after 2 1/2 weeks of being so incredibly sick. Thank heavens it is done now but at least I got a lot of uninterupted stitching done :)

Sick, sick, sick ohhhh soooo sick :(
I have been stuck for the last almost 2 weeks with a cold. The cold finally went away but the cough is still here damn it!  On the plus side I have the wolf panel I am working on almost done :) 

Well at least my knitting skills are improving, in 2 days I have managed to not only knit up to the point that the cats dismantled but, I have passed it!  Yes I am happy :)

Ok so I am ready to scream!  I came home today to find out that all the hard work I had done on my wolf double knitting project was destroyed by one or all of my wonderful cats.  I have probably restarted the damn thing 5 times and here we go again.  UGGGG!

Here I go again :(  I had to unravel all the knitting I did because there were too many mistakes for me to handle. One or two is ok but I had more.  Oh well I will keep trying I guess it serves me right for knitting while watching the almighty johnsons lol.

So I am finally making headway with my wolf double knitting piece.  I had to pull it apart a few times because of mistakes but I did 4 rows perfectly so I am proud.  I was really worried about it because it did seem so hard and complicated but when I finally decided to slow down and talk my way through it (yes, I actually started talking lol) I finally figured it out. Not to mention I am kind of a perfectionist so I had to pull it apart until it looked good. :) 

I have decided to attempt double knitting. Yes I say this matter of fact because to me it is a statement of achievement. lol.  I only learned how to knit recently and all of this is very exciting and I want to make sure that I continue with it.  Has anyone out there tried double knitting and what do you think?  I also think that I should make better use of my time and finances so I have been looking up ways to make different things. Food stuff like peanut butter (which is amazingly easy) and regular butter.  Since I already bake my own bread I thought I would give these others a try :)

Gabriel's curtains

So here are the photos of my son's curtains I absolutely love them.  They were so easy and ordering fabric from the states was not nearly the pain in the ass I thought it might be. :)  Here, I just used a basic 1/4 hem on the sides, 4 inch on the top, and 2 inches on the bottom.

Snow, snow well it is finally here. We had some come and go the next day or even the next hour but this stuff might actually stick. I hope.
