The New Vogue Knitting Is Here!!!!

Jackie — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 18:59:05 +0000

Okay, so those of you that know me, know that I’m usually more of an Interweave Knits kinda girl. I’ve never really found the things in Vogue to be practical for me. However, one of the owners of my favorite LYS, Brooke Nico, has a gorgeous patten that got published in the Spring/Summer 2010 issue. And to help promote the buzz, they hired me to design an ad for their shop to get in this issue.

This morning, it was dropped at my desk via Rachel, as it was brought to knitting last night, but I wasn’t there:

The Kirkwood Ad!

I’m so excited to see it in print. :D I feel famous, even though my name is no where in the ad. Though, Bob says this makes me “ninja famous” – and I’m totally going to run with that.

Saturday!

Today was brunch with some coworkers and an adventure to see the knitted super hero costumes. It was neat.

I had a belgium waffle at brunch. It was super yum.

Syruppy Waffles are my favorite.

Yep. That’s how long I’ve made it without sleep. I think I should maybe go to bed now. But, I’ve accomplished a lot on that last sleepless day.

I knitted another set of ornament mittens (my last commissioned one, YAY!):

Mittens!

And then I re-started and got going on my fishes mittens:

Fishes!

Woo hoo!

Toys & Knittings

Paisley got a new toy in the mail the other day, and today she got it for being a good girl. She was very excited to sink her teeth into it:

New toy!

Favorite.

And I also finished the mittens for the exchange tomorrow:

Finished mittens!

I know I haven’t been typing much really lately. Things have been okay, but stressful. My shoulder has been acting up a lot the last few weeks, and I’ve been pretty crabby because of that. I’m hoping that this week will be better. As of right now, my shoulder just really hurts. But, at least I can breathe?

1st mitten

Now I just need one more to make the ornament set! Work swap is on Tuesday, that’s plenty of time, right?

Tonight I learned the figure 8 cast on and the kitchener stitch. It’s a bit wonky, but the idea is there.

Owls are DONE!!!

Look it! Look it!!! I’m so excited! It’s finally done. 20 days flat. I’ll get good pictures tomorrow, but for now, here are some really happy web cam pictures. :)

EEP! Owls!

Front!

Owls back!

I’m so proud. I think this is the coolest thing I’ve ever knit.

Turkey & Ribbing

I didn’t finish the sweater in time to wear. :(

But, I did get to the ribbing, and I think I’ll be able to finish it tomorrow since I don’t have anything else going on. Here’s the new progress:

Sleeve Ribbing

We had Turkey lunch at Kevin’s parents. It was a good time, and the food was excellent. Then we went to see the movie “Ninja Assassin” which was exactly what I needed to get my mind off of life.

We’re heading out to his friends’ in a bit, and that should be good too. Late night turkey extravaganza!

Cookies & Knitting

Tonight was pretty good. Knitted half a sleeve of the sweater at knit night. Got to play with Abby the adorable. Got some girl scout cookies. Awesome.

Cookies!

Finished Body Pictures!

Full body!

That’s all.
