Hey everyone. Sorry I've been so silent lately. School starting has really bogged down the free time. I am still working on the mitred jacket and finished the one-skein gift for my Knitting Parents email group. Of course I didn't think to get a picture until it was packaged up and ready to mail. I started many things, rug of old t-shirts, string market bag, etc and nothing seemed right. I finally settled on a simple felted bag. My exchange person lives in the south so all the cute mitten patterns just didn't seem right. :) Hopefully she will get it soon and may send me a picture that I can post.
I haven't knit almost anything in the last 3 weeks. I did sneak in a couple hours last Sunday at the cabin while the guys all watched football and took out the jet ski and its lift. I sat in a sunny spot that was out of the wind and listened to Cast-On podcasts and knit. Ahhhh, dreamy!
Hopefully now that school has been back for almost a month we are more into a routine and I can get some evening knitting in. Hockey starts the end of October so I'm always guaranteed knitting time while waiting for practices to end. ;) I promise to post pictures of the mitred jacket soon - it is about 80% done.

I'm downloading some now. I'm hoping this will be fun to listen to while walking or waiting for kids.

First Day of Sixth Grade

I know personal expression is important - but I'll be glad when the "long hair" thing is over with! :)
Our internet is back!

Yahoo! It took a new router, but we are back in action. The technician who came to save us said our connection was "slower than dial up speeds". No kidding? :)
The great news is that with just a $49 router we are back in action, and now we also have wireless so when I bring work home, I don't need to hook up a cable to get access. Love that!
Here are the pictures of my Mitred Jacket sweater in progress. I haven't knit on it since my class last Tuesday. I'm not sure I'll get my homework done given all the stuff that needs doing at home, but I'll give it a shot!

Mitred Sweater Update
Our internet connection is so slow it's worse than dial-up at home so haven't posted lately. They are coming to see if they can fix it tomorrow - oh please, oh please, oh please.
I've been busy with the first weeks of school, and working on homework for the Mitred Sweater class. I have the first half of the sweater complete and need to finish the 2nd half and pick out buttons before the next class. Do I go with basic black or jazz it up with some fun buttons... hmmm, such decisions. I'll post a picture as soon as I'm able.
