Blog much?

Umm nope. Perfect excuse of total blog-neglect. We have been adding on a bedroom and what I call "the little room" (foyer). Construction is totally complete, transformed from a cluttered closed in back porch to what it is now. I don't have pictures, still don't have batteries for that camera.
I have been knitting!!! YAY! Not too busy to knit. I'm no marathon knitter or anything but I'm overly happy with what I accomplished. Drum roll please!!


TA-DA! Isn't it beautiful? I'm totally smitten with this, I think cause of my own hand spun (that black alpaca from previous post) and not ONE mistake in it. I'm really bad at this...
Specs:
Pattern - Forest Canopy Shawl
Yarn - Hand spun baby alpaca (super soft)
Needles - Yes I used 'em to knit LOL
Pretty much all I know or remember it's been knit for a while now. My old boss asked me what was next on my knitting agenda, I told her I was enjoying this for a while.

I knit a few smaller things in some of my other hand spun. Yes, I do occasionally buy yarn...but not so much when I can make it! *raspberries*

First is a cabled coffee and handwarmer Knit this up in a couple hours.
Second is The Republic Hat

Both of these are knit up in the same hand spun, I had enough left over for the mug cozy.
That's it for the knits.

Oh right now as I'm typing (And my damn spacer key is sticking!) we are having our first thunderstorm for the year! Bring on the warm weather...I'm ready.

FYI - To get these pictures above I stole the batteries out of my sons guitar for his guitar hero hehe.
