Plugging Along

I have several things on the needles (much to Toby's dismay!) My knitting has pretty much taken over one entire corner of the living room. My goal over the coming weekend is to organize it all before the Easter Bunny comes. :)

Here's the March Mid-Month KAL in progress.



I have been messing around with making stitch markers. I rarely use them but I thought they looked like fun to make. I had no idea what kind of beads to get, so I just picked up a couple of random packages. I tell ya what - these things are addicting! They are also harder than heck to get a decent picture of as they tend to swing and sway.


And talk about addicting - I've started knitting Tribbles. I'll post pics of those later. :)

Emily's volleyball is over for this year. I spent quite a few Sundays knitting between games. They didn't win their tourney last week, but I think they had a great season and a lot of fun. It's been amazing to watch their growth throughout the year. They look like a whole new team! (Emily is number 99.)



Ladies Night this Thursday! My two sisters, my best friend and I are going to Galena, IL to stay overnight. We have rented what is called a "cottage". (Hopefully it's as nice as it sounds!) Two bedrooms, fireplace, DVD player and TV, outside hot tub, etc. Friday will be spent walking though the shops. I cannot WAIT!

Other than that, we are still battling various stages of the flu. Hunter has been down since Friday night. I think he's on the upswing now but he's sure not been feeling good. I can't wait for the weather to improve. Maybe then we can get rid of all of this gunk!

Your work is beautiful!!

Regarding tribbles--I've tried them twice and each time I can't seem to get them to be round.

I pull the end yarns as tight as I can, so tight I think the yarn might break, and still not round!! What do you think may be wrong??
