Productive-ity

Even though I had a busy weekend and week, I managed to make two whole puppet (without the face) and my Wurm. 

I got France’s February Lady yarn but I haven’t started it yet.  I’m not too worried.  My FL knit up pretty quickly.  I am, however, really looking forward to playing with the yarn.  I got some Cascade 220, which I’ve never worked with.  I figured 355 people used it before me to make this sweater so it must work up pretty well. 

While I was on Ravelry looking up yarn options,  I noticed that it now says that 7,400 people have made the February Lady.  It’s been translated to six other languages to boot!  That’s got to make it one of the most popular patterns of all time!!!  Haha.

I still have to put some eyes on my Harry Bear.  I suppose there’s no hurry for him ’cause he’s staying local.   I showed Patty’s Mom and Dad (Rachelle and John) and they thought he was pretty darned cute.  I’m working on his scarf.

Well, it’s official!  I’m published.  How THRILLING.  I submitted a little “knitting article” to a local paper a few weeks ago.  Today, on my way back to work from doing the banking, my cell phone rings.  (I know I’m not supposed to be on my cell while I’m driving but…)  It was my mother calling to congratulate me.  At first, I was completely confused.  I had no idea what she was congratulating me for.  I have some things on the go that my merit a congrats but… not things that she would know the outcome of before me.  ANYWAY, she proceeded to tell me about this article on page 27 of the Seaway News.  MYarticle.  I was sooooooo excited!  I read it the minute I got home.  And, although I wrote it and re-read it about 20 times, I was still really excited to read it again, in a published newspaper!  Maybe I’ll frame it!

I’ll post pics when I have time and the light is better.
