"Little Cracker"....eh??

Thanks, Anonymous, for your message! I'm right here. Where are you??

"Little"?? Well, I cooked alot this past weekend. I made a 17 bean soup in the crockpot. Brought some in for my co-worker today. I went in late, after the snow melted. I had talked to her before I went in.........& she was definitely in the mood for someone to bring her in lunch, so I did. It's fun to make people happy when I can.........I also made some brown rice pasta with shredded beef, zucchini & mushrooms...........and.................pumpkin cheesecake. The "crust" was just chopped pecans & I didn't use any sugar. I used something called Blue Agave. That is a natural sweetener from a cactus & is low glycemic, so I thought I'd try it. Quite delicious. I ate too much & I'm not so "Little"!!

On the knitting scene: I'm on my 4th panel of my afghan. I'm about 1/3 done on this panel. Then only 1 more to go......then blocking.....then sewing it up.

See, not much new...............that's why I haven't blogged. So, what are you doing?? Did you take up knitting yet?? You should if you haven't!! And if you knit...........what are YOU knitting??

Happy 2008!!!

As you can see, blogging has NOT been a priority for me. I trust you all had a wonderful Christmas & New Year's. Me too!!

I finished my Net Market Bag.........looks just like the first one I did when I started this blog last June. I'm keeping this one!!

I also started my afghan. I'm doing a cable pattern done in strips. It is 5 long strips altogether, so sewing it at the end will not be any fun. But I'm on a roll & it is taking me about 1 week to do one strip. I'm half way done. Scary to tell you all that, because you will now expect me to have the completed strips done in 2-1/2 weeks. Then I figure a month to sew it together!! HA!! Don't hold your breath for any of this..............because, as you know.....................

I've still got my 2 pairs of socks on needles, just sitting there..............

See my chart on the right?? The one that has my projects listed with percents?? I am trying to change it, but it's been so long since I've touched that, ......I may just delete it if I can't figure it out again.

And for non-knitting news...........I'm really enjoying my job now. I'm FINALLY getting some of it. My brain doesn't hurt as much. So glad I made the change.

I'm not doing pictures today. By the way.......why do all of your pictures come out so clear & sharp & mine are so bad??? The old fashion SLR camera that I have took great pictures. Of course I had to choose the speed & set the F stop, but my pictures were always beautiful. Sometimes I just don't like new technology.....................
