Welcome to my Knitting Matrix! :o)
It seems as if I am doing "some" knitting and getting much of nothing completed! LOL ;op
I have been "doing" these charity hats since last...ur um July....
can I please get them done before it warms up? Haha!
I also have put Ms. Marigold on "temporary" hold. She is going really well 
Unfortunately, this was my last WIP pic I took of her eons ago...the entire body is actually done. I still need to pick-up the neckline (yes...sadly my KA kicked in on me) and then she will be all completed! Sigh
So to avoid my KA issues I swatched and casted on for the Back to School Vest, Ms. Rho she will be called from now on ;o) 
I actually have about 2 inches on the body ribbing and many more miles to go! But figured I would complete Ms. Rho 1st since she is made out of wool, and Ms. Marigold is out of silky tweed which is much lighter for spring weather; so she can be put on hold without hurting anything.
And I was all excited about my new companion for my 1st pair of gloves but...
that little ball of yarn is not going to squeeze out 22 inches for me.....mmmmh....
So I had to get some more yarn from my Canadian p.usher and I will have to cool my heels until next week when I can get it in the mail.
Which is fine since I am "supposed" to be working on those charity hats, a long overdue baby gift, and some slippers for a KAL ;op
It seems I need to get my act together over here! Everything is going in slow motion!
I have actually for some time now been wanting to slow down on my blogstalking of others and my own blogging so I can get back to why I got on here in the first place, which is because of knitting!
Sometimes when I sit back and think about all the time I have spent on the computer that could have been done knitting and how many projects I could have had completed! My goodness!
Blogging is so addictive! And I really do enjoy it! :o) But I need to slow it down a bit so I can spend more time on other important things as well.
So it looks like I will have my own 'blogging' matrix going on by going in slow motion on here, and hopefully picking up some momentum on my knitting to have more to share with y'all!
Lets see how long this will last! ;o)
Until next blog time! Be Well!
My picked up stitches are looking better and better!
i need to buckle down too though
otherwise I start to feel like I have blog homework to catch up on...no fun. :(
I love Marigold and picking up stitches isn't hard at all once you have done it one time. Can't wait to see her done.
It was nice getting to knit with you last night at the Cottage! Thanks for inviting me!
Good Luck with Ms. Marigold. I can't wait to see the finished project!
I blog surf at work and knit at home. At least, that's the plan. Unfortunately, I end up blogging and surfing at home too, hence, knitting less.
Great projects, hope all goes well!
I too sometimes say to myself OK only like 15 minutes on the computer and then back to the knitting. Next thing I know like an hour has gone by! OH well!!
How many hats are you making girl?
AND KA thats no excuse we had a great chant going!!!
But the vest is really cool and i love the color you picked can't wait to see it all done.
I've thought the same thing about the computer! The online knitting community is just as addictive as knitting, it seems!
Did you know that Saunielle has two cute dress patterns there? I thought that maybe you read her blog too. If not, it's saunshine.blogspot.com
Happy Knitting,
Stacey (we spell our names the correct way, don't we?)

And *sighs dramatically* I was coming here to see if you shared some info regarding that lovely Malabrigo you bought.
Hugs!
