This Yarn

Okay all for now. I must refrain and get back to work. TGIF!!

My First Sym Sweater

(Please excuse the pics. My camera sucks! I swear it isn't a user error.)
Okay 2 years ago I bought an issue of Knit It! magazine.


Inside this incredible issue were SEVERAL patterns I wanted to knit. The deal sealer on this issue was this pattern!


So Part of my stash acquisition was to buy the yarn for this sweater for the Syminator. She needs one quite frankly and if I don't knit it now she'll never be able to fit into it!!
She wanted different colors so here they are....


This will be my very first Sweater. I call it the Sym Sweater.
Yeah has a nice ring to it. That is all go back to your business.....
One more sweater project to happen soon as well. Just waiting on UPS to deliver it. ;-)
Toodles

New Vogue Knitting arrived Yesterday!

Yeah I got my New Vogue Knitting International yesterday. Some of the patterns are pretty cool. It is their 25 year anniversary edition. It will be the last copy of this Mag that I receive. I'm kind of glad. The Mag had some REALLY cool patterns over the years but I haven't knitted anything out of ANY of them! Mostly because the yarns with the patterns cost more than a tank of gas to knit it. I have 2 years worth and nothing to show for it except a nice collection on my book shelf. LOL (The articles have been nice though. Some of them anyways.)
OH well. I'll get around to knitting one eventually. Life has taken up WAY too much of my time. I am literally having to schedule me time. For the past few days it has been from 5:30 AM to 6:30 AM. Nice huh?

I'm debating on getting into a different Mag subscription. I just don't know which one yet. LOL

I was wondering, do any of ya'll subscribe to knitting mags?
How many FO's have you knit from them?

OOps Me time is up!
Thank ya'll for the good knitting vibes and prayers! I've been feeling them and it has helped me out tremendously!!! I'm constantly thinking of ya'll!! I hate that work has been super busy. It has cut into my blog reading time at work. LOL :-)

XOXOXO
Lesley


PS. Vogue Knitting has updated their website saying that it is the "Ultimate Knitting Experience". Here is the link.
I haven't checked it out yet but I do plan to tomorrow morning or tonight hopefully just to see if it is REALLY "the ultimate knitting experience" or just a marketing ploy. LOL
