I've been good.....

why you say ~ because I received really cool things. ;) Yesterday, I received my 2nd medal and

bouquet at Ravelymics ~ Event: Gift Knits Pentathlon.

Then I received this in the mail:

I got some yummy new chocolates to try ~ Bug Bites & Chimp Mints

I got Sparking Bath Antistree in vanilla-bergamont soap ~ I think I better use it tonite ;D

I got a knitting button

and.....some lovely Pagewood Farm Sock yarn which is lovely shades of orange just like fall trees.

Thank you very much SP ~ I love my package. ;)

On the knitting front ~ my mojo has started to dry up. You read that right. I don't seem inspired to do anything. I can't find that lost ball of Cascade to finish off the B2S, my spare a square has become a nightmare ~ I had to rip back 10 rows and now there are 18 more to go. I tried to knit it in the car on the way to work ~ lost a needle ugh! Then tonight as I co for the sock put ~ you know I only have 10 days left ~ my knit pick #3 circs break. Oh no.....now I must use my dpns and I'm really slow using them. Though I love knittng w/them very much ~ using them relaxes me. Oh speaking of relaxing me, they relaxed me so much I fell asleep, lost a needle and a few sts and decided I better post my SP package before something else happens. LOL

I really want to finish strong in Ravelympics but it looks abit bleak at the moment since my work schedule is very hectic. I was also hoping to go to Stitches Midwest but I'm not up for driving 11hrs so I may not get to go. I did manage to get off work so maybe I'll do a shorter road trip to either TX or OKC. I'm not sure but I'll let you know what I decide. Though work is proving to be a challenge, I will soon have a break from it to work at the fair ~ woohoo! I'm not sure I'll be entering anything at this time ~ still thinking about it ~ but can't wait to eat some cotton candy, sausage n onions, cinnamon rolls and a yummy red candied apple. I'm getting fat thinking about it. ;)

Off to read a few blogs and emails then off to bed ~ up at 5a. Yeah I know too early and I'm really tired. Have a great one.

Look what I won ;)

I won a medal and

received a lovely bouquet for my Scarf Stroke event.

Yeah me! Congrats to all the finishers ~ there are alot of them. Some have even finished more than 2 items per event. Wow ~ not sure I want to be that speedy but it has been a blast. Looking forward to watching more of the Olympics and finishing the last 2 events.

My next event ~ Sock Put

Pattern ~ Gumbi Socks by Gina Yeats

Yarn ~ ?

Needles ~ 2s

More as soon as I've decided on the yarn and that should hopefully be tonight. However, I'm not allowing myself to co til I finish the "spare a square" for colorcrazed. Its becoming a bane of my existence ~ keeping losing sts usually the yo but I'll keep plugging along. Btw, the Happy Feet yarn is no longer on my favs list ~ too nappy, felts on itself, taggles really bad and not as smooth as I like it. Nonetheless, the colorways are beautiful. I believe I'll gift the remainder of the ball w/its pal skein. After winding another skein ~ a lovely blue shade ~ Riley has swiped it. I believe she plans to make baby socks. LOL

I need to update on our trip, my knitting, my life ~ ok maybe not my life that would be boring. I'm really not in the mood to blog so I'll save that for another day. ;)

Have a wonderful evening.
