Hey I found the cutest pattern for a rose with small leaves and am going to knit up a bunch (like thirty). In purple no less. I went to the Las Vegas Womens Club this last week. And next months theme is to colect for womens shelters. For women and children surviving abuse. The theme color is purple. So I thought " Why not make these for the ladies in the group. They are so nice and very supportive of the community. I brought some boxes from Habitat for Humanity and several took them home to start collecting for them. Wow What a neat group. Tehy just bought dictionaries for the elementary schools. They offer scholarships to the local colleges. I am the youngest member for sure, there is even this one gal 90 yrs old. Shes amazing. I guess you can tell I'm pretty excited about this.
So on the knitting front still working on the corset -t about 1/3 done slow going it gets knid of tedious. This part of the pattern is just ribbing. K2P2. Also still working on small dishcloth size cloths with the letteres of LILD's name on it and looking for cute pics to fill in the extra blocks. I'm doing it in dark and medium blue acrylic for the boy. Its gonna need to be washed frequently. And of course there is the Dishcloth-KAL, currently on row 17 waiting for thext set of rows. This one I'm doing in "daisy ombre" its a pretty lacy thing. Probably will never see a dish. But oh well. I think the next ones I do will be in colors for our new kitchen. Yes we are waiting for the final approval on our new house. We can't wait. Just waiting for the road to dry out enough so we can get the trailer down it to trade in at the dealer. What stress. Wait Wait Wait. agh I'm going nuts. Took my mom and her friend to see it they both thought it was perfect for us. Its a small 3 bed,2 bath. We are gonna build a dining nook for the kitchen and eventually build on to it. Lild has allready decided how to do his room.
I am probably gonna get a second job here for the winter. The job I'm at now I am only getting 24 hrs. So I've gotta get some more. I spoke with one of the gals from the Womens group and she gave me her daughters phone number. I'm gonna see the owner of a home health co here in town in the after noon, after I sleep a little. The usually only work MON- FRI 8-5. Who knows this might be a new adventure for me. Of course I couldn't do the whole day but if I could pick up a few patients here and there throughout the week while Lild is in school. And Big D at work. It just might work. So I guess I had better sign out :)
