Knitter in Progress

1.9 is how many dishcloths I finished in the last twenty four hours. Hurray for me! (If I had time to go into everything else I did today, I would but I'm tired). Night. PS--this post lets me meet my personal challenge of blogging for 3 whole months in 2009 :)

I'll give you a topic: Is it possible to knit two facecloths in less than 24 hours and still get everything else done? Discuss :) **Anyone remember Coffee Talk? I loved that skit on SNL.

to finishing page 1. I was hoping to get it done by today but I ran out of time. I highly doubt it will be done next week because we are having company for the next week. Before: After:

**got up **fed kiddos and self **went out shopping; got Wii Sports Resort for Diva and Rage--they played it at our neighbor's house yesterday and it was very cool and I thought it might give me time to get stuff done **got Starbucks on the way home **made lunch while simultaneously doing different household tasks to prepare for company later in the week **continued household cleaning while stopping every 5 minutes to read instructions to the kiddos for the different games(if you get WSR you'll see what I mean). **continued household cleaning while breaking up fights between Diva and Rage over the aforementioned game **get phone call about Rage's swimming lessons **PROBLEM--I thought his lessons started next week but it is THIS week. Diva has to meet with her teacher every Tuesday night. Swimming and teacher meeting are overlapping times. **I curse about this for a while then Diva gets a phone call to go skating with a friend **she leaves for two hours while I continue clean...

These are A LOT smaller than I thought they would be. If you're looking for a bigger doll, make sure you use a heavier weight of yarn.

I have been seeing this on numerous stitching blogs over the past few months and I finally decided to go see what exactly the details were. I went here and it looks like fun so I'm in :) Brief rules summary(quick reference for me): 1. Find a see-through container: i.e., mayonnaise jar, fish bowl, jelly/jam jar, something you'll enjoy. Containers may be changed at your pleasure. 2. Every time you are stitching throughout the coming year you agree to put all your "stitching throw aways" in this container. This may include: **regular Orts (thread ends) **little snips of fabric **broken buttons **a bead or two **worn out needles **the labels from used up floss skeins **whatever you like, as long as it is, or rather, was going to be part of a stitching project currently underway 3. You may include orts from any type of stitching project: cross stitch, knitting, crochet, whatever, but please do not include other craft leftovers such as paper crafts, rubber stamping, etc. I...
