Contest Winners!

Dudes. I scared myself. I counted my yarn and I have a helluva lot more than I thought I did. I think I've gotten it all. I opened every little hiding spot and I found all the yarn.
I counted the skeins. I added them all up. I have *88* skeins for sock yarn. I could make 88 freaking pairs of socks! And that doesn't count the yarn that I traded for and is in the mail. :)

Carrie was closest, with 85 skeins.
Ikkinlala was second with 101
and Trillian42 was third with 40.

Okay you guys. Email me at kelly at 50footrobot dot com and I'll send out your prizes. :) I'm still gathering little bits and pieces for the fun pack. :)

Is now the time I let you know that I'm not buying any more yarn until the 1st of the year? I'm not going on a yarn diet, I'm going on a yarn starvation.

A Bloganniversary Prize Extravaganza!

Come the 26th, I will have been knit blogging for 3 years. So, I think that deserves a little prize giveaway.. yes?

Here's the deal. I shall give away 3 prizes. Here are the rules, all you have to do is guess how many skeins of sock yarn I have! Okay, and for those of you over on Ravelry, I did just get some birthday booty in the mail, and I haven't added it yet. So there is no way to cheat. Unless of course, you come over to my house and count it all. :)
To make things easy, we'll count only yarn specifically for socks. I know I can knit a thick pair of socks out of say... worsted or whatever. And I do have some knit picks palette laying around, but that's not specifically sock yarn.

Okay. The 3 people that are the closest will win. So, as soon as I find some neat things for prizes, I'll let you know. You have until midnight on the 26th to post in the comments your guess.

Have fun! And thank you to my loyal reader for sticking around. ;)

Carpet! Tile!

So the guys are here and installing carpet and tile as we speak. (type?) The only problem, is that they're loud, and Johnathan did not want to take his nap. Even being so very tired. I finally got hi to sleep, we'll see how long it lasts.
I finished his pumpkin hat yesterday. That's the best picture I could get. He was in his jumper and would not be still. Imagine that! Anyway. It's super cute and fits him just right. I cast on 5 less stitches then the patter called for. He's not going to be able to wear it for too long, but really... pumpkin hat in December? That's just silly. He'll need an elf hat by then. :)

I'm working on getting rid of some of my WIPs. I finished his hat, I'm almost done sewing the dog sweater together, so that's helping things a bit. I really need to get my butt in gear and sew his Halloween costume. Maybe this weekend...

Speaking of knitting...

Ode to my knitting if you will. (for the Blog stalking 3 via knittyboard)
Dudes. I have got to get a handle on this knitting thing. What to take a walk through my WIP?
I have a dog sweater that just needs to be sewn up. I have two sweaters that need just an arm and collar. I have a sock that needs to be done by the end of the month. What do I do? I cast on for a hat for Johnathan. And now, I want to join the Sexy Knitters in a knit along and knit Snow White.
All the while, still having a bunch of things I've pushed off finishing. Like that second sock for my husband. And a pair of socks for my Mom. And, I bought yarn for like... 3 sweaters for Johnathan. Which If I don't get my butt in gear, he will out grow before I even begin to knit them!!
Plus I want to finish my Hats for Alex project AND knit a few for Knit one Save One.

I think I need some focus.

Wow!

My baby has a tooth!
Last night there was nothing there, and today, a tooth popped out! Bottom left. Crazy!

Today,

Is looking to be a good day. I am NOT doing anything that is 'work' today. I am going to knit, and color my hair, and eat chocolate. All day! My hubby already gave me my present Hedwig and the Angry Inch DVD! (I loaned mine out and it's gone.) and the book "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" awesome! I also got lots of chocolate from a friend. Yay! Hence, the eating chocolate all day.

I'm way behind on posting knitting things. If I can find the camera I shall post some pictures of yarn that has come in the mail. Oh! And my new knitting bag. So Sweet!

Off to enjoy my day. Happy Birthday to ME!

A quick Update of the last few week or so.

Last Thursday marked my first yoga class. I loved it! It's a yoga/Pilate's class, that really works your core. So I have hopes of getting rid of the baby belly. :)

Speaking of the baby, Friday was his 4 month check up. 13 pounds 11 oz (25th%) 26 inches long (86th%) and his head put him right at 50th%. Got shots, and since he no longer wants a bottle, we were told we could start trying rice cereal, as he most likely will take that from someone else.

Then, we went to our friends house and watched the debate, where he rolled over for the first time.
Ready for the debate

On Tuesday Osiris went to his last vet visit. They gave him the all clear!
He does not like to be woken up to get pictures taken

Which is good. We're finally done with the dog bite ordeal. Money from the other owner should be coming within the next couple weeks. Also, Yesterday was Osiris's birthday. He turned 2. Which is a pretty big deal considering we very nearly lost him in July.

ON Sunday my Grandmother turns 85 which is a much bigger deal then 2. We're heading to Spicer for the party, and to show off the baby, as no one on that side has seen him. I'm sure he will get squeezed by everyone. Poor guy. :)

I'll save the knitting update for later, I need to take some pictures. :)
