I have two (maybe three) pairs of socks started. I may have to frog the lace pattern ones, you see I have kids and pets and no more explanation needed. I have two scarves for the husband going. One of them is actually a prayer shawl he saw in the knit prayer shawl book that he really liked and wanted as a scarf, the other I don't think he is very thrilled with and I may just frog that one too. I started a sweater for myself in October and I may have forgotten where I was on that too. Oh, I did finish one glove in a pair of fingerless gloves! Woo Whoo is in order -ha ha.
I am trying to get the scarf/prayer shawl for the hubby done before he comes home for a short visit on New Years. It is still hard to get used to him living someplace else. It's even harder to realize he really does like living alone, but he does miss us he says.
School went well for me this past semester. An 'A' a 'B' in combined lecture and lab and thank goodness a 'C' in the class I needed to get a C or better in so I can move onto the next level and get the grade modification to my GPA. Now I have to wait till my counselor is back from winter break so I can register for next semester. Semester starts on January 18 and I really hate waiting till the last minute to register. I had no choice this time though because of the one class and my GPA issue.
In the meantime with knitting and crochet I have many projects to figure out where I left off at and I have some to even start. I told the kids I would make them hats, and a couple of the daughters friends too. I have no idea how I will get these done.
Today is the last knit in at Knitty Couture before she closes on the 31st. They want to grow their family and are planning on having another child before 2011 ends and did not want to try and balance a business and kids. I can't blame her and her husband for that decision at all. It has been very difficult for me over the past 16 years balancing kids, home and work and my school. I just can't leave them home alone when they are little and even now with them being teenagers it's not that easy either. Something the husband doesn't know about or remember. His work has always kept him out of a lot of that. He thinks I sulk and sit around depressed and afraid to go out. Well I just may, but when you have kids it is rather hindering when you want to have your own life and do your own things and just get up and go. When they have their drivers license, their own car and the other things that go along with being independent, then I can be independent again too, I hope. yeah some-days I pretty much think my life sucks. It definitely did not go on the path and time line I expected or planned. I am going to be 50 very soon and instead of thinking about retiring in 15 years I am starting my life all over again, teenagers and all.
Well let me try and focus more on positive things.
I'll post pictures of the knitting and crochet here and on Ravelry.com when I get them taken.
Thanks all.
