I just started a new project.  It's another Noro pattern; this one is called "Mavis".  It basically has a chevron pattern in the lower portion of the sweater and is stockinette around the bust and up.  I'm using Noro Silk Garden, Color 264 and love it.  I had seen the sweater in a different color and was unsure how I would like this color combo, but I'm pleasantly surprised.

 

It was hard to set up the pattern but once I got it started, it is going really fast.  I hardly have to count anymore.

 

Stay tuned for more updates! 

I just finished up the sweater I knitted with Noro Iro.  It was so quick and easy!  I love it.  I think I'll wear it today!

 

It took me 6 skeins of Iro and 2.5 weeks.  I even did all the finishing without grumping.

 

Now I'm making another Noro pattern, Mavis, with Silk Garden.

 

 

It's March and the brakets are out!  I've got my copy of USA Today and my pencil and I am so ready!  It's hard to decide how far to pick Maryland to advance.....such a decision.

 

Check back later to see my picks!

It's a beautiful day here.  The sun is out but it's chilly. 

 

We had a great time at the Basketball game.  Maryland beat NC State for their 7th straight win.  It was "Senior Day" and good to have a win.  Now we wait for the rest of the games to play out today to see what seed Maryland gets in the ACC Tournament.  If UNC loses, we get a bye in the first round.  That would be nice.

 

Our Maryland Women lost to UNC in a close one in the semi finals of the ACC Tournament.  Now it's a NC-State vs UNC Final.  I would love to see NC State win but I don't think so.

 

Jessica is still under the weather.  It's frustrating for both her and me.  She wants to get back to her normal schedule and so do I.  Poor kid.

 

I moved the buttons on my Einstein since I took the picture.  I moved them 2 inches to make the coat fit a bit snugger.  I like it much better!

 

Now to figure out what to say on a blog.

I thought it would be fun to have a blog to post pictures and share stories with my friends, especially those that are "on line".  I am always asked to share photos of my knitting, trips, and other fun things.  This will be an easy way to do that!

 

Today is a Sunny Saturday!  We are deep in "March Madness" discussions and trying to figure out bubble teams, ACC tournament seedings and other fun college hoops things.  We are off to University of Maryland for the game against NC State - a MUST win, as all games in March are.  The women also play UNC today.  We will have to TiVo the game.  Off to set up my page!

 

I just added a bunch of new knitting projects that I have finished recently and a recent headshot of Jessica that I took for an audition.

 

Enjoy!
