Knitting Content Only

So I thought that today would be a good day to focus on the knitting part of the blog - seeing as I'm still a few weeks away from the taping part of it. Anyway, haven't knitted since last Friday. Very bad. But it's still ridiculously hot here in Mentor and I needed to get some other (knit) things done and out of the way. And I found some fun new things - to be discussed a little later.

So today after work, I went to the office supply store and got a new (pretty) binder and folders and page protectors and other stuff, but all that was to better organize all my WIP's and all those wonderful things I long to start to knit. And then I proceeded to figure out the blankets to be made for soon-to-be-arriving niece and nephew and wrote them out. Then I wrote out the pattern that my sister expressed some interest, and then the "Ballband Dishcloth" pattern from Mason-Dixon Knitting, so that all my library books could be returned on time tomorrow after work. Woohoo. No I just have to organize and put them all away. No problem.

The other knit related thing that took up some of my time this evening was me joining some KAL's. Maybe I've gone a bit crazy, but I found a link on a blog I was reading for a list of KAL's, and wouldn't you know it, the second from the top is a Football-Along. Now, anyone who knows me will know that there was no way, absolutely no way possible, that I would not click on that link and sign up as soon as I figured out that it combines football and knitting. So I did. Then I go back to the list and scroll down. And what do I find? One called "Black and Gold KAL". Hmmm, could it possibly be that somehow there is a sight devoted to combining my love of the Steelers and my love of knitting in a way to meet other people just as obsessed with those two things as I am? Surely not. So I clicked on it.

And there it was, a knit-along devoted to people who love the Black and Gold - whether it be the Steelers, the Pirates, the Penguins, or any other team with the colors of black and gold. But seeing as it is done up by someone in Pittsburgh, I think it's safe to say that I will see many wonderful idea for some Steeler knits for the fam. Now I just have to get all my other projects done so that I can start something. So excited. Can't wait to figure out how to get the button on here somehow.

I promise that tomorrow night, there will be some knitting. Hopefully some finishing of a pair of socks and a right front panel to a cardigan in seafoam green. (It's supposed to be significantly cooler here tomorrow, can you tell?)

P.S. I can't tell you how bummed I am that I missed out on the Mystery Stole 3 PHENOMENON that is taking place over with Pink Lemon Twist. Silly vacation getting in the way of new knitting projects. So jealous of everyone who is having fun with the lace making and beading. Next year......
