Just a Ramble

As I was in the middle of typing my first entry a couple days ago, my mom knocked on my front door. She brought me a missing DPN I'd dropped at her house the day before, and two knitting books she found in her room while cleaning. One is a knitting journal where I can keep notes and sketch out designs in the future. The other is The Knitting Stitch Bible, by Maria Parry-Jones. I've only had a minute to glance through it, but I already know I'm going to have fun trying out some new stitch patterns from the book. I know that as my mom's cleaning continues, she'll find more knitting resources to pass along to me.
I need to get some circular needles, and those are definitely on my Christmas wish list. I need to decide what I want, though. I'd also like to try some socks, and will need to pick up some smaller DPNs and some sock yarn.
My current project was on hold yesterday, and will be today as well, as I try to finish a little sewing project I'm working on. I've been hindered along the way with missing materials, and now a broken sewing machine! I finally found the problem yesterday afternoon, and will need to borrow my sister's machine to get this project done. I'm working on finishing up some square flannel wash cloths (wipes) to send in a cloth diaper exchange, and I'd like to finish up a cloth diaper to go along with them. That is all to add to the cloth diaper I ordered that is sitting here, waiting to be mailed. I have a deadline on this project, it needs to arrive by October 7th, so I really need to have it in the mail by the end of this week. Which would, of course, be tomorrow! But once I finish this side project, I'll be back to my knitting. I only have a little left to do on this pair of longies for the baby!
I'll also be working on putting some pictures up of these various projects!
Next update should be soon. :)
