go easy, its my first time

Welcome, come on in for my inaugural blog post at this address! I keep forgetting what name I used and thus, start anew once again.
Becoming hooked on blog reading, I think its time to join in the party and get serious about posting. I've been impressed at the blogs you all have created, and so bad at keeping up with my old ones,

A quick intro ~
  • Married to my best friend for almost 33 years, its a good thing neither of us has gotten a day older mentally, we are still kids!

  • Mom of two boys, OK, adults. Turned out pretty well, if I say so myself.

  • Mom to two dogs, an Old English and a Mini Pin. If you can stand it, they also turned out pretty well, too.

  • Also have a bird and a few fish, the jury is still out on their behavior.

  • I'm an urban school librarian, this year I love my job ~ hang on, you'll soon hear more than you ever wanted to know about kids and books

  • I will finish my MLIS this spring and say good-bye forever to graduate school, two masters in five years is enough already

  • I love to knit - amend that to say I love to start projects and collect knitting books, yarn, needles, and gadgets for those projects that are dancing around in my mind
    Here are a few of my works in progress


This is a shawl for my good friend, Pattie, it was going to be finished for her 50th birthday, since she's now 51, its a little behind schedule. The edging is turning out nice, hope I have enough yarn left to finish, its Lion Brand Wool Ease in denim.





This is baby alpaca (yarn came from the Wooly Lamb, but I forget by who) sweater from Knit'nStyle. Its so soft and cuddly, almost a shame to finish it since it makes a great lap warmer at this point. I impressed myself with the key to the striping, saved me from having to go back and see what color goes where.



Sometimes, I do finish projects, next time I'll share a few of those

Thanks for hanging around, hope to see you soon
