I was sitting here tonight thinking how wonderful it is to have my Friday Night Knitting friends. I met them when I was having a tough time in my marriage. The way we laughed and they got my jokes and didn't mind that I was/am a bit loud and crazy and added a bit of adult humor made me know that we would all be friends. So two plus years later, I love them more than ever and some have made permanent places in my heart.
Even when our friendships were first starting, they promised to knit me every night if I left my husband. That was just the extra boost I needed to make good choices for myself.
Now I am only 3 semesters and 5 weeks away from being through nursing school, alone again, my dad is quickly progressing in the last stage of Alzheimer's, and sometimes when I just feel so overwhelmed and down,I know that Friday night is a comin and I am sure to feel loved and have some laughs. I think a good motto is that you don't have to feel great to come, but you will probably feel better when you leave. So here's to you my fabulous friends at Knitch...you know who you are....thank you for the wonderful addition to my life.

Ketchup!!
It's been a while since a post, but I am doing better!!!
This is an awesome pattern! Shamus from Knitty. I made only a couple of changes....I made a frog closure from Nicky Epstein instead of the ribbon and hooks idea. It was my first celtic braid and I am tickled with how it turned out. I used Cascade 220 tweed. Can't wait for it to get cold enough to wear it!!! Ahhhh knitting in Atlanta!
This is Brett and Claudia on the steps of the Stover House where we all spent a wonderful afternoon in honor of Claudia's Irwin.....she has the right idea!

National Talk Like a Pirate Day
In honor of National Talk Like a Pirate Day, I am posting on my blog!
What does that have to do with knitting you say? Well, I don't know.
But, I found a cool video on MSN and thought I would share it.

Holy Smoke
Wow I can't believe it was the first of May since my last blog! But summer school is over! Stats and Abnormal Psyc out of the way! Also, I spent 8 days being a sort of nurse at a camp for kids with organ transplants, kidney disease, etc. Before you go awww don't think for one minute that these kids are high energy crazies. I had seven 9 year old boys. Good grief! But I am back and realizing how rusty my knitting skills have gotten. I am starting a project for a friend's birthday. You know how knitting on a time line is, BUT after my 3rd start on the freaking thing, I have high hopes this round is the charm! HA! Also, I am in my new apartment and really liking it other than it is a bit hot. But it is July in Atlanta afterall. So if anyone is even reading this anymore, drop me a note and let me know what is shakin!

Free At Last!!!
By now you have probably heard me shouting from the rooftops! I am finished with my first year of nursing school! I have 3 B's for the semester and that makes me happy! I haven't worked this hard for B's since graduate music theory classes! Anyway, I am excited to have some time to knit. I spent most of the afternoon on Sunday outside and knitting. I have made peace with my red tweed and have gotten in the continental purling groove. I should be finished with the Samus sweater pretty soon. I have the right side completed and most of the back and left side. The braids are all done, so I will just have to do the sleeves. I am still trying to think of something cool for the closures. The pattern calls for grograin ribbon and hooks. Not gonna happen. After seeing the tiny cable on Doug's squeeze cheese, I am considering some kind of cable that overlaps and has button holes. hmmmm....
