Eat.Knit.Sleep

Ok, that was supposed to be like a classic rock band greeting a city -- "Hello New York!"  I guess it doesn't translate to prose, does it. Oh well.

So, how do you start doing this? I'm trying this whole knit blog thing. I'm an original, what can I say.

Do I talk about who I am? Jenny. Where I live? NJ, now, but moving to PA in June. What I do? I have a job.  My family? I live with my BF and my adorable dog, Oscar.

I'm in the process of buying my first house with said BF. I just checked; I can use his name (which is Carlos, but I call him Andre).  This is a nervewracking experience to say the least, so I have to give a shoutout to every unmarried couple who has done this. I'm not trying to diminish the accomplishments of married couples, but Hey, you kind of dealt with the scary committment stuff when you tied the knot, no?

I'm knitting the chickcami right now from the awesome Bonne Marie: Click here for pattern

After having some issues with guage, and apparently smoking crack the first time I cast on, I've finally gotten almost to the raglan decreases, and I've really enjoyed knitting this. (I'll hope to have some pictures up for you tomorrow -- I have to borrow the boy's camera) I'm using some delicious yarn purchased from the WEBS anniversary sale: Artful Yarns Serenade. It's a soft cotton and angora (who'dve thunk) blend, but it sheds like crazy. 

Here's the link at WEBS: Color 6001 -- beautiful in person

Anyway, I'm being told that dinner is ready, and Oscar is ready, willing and able to take my place if I don't come over. It smells good . (Thanks, babe).

I'm excited to share some of myself with you all, and I'm excited to be a part of the upcoming Secret Pal 5. When I learn how to put buttons up, I will.

'Till next time . . .
