Pod Cast Episode 8!!

Well, I finally have enough energy this morning to get a few of the things together that I've been wanting to talk about since the last episode.  I have no magazines to review this episode, mainly because I have not read one single magazine for months!  I have been buying them, and have started a collection on the coffee table that just keeps getting higher and higher. I know I am missing out on some great tips and yarns and patterns, so I hope to feel up to digging into them soon! In the past episodes, I listed each magazine in the corresponding blog post with a link to the web site for each magazine.  I have decided to just add a list to the side of the blog of the magazines I typically read, along with any others that I happen to come across I think you may find interesting.  I still plan to talk about magazines in future pod cast episodes, there will just not be a link within the blog post.  If you are interested in a magazine, you can just follow the link in the side bar.  I will try to have that done as soon as I can.

Still not knitting

I know it has been forever since I posted a new podcast, or comment... or video.  I had so many plans and ideas, but have gotten very side tracked.  With good reason, though.  But first, I did have a question.  What kind of yarn did I use in my "Elongated Stitch video?  Just plain old Lily Sugar n Cream cotton yarn.    Ok... so why haven't I been around lately?  Well, you might have guessed if you have scrolled down to the bottom of the blog recently.  Around the end of November / beginning of December, I started getting extremely tired.  So tired that I was falling asleep around 8 PM and still could barely drag myself out of bed in the morning to get to work on time.  On the weekends, I was sleeping in and as soon as I got up, I would sit on the couch and almost immediately fall asleep again.  That is so not me.

Long Time No Knit

I apologize for being away for so long.  I was in need of a little break.  I have had a little something going on, which I am very excited about and will be sharing with you shortly.  The next episode of the podcast will be up soon.  I have the first part of the next Mystery Knitting Project ready for you as well.  I have lots to get ready for the next podcast, and so will be working on that over the next several days.  I can't wait to get back into the swing of things!

Episode 7

Welcome to Episode 7 of the Sapphires-N-Purls podcast!  In addition to what I have been up to lately, below are links to everything I talk about in this episode.

I finally finished the dog sweater for my sister's friend!  I will be putting it in the mail this weekend.  I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.  I didn't use a pattern, I just kind of winged it, and sure hope it fits!
