So while surfing blogs, I found this quiz. Took the quiz… Now you take the quiz and let me know who you are! Ironically, I’m Lizzy.

:: L I Z Z Y ::

You are Elizabeth Bennet of Pride & Prejudice! You are intelligent, witty, and tremendously attractive. You have a good head on your shoulders, and oftentimes find yourself the lone beacon of reason in a sea of silliness. You take great pleasure in many things. You are proficient in nearly all of them, though you will never own it. Lest you seem too perfect, you have a tendency toward prejudgement that serves you very ill indeed.

Elizabeth Bennet!

Thanks everyone… October 5, 2007

Thanks to all the knitting buds who listened to my crying tonight. I’ve created a Curse Knitting Page, but didn’t have any time to develop it. I hope to work on it over the next week. If you have any stories to share, please post. Oh, and any curses that you want to send towards my competitors is greatly welcome. I also noticed that I haven’t posted pics of the Ladies in a while. Here they are on Laila’s 10th Birthday chasing birds in the yard.

In preparation for the day that I finally get on that one site that starts with an “R”, I’m starting to play with Flickr. There are a lot of widgets and plug-ins for my Wordpress software, but I’m trying to take baby steps right now. So let’s see how this goes….

First up - I finally have pictures of my Sursa Shawl. Yeah. I found the pattern during my search for the Klaralund Pattern. It was in the same book and I decided that I liked the Shawl better. I made it with 8 skeins of Noro Silk Garden in 87. The pattern called for 5 or so, but I matched my two strands, so it took a bit more and mine is just a tad bigger than the instructions. The ruffle is made out of 4 skeins of Noro Cash Iroha in color 101. I love it and recommend that all knitters make one. It is very easy and you could use just about any yarn. It is a project that you make anywhere, because there isn’t any counting. Pay no attention to the model, but do check out the cool Gita Marie Sheep Shawl Pin!

Now here is my progress on my version of the Kristin’s Favorite Carry All. I’m 44 rows in! Half way through the pattern. I’m using Cascade Pastaza in Black, Coral and Cream. No Cream yet. I’ve charted the pattern in Excel. Email me if you want instructions on how to do that. I’m trying to get a KAL going with the group at Four Ladies. Please join in!!!

I also got a cool new knitting bag at Funk in the City. It was a great buy and is made from Amy Bitler Fabric in greens and orange. Love it!!! And I didn’t have to make it!!
