whoo hoo back to knitting life!

So I am finally a college graduate as of today! I got ropes for Honors (I was .01 away from highest honors lol) and Alpha Beta Kappa, and also got awards for being a speaker at graduation and for being the graduate of the quarter. I am so proud of myself and everyone else that graduated today! Now I can get back to my knitting that I have sorely neglected for about two years :)

Ya, it's been awhile

Been busy with school, I start my last quarter tonight.. whoo hoo!
I had a two week break and started another sweater, it might look a little familiar since I did it in black about two years ago, I am loving it in red!

a quick update

so a quick update...my nephew, Anthony, died early last month, i attended his funeral at the end of august, got a mini vacation for four days with no kids or husband. I did get some knitting done while i was there due to having no school that week..i got the back and front of my sweater done and have started the sleaves. School is going great. I start the fourth of eight quarters on wed..and so far have gotten straight A's(highest honors) every quarter..I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!

Not Knitting

I know, it's not knitting content... but I have absolutely no time to knit at the moment. However I must show off my accomplishment!!! This was last quarter. At the moment we have 3 weeks left in this quarter and I have 97% in Math, 98% in Drafting and 98% in Auto CAD. I am so excited and proud that I am doing so well :) :)

decided to do it

Still Alive

So christmas is over... hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.. kids had a great time, santa came through for them for sure lol I even got the yarn for my new sweater from my wonderful mother in law :) School starts up again for me on monday so I have been knitting away as fast as I can so I can have most of it done by then and just focus on school.. here is what I have gotten done so far, the front and back stop at the chest and then you knit a sideways piece that is connected to it then you pick up stiches and work the rest of the top.. front bottom done, back bottom halfway done. picture sucks, but it was done on my cell so I will forgive it:)

I am doing it in Knitpicks Cotlin in moroccan red.. i just love it and CANNOT wait to wear it lol

Thank you ANNE!

Happy Holidays everyone, hope you all have a safe and festive one. I finished my sweater, can't find my camera to take a pic, but it fits great and I love it.. can only wear it for like 5 mins cuz it so warm! I start school on wed, I am really excited. Eryka was named student of the quarter, and got honor roll.. I am so proud of her and its her first year of middle school!! She is learning that hard work does pay off lol
