i'm here! i'm here!
so, secretly, in the midst of all of my internet issues at work and busy-ness everywhere else in my life, i am afraid that no one is going to read my little ol' blog anymore since i haven't posted in almost a week. and that makes me sad....so i'm really dedicating myself to posting every day now, even if it's a little hello, a little story, or a little pic. this is for me, so i can use this blog for what i want:to keep a record of what's going on....but, i love visitors!! and, in order to hook my readers today, I bring you:
(drumroll) A COMPLETED OBJECT! (ta-dah)
it's a cleo!
there i am wearing it!!
do you like it? i sure do. i will probably make it longer next time, and now that i know what i'm doing, it will be neater. but not bad for a first try,eh? i am now working another little black halter top in lion-brand microspun.....pattern courtesy of Sharlyn! can't wait to finish...and i taught someone how to knit today! a friend from work asked me to get lunch and teach her some basic knitting stuff (another co-worker wants to get together and knit some swatches for a quilt to donate to the women's shelter here) it was fun to show her, and it made me feel like i've come a long way since i started. i remember feeling like my 10 needles were SOOO big...
fun times. well, now that my internet at work is back up, i will be back reading everyone's blogs and checking in with my knittin' group. see ya tomorrow..when i answer my five fun interview questions from jen at monkeyknits ...

You did a great job, Carrie, and Cleo looks great on you! I love the color you chose. Very sophisticated :-)

Cleo looks great. I dig the pretty purple color. What yarn did you use?

it is a little holey...but I think I will end up sewing a little bit of material to reinforce the triangles. I had to get a pic up though, right? :)

I am not going to stop reading your blog... :) Cleo looks great, but aren't you scared of showing your boobies? It looks a little holey up top! Unless that's the look you're going for, then by all means... Rock on with your bad self! Risque! ;)

Yay! That looks so cute. I'm impressed; I didn't realize that you were so close to finishing something. Is that your house? I like the red walls...

Cleo looks great! You have convinced me....I'm going to knit myself a Cleo. Hopefully I'll have one finished before my vacation home.
