February is almost over....

Sad to say, but another month is almost gone by. I don't know where the time is going. Between working full time and going to school full time, I don't have much time left for anything else!

Working on some knit dishcloths for my kitchen right now :) Had to finally get rid of a bunch of old ones so time to restock the supply!

We are having another winter storm. Started off today with freezing rain, that has since changed to snow. They are calling for 4-7 inches of snow on top of the ice from earlier today. It is a MESS outside!!

Knit Fingerless Gloves

Here's a picture of the fingerless gloves I finished a couple of days ago! My first time knitting something like this. I really like the way that they turned out for my first attempt at them. These are going to a friend in a craft group for a fingerless glove swap. Sure hope she likes them as much as I do!

Seems I have been very lax about keeping up with my blog of late! :)  Winter is here, and I am already tired of cold and snow!

We had a very nice Christmas and nice New Year. Getting things ready for the next semester of school to start Jan. 18.  This will be my 4th semester and i am really enjoying furthering my education!

Taking some time to get some knitting done this week........i have gotten lax with it too it seems! Time to get back on track!!!
