Since my birthday last weekend, it feels like there has not been a lot of time for knitting. This Saturday I find myself getting back into the groove. Oh and it must be mentioned...it is football time! Things are finished and other things are being worked on.
Another Arroyo. This white beauty was knit up for a dear friend who loves white. I have knit this pattern twice and there will probably be a third one in my future, since both have been given as gifts and I need to have one.
Stripey Sunday Swing socks have been completed for this groups's KAL. Can you say "Yay" to finished projects?
Two projects are clicking away on the needles for other September KALs. The Quill I mentioned in a previous post is going well. The progress pics don't look like much so I won't share them right now. For the Personal Sock Yarn Club and Sock Knitter Anonymous Group I have these socks being worked.
As you can see this weekend will be filled with yarn love. I wish everyone were so lucky!
Before I leave, I want to say thank you for all your wonderful birthday wishes. I loved reading all the birthday memories from those of you who entered the give-away. I won't be able to reply to all your sweet comments, just know they were enjoyed! You are all brilliant! I wanted to share with you a couple of lovely things I received. (The quilt was made by my mom, it brought me to tears. I am a complete sap!)
XO
Andi
Just a reminder if you still haven't entered the giveaway. See this post.
The drawing will be open till September 30th at midnight (PST), which is the official end of my birthday month. Yes, I do celebrate all month long! I will enter your comments into the random generator on October 1st.
Beautiful Arroyo and socks! It is stunning and classic in white. You have such a knack for choosing the perfect pattern for yarn; I would have never of thought to use Felici striping with a pattern like this, but I LOVE it :)
The quilt your mom made is so pretty :) I am sure it is so cozy too. The m&m's are awesome!
I'm glad you enjoyed your birthday!!

Your knitting is lovely as always. Sometimes when I'm working on a large project, I live vicariously through your FOs.

Happy Birthday month Miss Andi! (one can't hear that too often can they?) Your knitting always leaves me in awwww girl! I love the shawl...I've been wanting to start a shawl as I think it would look better wrapped around my shoulders than my green blanket with little white dog hairs on it.. hahaha~ I love the quilt your momma made you! You are truely blessed my friend~

I am glad you had a great birthday, and are able to get back into knitting. The white scarf/shawl looks lovely!
