quick photo update

Fortunately, even though I'm putting lots of overtime in at work, it also means i get to put in lots of knitting time. I finished the above project in about 2.5 days! it's just a sneak peak for now, but there will be more soon, and more pictures too ;)

Whew!

I feel like i always begin posts by telling you about how busy I've been, or how busy things are, or whatever. Anyway. This post is absolutely no exception.

Work has me running a little ragged. We're short staffed and everyone is pulling lots of mandatory overtime hours (mandatory sounds so unkind, like they're cracking whips over our heads and whatnot, that's really not the case - my manager even filled up a large drawer with all kinds of lunch stuff and snacks to make it easier on us until we're past all his hullaballoo).

That being said, I was finally able to afford this years first big, grownup purchase. No, it's not a car (yet), but i got myself a pretty new camera. I'm now the proud owner of a Nikon D3000. i know it could have been fancier, believe me, but this camera was made for me ;)

Anyway. I don't have a lot of cohesive thoughts right now, but i do have a lot of photos.

Every so often, a really simple idea jingles around in your head for a little while. Sometimes you even act on it (and sometimes it has mediocre results due to mediocre materials, but that's another story).

The above colors are part of an upcoming project I'm just a little bit excited about, and I'm anticipating the day I come home from work to see a box waiting just for me!

Other than that, I've taken my "vacation time" (read: no particularly pressing projects on the needles) to finish up some WIPs and knit a few socks. no, seriously, i've finished two pairs and 1 sock of 2 other pairs. I don't even know what got in to me. But, come winter, I'm going to have toastywarm feet ;)

Also, I recently added google analytics code to my blog because i was very curious. I'm very excited to say, there's actually people reading! So, thanks guys! I'll try to be a bit more talkative :)
