Upon learning that many bloggers bestow new names upon their significant others, Chris was appalled to find out that I call him, well, Chris.
He has insisted that he should be "Sir Elbert Farnsworth," not to be confused with "Sir Albert Farnsworth" the "arrogant British colonel" from a random episode of Wagon Train, a TV series I didn't even realize existed until Chris started hating his name.
Take that up with your parental units, hun.
I could always call you dunder buns or muffin face or something equally ridiculous, you know!

Blanket: Complete!
It is complete!
I bought the yarn fall-ish last year, cast-on in December, started actually knitting in April, took a bit of a break in June, and as of July 2nd at about 10:15PM, it is finished!
I'm quite happy with the way it turned out.
Now, in a couple of years when we decide to have a kid, I don't have to worry about it lacking something handmade from its mom.
I've completed a lot of projects recently. I guess that means it is time to start a few new ones!

Cowly Cowly Cowwwwl
I've been busy lately!
I'm working on my grades 6-12 English Language Arts teaching certification.
So far, so good. :)
I still have a little bit of time to knit, and, of course, I have too many projects going on at once. I started the Elizabeth Cowl (search on Ravelry or look in the Blue Sky Alpacas catalog).
I have to say, I love Blue Sky Alpaca yarns.
They have a beautiful multicolored cotton that I saw online and immediately needed. It's the Blue Sky Alpaca Multi Cotton in the Marmalade colorway.
Just look at those colors!
They're even prettier (and a bit lighter) in person, I promise. (If there is one thing I have trouble getting the hang of, it is photography. Not a good thing if I am trying to blog, is it?)
Once I finish the baby blanket I'm working on now (only about three more inches to go! I will finish soon), I might make a simple one from another colorway of the multi cotton. Maybe a green colorway. I'd either use all garter stitch or stockinette stitch with a garter or seed stitch border.
I'll let you know if I get around to doing it. I have a few other projects to start, and I need to start thinking about what Christmas knitting I'll be doing this year.
