Heather! Wow!

I love the cables. But what's LIME & VIOLETS. I'll have to explore more when I get internet time -- I have to pick up a kid in 15 minutes.

My neighbour copied a pattern of a afghan she would like to make for xmas for her mom as a gift for her, daisy one with panels. She'll buy the material she said and pay to do it.

Lime & Violet do a knitting podcast. They are on iTunes or you can use QuickTime to listen to the podcasts from their blog: http://www.limenviolet.blogspot.com

They just recently opened their own shop, selling yarns dyed by both Lime & Violet, as well as handspun yarns & handdyed roving.

Thanks for the Lime&Violets link. Since I don't have an ipod, I didn't have a clue what they meant by 'register.'

I am enjoying your blog. HOW do you manage to knit so much? What's your schedule? Do you only sleep 4 hours a night?

So many people ask me that...I should blog about it. I don't think I knit much at all. I must knit fast? I don't even pick up my knitting needles until around 2pm when I'm in the van waiting for the kids to get out of school. I have about 30-45 minutes of this every weekday.

4-5 days a week the kids play outside when they get home. That gives me another hour of knitting outside at the patio table while they play in the backyard.

Sometimes I knit for half an hour or so in the evenings, but only if there's something good on tv. And that's even less now because I work 3 nights a week.

I try to knit sometimes when I'm on the exercise bike. But more often than not, I find myself wanting to concentrate more on my workout than the knitting lol.

I don't get much knitting done from Friday night until Sunday morning because of work. Even Sunday's don't produce much knitting for me unless we have to go somewhere in the van. Then dh drives & I sneak in a couple of rows on the way to where ever.

On an average day, I'd say I knit less than 2 hours total.
