Some things are unduly difficult...

Like starting this blog, for instance. I have been contemplating the idea of this blog for a while and have been kicking around a few names for it. I begged the hubby for help, as he is ridiculously clever - his first suggestion "clicking needles" was just him being snarky. "Knitting is the new rad" was good enough to give me pause, but was more HIM than ME...so I went to my dear friend and coworker for help. Together we came up with a few gems, among them was my personal favorite "My friends don't call anymore because I knit." I took a quick poll (love the people I work with) and while it was voted most popular it was also deemed to be too lengthy for this humble blog - so "All I Talk About is Yarn" it is!

Since this is a KNITTING blog, I'll start things off right by posting what I have on my needles right now.

This is the Hoover Blanket. It has taken absolutely forever and I'm ALMOST done. Hopefully I can get some good knitting time in tonight and I'll be able to cast off this week. The baby that it is meant for (hubby's coworker) was born (or "extracted" as the hubby puts it) last Friday. They didn't find out the gender until the birth, so the green worked. It's a boy! Hopefully the little guy won't mind all the silly little mistakes I made. I almost don't want to gift this item but it would be a shame for something so soft and cushy to go to waste in the bottom of my FO bin. I can't wait to see it all blocked and done, and most importantly OFF THE NEEDLES!

So what's up next? Another Hoover Blanket, naturally :) This one is for someone I actually know and love dearly though plus I'm pretty pumped about the yarn I've chosen for her baby.
