Still Knit'n On My Cardi!

Hello all my blogsters! I bring to you the progress I have made on my Stitch Diva Endless Knit Cardi. I really am lovin this yarn, it's soft, full of color, and really shows off the texture of the sweater. I am now approaching the part of the sweater that is most challenging. Yes, I think I can do it...but my knitting skills are not nearly as sharp as my crocheting. Nevertheless, I feel confident that I can do it!!!

Here is a closeup that shows the texture and color of the yarn.

It's like a chocolate, yarny landscape!

Okay, not to switch gears or anything, but today as I was driving home from work I made an observation about myself. So, I am listening to talk radio...and actually getting into it. No longer do I hop from station to station to listen to the different types of music. It's either talk radio or a CD, which is pretty much exclusively 70s and 80s music, I think this morning it was Anita Baker...great CD by the way! Then I started thinking about music. Which then led me to thinking about the music award clip I saw on television where Taylor Swift won an award (which I hadn't heard of either). And I thought, who the hell is Kanye West? Never heard of the guy! (I could almost hear my parents saying the same thing many years ago when I would talk about some song I had heard on the radio!) (Oh, I still do not know what this Kanye West guy does, other than he has some kind of problem!) The point to this ramble...my observation...I am getting old!! Yikes!!! I can no longer see to do anything without my specs, which I have to wear over top my contacts. The aches and pains have also caught my attention. Staying up late is no longer something I do all the time. I love the old reruns on Nick at Night! This list could go on and on. I am on the back side of 40, and that 50 sign is not too far off, how the heck did I get here! When did my biological clock stop ticking!!?? LOL!

I don't know if there is any point in telling y'all this...it's just interesting to me. I think about my mom, and my grandma...and I have so much so much more appreciation for them!! Maybe this is part of "being my age" and being female. But despite it all, I will carry a crochet hook and some yarn with me as long as I am on this earth! And I have plenty of granny square blankets I can carry to the rest home with me to keep me warm when I go to the rest home. LOL!!!

I know...TMI...so I will stop rambling.

On a crochet note, and idea popped into my head for another granny bag as I was getting ready for work. Maybe I can bring it to you soon, after I finish up these next couple of projects!

I want to leave you with a cute little picture of my Girlie Dog! She absolutely hates the camera, which is so frustrating for me!

Notice she is not looking into the camera! Have I tramatized the poor thing?

Good evening to all of you! I am going to get in some rows on my sweater before time to go to bed!
