Ei Knit

I can not believe how long it has been since I have posted on my blog. Time sure flies when you are having fun! I do have some finished knits since I last posted…but not as many as I should have. I have slacked off a bit in my knitting lately…but I’ll be getting back on track soon, soon, soon!
First up is…
Blanket…the Cardigan...

I used Rowan Soft Tweed and this yarn is sooo soft!
This pattern is by Drops Design. It is 103-1 Jacket in Eskimo or Silke-Alpaca with A-shape. I’m pretty pleased with this cardigan.

Next up is…
Ei Lina…The Hat...

The yarn is filatura di Crosa Zara. I have worn this hat quite a bit and still no pilling! I love it!!

Breeze…The Sock...

One down…one to go. Eventually!

Fetching…The Fingerless mitts…

I made these for my Mom. She really loves these. I used Berroco Pure Merino Nuance. Lovely yarn.

Making Waves…The Socks…

I finally finished these socks! Woohoo!!!!

The Apres Surf Hoodie...

I’m knitting this using Rowan RYC Cashcotton 4 ply. Again, I love this yarn! Very soft & cozy!!! I am in love with this sweater, but haven’t worked on it for a while! The thing I love about this knit is that I think this sweater looks great on everyone…all body shapes!!

My latest one I’m working on is…
Vivian...

I’m using Madelinetosh DK. LOVE this yarn!

I’ve also been busy on another painting…
Pretty Lady...

The medium is pastel.
The latest one I’m working on is this…

Well there you have it. Eiknit is still alive and well!! I really miss blogging…so I will try to keep up with posting more regularly.
Have a fab night!!!!

When you are young…time drifts slowly by. As you get older…time starts flying by so fast that you just can’t keep up with it. I guess that’s the case with me. I have been a busy girl lately, as I’m sure everyone is. I have been trying to get flights together for Jordan (son) for aforeign exchange program in Japan. Kansai Gaidai University to be exact. He has been obsessed with going there for a long time. Well his dream just came true. He is leaving in January for LA to visit some friends & is then heading off to Osaka, Japan for 4 months. I’m so excited for him. Then there is lots of Holiday shopping, plans for getting our Holiday party together, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah…

On the Knitting Front...
I have slowly been working on Wall Street. I have 4 inches to go on the front and then I start the V-neck separation. I can’t wait to finish this handsome vest. It is the only present that my DH desires and I HAVE to get it done for Christmas to put under the tree. He is a hard one to get any gift ideas out of.
I also knit up a Chemo cap for a friends relative…

I used Patons 100% Merino wool.
I have not worked at all on Marina since Wall Street has to get done. This is the only gift I’m knitting for X-mas this year.

Workout News...
There is not much to tell you on this front. My back is still hurting enough that I really can’t work out like I was…yet. I have walked a few times…very slow…on the treadmill. That’s about it! I feel so out of shape. I can’t wait till I can start doing my usual workouts.

Heres a photo of our Birthday lunch at Cafe De Paris…

Moi, Heather &Lauren had a fabulous time. All our B-days are in November. Now if only Donna could have been there. She was out of town. We missed you D!

Here are some photos I’d like to share with you…
