Isabella: Back and Front

Here is the back of my tank. I know that it looks like it is 20 feet long, but I assure you that it is the perfect length. I did not bind off as the directions stated and I plan only to bind off the neck after I finish the front to double check the neck line decreases that I altered. I am loving this tank and can't wait to finish it. It will be a month on the 4th since I started this and I do hope to finish before the end of May. Keep your fingers crossed ( I need all the help I can get).

Here is the beginning of of the front. I am so far cruising right along. After this post I plan on sitting myself down for some series knitting time. Aren't the Magnolia Trees behind my tank beautiful? I'm trying to be a little artsy in my photos (emphasis on the trying). It was beautiful here today in Boston.

On the none knitting front I wanted to show off my new haircut....

Also be on the look out for a post on on my 'Shape It' summer goals. My friend Anne and I are going to be posting and encouraging each other on getting in shape this summer. Although I know this is a knitting blog, it is also were I get lots of support, so I thought what a perfect place!!!

I got my Sockapalooza pal (further to be referred to as Sockza, thanks Chan) and I am so excited about finding the perfect yarn and pattern for her.

Happy Socks, Knitting, and SUMMER!

Spring Into Summer: Dishcloth Swap Contest

I just signed up for the "Spring into Summer - Dishcloth Exchange" and was asked to write what I am looking forward to most about the summer. So here it goes....

I am looking forward to being outside riding my bike, walking around
the city, sitting in the park knitting before work, 
"Shakespeare in the Park" (a free festival here in Boston, 'Midsummer Nights Dream'
this year, YES!), longer warmer nights, going on vacation to Austria, 
having visits from my sisters and friends, having parties (Passion Party), making ICE CREAM/SORBET and most of all I am looking forward to FLIP FlOPS, TANK TOPS, and SKIRTS!!!!
