For His Glory

New Yarn/I've been tagged

I have been so excited for this new Knitpicks order to come.  It.has.taken.forever.  It sat in the Atlanta Sortation Facility all week!  It finally left yesterday and was delivered to me today!  Yee-haw!  Can you see my new Options needles?  I can't wait to check 'em out.  I made myself wait until I accomplished some chores first.  Yuck.  :-)  Starting at the top, you'll see Andian Silk in Sangria.  I plan to make Fetching.  I may even cast-on tonight.  I need to see if I have the right size needles.  Next, you'll see Gloss in Woodland Sage.  I can't remember what I planned to use this for, maybe just a stash builder?  It feels so soft.  Above Gloss, you'll see one skein of Essential Tweed in Plum.  I can't believe I only ordered one.  How dumb is that?  I was supposed to order two so I can make a pair of Aran Braided socks.  .Next, you'll see a boatload of Pallette.  Any guesses what I plan to do with this?  Knitted Babes.  I hope they're as fun as they look!  :-)  So, I have a bunch of fun stuff to play with tonight.  I did finish a dishcloth last night.  Very easy and quick.  I need to make a match, then I'll post a picture.  I need to mail these by Tuesday or Wednesday, so stay tuned.  :-)

 

I've been tagged!......Thanks Becca.  :-) 

1.  ONE HOMESCHOOL BOOK YOU HAVE ENJOYED:

The Well-Trained Mind.  Sometimes it's information over-load, but I have enjoyed it and reference it often.

2.  ONE SOURCE YOU WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT:

The internet.  I don't know how people schooled without it.  I search for reviews, ask questions on message boards, peruse knitting patterns.  Oops.  That's not school.  :-) 

3.  ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH YOU HAD NEVER BOUGHT:

Hmmmmm....I'm not sure I can think of anything right this moment.  We have used most of what we bought.  We might not always use it to it's fullest potential, but we do use it. 

4.  ONE RESOURCE YOU ENJOYED LAST YEAR:

Last year wasn't a normal school year for us, as we were in NY for a good portion of it.  So, I'll leave this question unanswered.

5.  ONE RESOURCE YOU'LL BE USING NEXT YEAR:

Saxon 5/6 with Katie.  Along with the DIVE CDs.  I'm thinking about switching Devin over to Saxon too.  Currently we're  using Bob Jones.  I have no issues with BJ except for the fact that there isn't enough review.  So, we will see.

6.  ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULD LIKE TO BUY:

A keyboard.  Becca, when you buy that one from Sam's, wanna sell us your old one?  heehee

7.  ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH EXISTED:

The perfect lesson plan software.  Or actually, maybe I just want someone who can make the plans for me? 

8,  ONE HOMESCHOOL CATALOG YOU ENJOY READING:

Definitely Sonlight.  I love to look at the reading lists.

9.  ONE WEBSITE YOU USE REGULARLY:

Google.  It is my preferred seach engine.  I use it daily.  The kids even google.  What they didn't know, is I can follow their tracks.  lol

10.  TAG OTHER HOMESCHOOLERS:

How about Melissa.  :-)

Until next time..........

Wow great yarn! It is beautiful. I wish I could knit, but so far I haven't given it more than a couple of lame attempts. Maybe one day *lol*
many blessings

What do you mean you don't know if you'll have the right size needles??? You just bought every size needle! The Andean Silk looks beautiful. Your Fetchings will be so soft.

See you tomorrow!
