Knitting Swaps

I have discovered something really cool on Ravelry. I was looking through all the group they have and one of them caught my eye. It was called Swap On A Budget. I wasn't really sure what it was so I clicked on it and it is sooooo cool!! A bunch of people sign up to swap and you are given a partner. Then you research you partner via their Ravelry profile and/or blog and then you put together a little gift box full of knitting goodies!! Isn't that the best idea ever???? I signed up right away and I can't wait to find out who my partner is so I can go shopping! I also signed up for one called Knitter's Treasure Swap. One of the requirements is that you have to send them something you make, along with yarn and knitting accessories. Hmmmm, what could I make?? Won't figure that out until I get my partner and that isn't until the first week of July, but in the treasure one I get my partner tomorrow!!!. I will keep you posted on how it turns out. =)

My First Pattern Book

I know I promised pics from the beach and the game but I unfortunately forgot my camera at both event OOOPPPPSSSS!!!!! Oh well it doesn't matter because I have just purchased on Amazon.com a pattern book that I love!! It is call Fitted Knits

I went to the yarn store yesturday with Christina and I decided that it was time I find a pattern for my first sweater and this book has the prettiest patterns. The sweater I am going to make is called Boatneck Bluebell Sweater. Here is a pic.....

Isn't it soooo pretty!!! The color I picked out in a light aqua greeny blue color. I will posts pics of the yarn when I have a chance to take a picture. It is Cascade 220 and sooooo pretty, it is going to be perfect for the fall. Can't wait to get started, but I need to be with Christina because she knows how to read a pattern and fix my mistakes haha =P. When I start it I will post my progress =)

Beach Time!!

Oh ya baby!!! It has officially become beach season starting tomorrow and this is my season!!! It is going to like 90 degrees tomorrow and that is exactly where you are going to find me! Relaxing on the beach with my toes in the sand. I am so excited I could burst, by beach body however is not exactly what I want it to be, but that is my fault and now I have to deal....ickkkk.

I am going with my friend Lindsay to a beach near our house. It is not the best beach in the world but I dont feel like driving very far since I don't have A/C in my car, don't worry it is on my to do list!! I don't care where I am as long as I can hear the waves crash and smell the salty air!!

After the beach I believe I am seeing my Robert Gerard and then on Sunday me and Robert are going to the Red Sox game!! It is going to be really hot so we better drink lots of cold beer!! Haha, there will be pics of everything on Monday!!! =)
