and knit 'til it's done - 

172 projects in my Ravelry queue! 

Well, except that I can't knit much...not with this...

...so, there are still 173. Maybe more.

Why more? Well, what has actually been happening these past 18 days is that I've been ADDING more projects that I want to knit to my queue...I can add things just fine with one hand...sigh!

Oh, well! I can still knit small, flat things...like dishcloths and scarves...for short spurts. Of course, the relative lack of knitting makes for very boring blog posts. I mean, I wouldn't blame you if you just ran off to enter a contest or something exciting like that. 

See what I did there? (eyebrows up-and-down, up-and-down) 
You've still got time to enter...until midnight!

I go to the doc on Wednesday to see how much longer 'til my hand makes bail...hey! I have an idea...I'll announce the contest winner that morning..you know, for good luck! So thanks for stopping by! Enter the contest, and tune in Wednesday to see if you've won!!!

Until then, Knit in Good Health!!!

It's all downhill from here...

First of all, don't forget THE CONTEST!!! Head over here to enter with a comment on post #500, OR send me an email at PrettyKnittyJewelry[at]yahoo[dot]com (remove brackets and add in the appropriate symbols) to enter before the end of the month! Extra entries if you share the contest via your own blog, Facebook or Twitter...Good Luck!

As you know, I am three fingers short of 10, so I'll try to keep the typing to a minimum. After all, I have a full day of typing ahead of me in the office, and I'd hate to tire out my one good hand before 9:30! But really, how many words do I need to say that she LOVES slides?!?

She loves big slides...

Small slides...

Curvy slides...

And she especially loves a slide that ends in water!

After all that fun, she also loves a good hamburger! Being the center of our attention ain't half-bad either!

Boy, oh boy! We had a great visit this month, and I miss them like crazy, but I know our next visit will be here sooner than I think! Until then, I'll just keep gazing at the photos, and treasuring our new memories of that darling girl. =D And as soon as I can knit again, I'll distract myself with yarn...it's what I do. :)

Thanks for stopping by! While you're here, remember to enter the contest! And, until next time, Knit in Good Health!

Finished last week...

A sweater for a Peanut. :)

I wish I had a picture of her in the sweater...

...but it's hard to catch and dress a 2-year-old with just one hand! It's even harder to get this particular little cutie let me take "pickers" of her in the sweater! But this stretchy placket is designed so she can "do it myself, Gamma!"

Yep. She can put it on by herself, and she can take it off by herself. And she can toss it in the air, or to the floor...all by herself! For a freshly finished garment, this is one tired sweater!

Now, since my knitting is limited, let me live vicariously through YOUR crafting! What have you been doing in your crafting/knitting/sewing rooms?!? 

500 Blog Posts?!? CONTEST!!!

In honor of my 500th blog post (OMGosh! 500? How does that happen???), and to celebrate that I have not sustained any injuries while blogging these 500 posts, let's have a contest!

***And the crowd goes wild!!!***

Let's make it a trivia contest! Let's make it Pretty trivia! And let's make the prize a bit of Pretty Knitty Jewelry for you, with a nod to the fast-approaching fall season! 

A 100-row, knitting row counter (with fully illustrated instructions)...

...and some stitch markers for you (2 red delicious apples and a little birdhouse)...

...and a little yarny goodness as well (2 skeins of worsted-weight Malabrigo, one in the Applewood colorway, and the other in Sotobosque)!

Even though the shop has been closed for over a year, Pretty still enjoys dabbling in the jewelry, and sharing with YOU!

So, leave me a comment with the answers to these questions, and you will be entered into the drawing! Bonus entry when you share the contest with your friends...via Facebook or Twitter (see link at right, just under the hexipuff counter)...and then come to tell me about it! The contest will close on Aug 31st, so you've got about 10 days to enter!

Here are the questions:
1. What is my current favorite podcast? (hint: it's a video podcast)
2. What is YOUR favorite podcast?

Good Luck, and Knit in Good Health!
