So I haven't updated in a while. Whoops.
I've been working on the mitered mitten pattern from Elizabeth Zimmermann's "Knitter's Almanac". I love them, but I'm having a difficult time getting myself to knit when I have such wonderful books to read :)
I've been reading the Twilight series. They are amazing. I didn't realize how much I love vampires, haha! I finished the second book last night (I bought it on Tuesday!), and now I'm trying to get back into the Outlander series. We'll see if my resolve to not buy the new book lasts tonight while I'm at work.
Weaving is going well, I'm waiting on a new reed to get to the house. I have a 15 epi reed right now, and it's just too small to use for many things I want to make, so I ordered an 8 epi reed. I hope I get it soon, I want to weaving some beautiful scarves for my family for Christmas.
Anyways, I'm going to go be a lazy bum until I have to go to work.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUBS!
It is my dear husband's 26th birthday today! :) I'm just making a quick post in hopes that he'll read it and it'll make him smile.
Honey, I love you so much and I'm so thankful to have you in my life. I am the luckiest girl ever and I hope that you realize how much you mean to me!
I LOVE YOU!

Loom!
So I'm getting the loom! It's a 20" 4 harness table loom. It's super old, but apparently it's in excellent working condition. I just need to buy some heddles and clean it up. I AM SO EXCITED!
What do ya think? I love it already. I hope that I'm able to learn how to use it!
That's all I've got. I've got to get to bed after this episode of True Blood, I work at 8 tomorrow. Ick!

Weaving?!
So I put in a bid on a vintage 4 harness loom on ebay. I WANT IT SO BAD. I hope hope hope hope I get it. Then it's on to having hubs make a warping peg for me. He said it should be easy, so we'll see.
The hat/scarf/mitten set is almost done. The hat should be done tomorrow-ish and the scarf will be done shortly after that. The mittens are already finished! I'll post pictures of the whole thing once it's all done.
Something has been bothering me lately. I've gotten flack from a few different coworkers about being young and married. They seem to think that there is NO WAY I could have found the man I want to spend the rest of my life with at such a young age. I understand that it is rare, but does everyone have to come to me and ask "Why did you get married so young?! You should have dated lots more guys and make sure he's what you want!!" Ok. Why would I do that when I already know I want to be with him? That seems silly and a waste of time I could be spending with the man of my dreams. I wish people would just be happy for me. If I don't have a problem with it, if he doesn't, and neither of our families even thought for a second that this wasn't the right thing to do at the right time, then why do people who don't even know us? Bah.
Classes are getting mre difficult. :( I spend 8am-2pm yesterday working on school stuff. It was difficult! I did it though so I wouldn't have to worry about school work this weekend ;) I work tonight and tomorrow night, and then tonight after work I'm going to Bethany's to do some girlie hanging out stuff. I hope I feel better, as I'm getting a bit of a cold.
Hubs made sure I was breathing last night because the Nyquil knocked me out so hard, how cute.
That's all for now!
ETA: Wedding pictures are here: http://picasaweb.google.com/Krieger.Karen.L the ones with Cindy on them are ME.

Bloggity blog blog
Ok!
Right now, I'm knitting a hat/scarf/mitten set for Chris. He has been dying for it, and I've got 1/3 of the scarf done and almost a mitten done. Last time I tried knitting him a hat, it ended up being the right size for our two year old niece.
This Sunday, we're going to the Corn Maze! It's FIL's birthday, so we're going out there and then going back to the in-law's house and I'm making some beef barley soup for everyone. I hope that everyone has a good time and that it isn't freezing cold! Addie should have a good time running around in a corn field!
That's all I've got to say right now, I hope that everyone (all 0 people who read this) are having a good week and a great Friday!
