It's almost time....

Time to leave for our college visit trip, and for my 2 year Blogiversary on the 16th.

We are visiting Maine Maritime Academy (he's already been accepted to and we hope he chooses to go here) and Virginia Military Institute...yikes! And from what I hear snow has arrived in Maine and a few other areas we'll be traveling through! It will be a very quick trip and hoping to visit a few relatives and at least one LYS!

My FO of the week so far---Unoriginal Hat

for Maggie, whose socks are close to being done also! I wanted her to have a wildly colored hat to go out and about with, or just stay home and warm.
100% pure wool in a Mystery Colorway (an RAK) but very soft. US 11 dpn's
I'm glad I made it for someone else first as I know I need it a bit bigger/longer.

Oh and what is this!! Um..er..*cough* my 1 knitting bag (well other than my normal tote I carry everywhere) I allowed myself for trip knitting. Also, this is my Blogiversary contest.

Inside are 2 sock WIP's from as far as last year, 1 M/D washcloth in progress, yarn for 4 more; 1 more Unoriginal hat for Moi!; yarn for 2 armwarmers--one short and one long; yarn for a penquin for DD, yarn for my holiday socks; for 10 coffee cozies for teacher gifts, and to start the fronts for my Tilted Duster. In the other knitting bag (not shown) is the 2nd Maggie sock, which will be finished first, and an SP gift. So quite the choice and potential there huh!! So your mission, should you choose to participate, is just how many FO's will I accomplish! We are talking about at least 8 hrs of back seat driving uh..knitting for 2 days each way and since no sewing machine around who knows. (T.Duster doesn't really count as I am not taking all the yarn) but hey, you could call it a 1/2 FO and the penguin too cause it won't get stuffed til I get home either...

Just comment on what your guess is and I'll post the finished pieces on the 16th and the winner who either guesses correctly or close enough and not over. You will have your choice of yarn or a needle case...heh and I promise it will not be the bird one that no one loves...well actually someone does love it..but more on that on another post. I'll just keep you in suspense till then!

Not sure if I'll get to post any on the road, but I'm taking le'camera and we'll see!

I'll have a small shop update tonite with a few cases, but most likely not until after the next episode of Tin Man is over. sigh..tin man ;) Yeah, I know I can record it, but I want to see it live!
