Also I was tagged by Valerie awhile back. To list seven things about myself that no one knows. Well I don't know what no one knows, I'm mostly an open book, but here are some main things about me.

1. I (like Valerie) am extremely afraid of spiders. Not snakes, or mice, or whatever. Spiders.

2. I love sci-fi, fantasy stuff. Like the Lord of the Rings, Tad Williams books, mermaids and dragons.

3. I was a bookworm growing up, all I ever did was read.

4. I have always wanted to write a book, and have tried (at least a hundred times) unsuccessfully to write one. As in started and never finished.

5. I love thunderstorms, with lightning and thunder and downpours, the kind that last all day.

6. Being pregnant, although uneventful, was harder for me than giving birth/labor. I could do that a hundred times.

7. Wolves are my favorite animal, although they scared me to death growing up. They are beautiful, majestic, and misunderstood.

Ok so I'm supposed to tag 7 other people but I don't really know 7 other people to tag lol. So just pass it on!

On the knitting front:
I have finished the first chart on both of my spring things shawls and am patiently waiting on my crochet hook to place the beads. They are both so beautiful, I can't wait to finish them!

That's really all I've been doing lately...so until those are done lol, there won't be much new.

Oh and just so this isn't boring (all text), this is the shawl I started today to work on until I get my hook to finish the others. This yarn is gorgeous in this, I'm loving it so far and can't wait to finish it! (p.s.-it's some of Christine's yarn!)
