photo's of FO's!

Ok.. so I promised them and here they are!



My lovely baby blanket, it looks decievingly small doesn't it..

here's a picture of me puting my big 9" foot on one corner for reference.



yeah... it's huge... just slightly.



And here is the baby hat modeled by my lovely hand. It's tiny and very VERY easy to knit up.

it only really took me a couple of hours, if that.

Today I was cleaning my room and organizing my costumes. I noticed that my Demeter and Rumpleteazer had become slightly... shall we say.. fragrant.

So I gave them a quick hand wash and draped them over the showercurtain rod to dry.

I have no idea why, but seeing them there amused me greatly and I decided to take a picture of them... it's also quite a good look at the fabric painting on them.



*grin* aren't they cute!

Anyway, that's it from me for now... still plucking away at my multi-di scarf and the etcy warmers... etcy warmers take presidence... however.... i need some relaxing knitting, which is what the scarf's for.

FO'S!!! Whee!

Whee! So I was productive so far this weekend.

Got the baby blanket FINALLY done! and the baby hat to go with it, i'll get pics tomorrow.

So now I'm currently working on the Etcetera Warmer commission I've got from Julianna.. whee, took me ages, but I finally figured out how to do the colours.

And my multi-directional scarf!

After that I've got costumes to work on... I pray I can get it all done in time.

Knit-A-Long!

Whee! ok so I was surfing around the net and I noticed that there happen to be a LOT of knit-a-longs happening...

Unfortunately, due to money issues, time, and the fact that I've got TONS of projects to do between now and christmas, I wasn't able to join any of them.

However, I wanted to be part of one... so.... I made one of my own!

It's found here and involves a multi-directional scarf!

It's a really pretty and simple pattern, come check it out and join if you want!

Meow!

Hee I finished my Kittyville Hat that I got the pattern for out of "Stitch 'n Bitch"... Erin thanks so much for telling me about this book!

so... here's what it looks like now..



Innit it cute? I love the camo yarn!



and a pic of the pompoms at the end of the ties.

Also........

I started my coworker's baby blanket... it's huge! The pattern calls to knit with two strands together, so I tried it, and it didn't look right. That's when I realized that the yarn I was using was thicker than the yarn they used and I only need to use one strand...

The origional try (which took me 2.5 hours to knit a few inches on it) got frogged, and now here's the new improved version...



So yeah.. I think it'll be cute..

I'm attempting crocheting.. it's a little harder than it looks..

but I'm hoping I figure it out soon.. want to make doilies for my mom, gramma and aunts this Christmas.

Pictures!

so... I finally got around to getting some pics done up of my current projects, go me!

so..



this first pic is the front of my backpack, my first real attempt with Fair Isle, but as you can see, i pulled it a bit tight.. oh well.. i have the rest of it done and just need to get it sewn together, maybe i'll do that tonight..




so here's my second project of recent times, and the only one finished... It's my winter kerchief that i'm going to wear at work. It's nice and warm right now, i hope it stays that way during the winter.



And my current project that I love so much! I started it last night and i'm almost done the main part! It's a Kittyville Hat from "Stitch 'n Bitch". I'm loving how the camo pattern is coming out with this yarn! Now I see why Erin loves it so much!



Last but not least, the yarn that's going to be used for a baby blanket and possibly a hat for my pregnant coworker.

hee! so that's it from me for now!

Some new work stuff..whee

Welp! so this week my hands have been ITCHING to knit...

I still have to stitch together my backpack (but i've found out I like knitting, not so much with the finishing, but it probably just needs practice)

So this week I knit up a kitschy kerchief from "Stitch 'n Bitch" and it looks pretty cool.. will do a good job of keeping sawdust out of my hair and hopefully keeping my ears warm during the winter at work.

And I went shopping yesterday, got some really nice Camoflauge yarn for a kitty hat that i'm making for me (it's so cool!) and some yarn for a baby blanket i'm making for a pregnant co-worker, as well as some yarn for presents, but since i'm not sure if the recipients of these presents actually read this blog, i'm not stating what they are...

but they'll be spiffy!

that's it from me!
