Now for some knitting`


So I decided to tackle a hat. my first hat. So on I went to RAvelry and found a great one skein noro swirl pattern. loved it. t hought Id make it for jason...well, tell me, jason, is it girlie????



I mean, I had to frog it. I used my 10circs when i meant to use my 8s because I only have up to 7 dpns, which i need to finish it off. well, you know how it is when you try to knit on a circle thats too damn big...it doesnt work!!!

so i frogged it. im thankful it only took a couple hours....so now i just have to see if jason thinks the colorway is too damn girlie - i think it is - because if he thinks so, im just going to size it down and make it for me. the plan was to originally make him this said hat,m and make a caliometry headband for me, buuuuuuuut....his head is huge...and this is girlie...so i dunno....i need input...

Well look what the cat(s) dragged in


The above cats...they felt the need to do this......





Its head was over by the door, along with some attatched innards...thanks guys. thanks.

picture heavy post!!!

So this will be a very picture heavy post!!!
Well, I made some coasters!!! Here is one of them, and it being in use!!! Thank god. I'm so tired of cleaning rings off that windowsill...now to just get my sister (and me) to use them! btw, a great project for using up scrap yarn!
The third version/last ever version for a while of the MDKAL on yahoo...i did three colors with this S&C yarn, and it reminded me how much I love P&C and how much better it is....I like the finished product...

Tried my hand at some entrelac, thanks to the ladies at the yahoo group, who provided a great tutorial. I probably wouldnt have tried it on my own, but I love it....I really do! MY sister has this ball of icky red heart stuff that hurts my hands to knit with, but she adores it, and it is a pretty color way...I want to see if I can make something out of it for her....using...entrelac! I used a diasy ombre h ere, not the best choice, too light to pop, really. but i have a cone and then some left from a project...i got overzealous...i dont actually like the colorway....


Btw, dad had this smart idea of making cookeis and leaving them on the counter to cool with 2 pmsing teens (well, maybe I'm not) in the house...haha!!
