Rip it. Rip it good.

So, after staring at my Cleaves, and trying it on again, I decided I don't like it. Never will. So I frogged it. And, in frogging, I found out how I twisted my stitches. As I was ripping along, all of a sudden my yarn turned from counterclockwise to clockwise. So. I think that's how I messed up. So Nic won't be able to help me fix it. But she can still help me on my new one. ;)

I knitted on my cobweb, and on my shrug that I put aside. I couldn't do 4 rows of the cobweb, but I think I got 2 repeats done on my shrug. I'm going to go work on that some more. At least I can see process on that one. :)

I've decided.

The blue is going to be a scarf. As is the purple cascade.

The Knitpicks palette is going to be for my fair isle socks, and my fair isle vest I will make.

That is all. :D

wooo! holiday loot!

My secrete pal rocks my socks with candy tarts!


I got goodies today. Yeah! Theres 4 balls of knit pick palette, and some lovely tidal pool colored alpaca, and some cascade... and candy! And the little box of scarves, and stitch markers

ooo... pretty... and AND theres more! Fun target yarn and...

A present for my puppy! She had to open it right away. My secret pal rocks my socks. I love her. :)

Pretty LIttle Pixie

So. I don't take pictures early in the moring. So I got my little pixie to model my Pixie hat.
Isn't that the cutest picture ever? Well. It is. I say so.
I used Jiffy yarn. Because it was a dollar. And I need to wash it. And It's the only stuff I could find that matched some fuzz. But then I ended up not using the fuzz. Oh well. I have plenty of baby pink fuzz now.


I must say. I do look cute in the hat. And I'm wearing it everywhere this winter. Even if I embarrass my husband. But he did say I looked cute in it. hehhe... I love silly hats.

I did something!

I made myself a hat.

I shall post pics later after I have cleaned my house. :)

It's a very pretty pink hat.

What else would you expect from me!

So I tried to knit on some things, but I'm just not in the mood. I want to start something new. But I have no idea what. I think I'm just various knids of bored with what I have going now. My lace shawl is killing me. I only have 5 rows done. And this is just the garter stitch part. :S yikes. I think I need to get a new row counter. That way I can have one for my sweater, and one for my lace project, and I shall not forget where I am.

Other then my hubby's socks and a xmas present and a few abonded scarves, I really have nothing exciting going on. Which is sad, because I have some lovely yarn sitting waiting to be a sweater (well, two piles of lovely yarn, waiting to be two sweaters, but who's counting.)

Ah well, maybe after my bath I'll be more inclined to knit.

socks!

I strated my hubbys' socks last night. I think they're going to be super cool. :)

That is all.

My friends are better then your friends. :)

So I went to visit Nic on thursday, and she took me yarn shopping. And she bought me presesnts and promised to help me knit. She's the bestest. :D She got me Adrienne Vittedini Fall 2004.So I can knit the sweater on the cover of the book. And I got enough yarn to make it. :) I'm so very excited.

This weekend I started a couple projects. I stareted working on a scarf for a xmas gift, and my shawl. I really should finish up the doggie sweater and one of my sweaters, but what the hell. I like having options when I sit down to knit.

Now I'm off to go buy my secrete pal a couple presents for this week, and some new shoes, because the niece ate my work shoes. Bad dog.

I'm done! And Disappoted! :(

Finished my Cleaves last night. I'm just not happy. :( There's a weird jig in the ribbing pattern, I think I may have to rip out and redo. And I think I need to make the ribbing longer too, it sits weird at the nipple level. :P

Here's a close up of the weird jig. I don't know what happened. I just noticed it last night when I finished binding it off. :p Maybe since I've visiting Nic today, she'll have and idea. I almost think it got a little tight there.... I don't know. I'm so bummed out! Anyway. I used lambs pride bluky in Lotus Pink. I love the yarn and I love the color and I still love the pattern. I just don't love mine.

I am yarn. Yarn I am.
