keep it hidden

I am thinking that if I keep the baby blanket hidden.... I won't have to finish it...... I still haven't sewn the flowers on the stupid thing and I HATE the border..... I tried to complete the border and realized exactly how much useless work it would be.... The blanket will not have a pink stitch border..... the only pink on the blanket will be the flowers that I will sew on tonight.... maybe..... I should sew them on..... but I don't know if I want to...... maybe I'll take it to work with me and sew them on there while I wait to do my review for work.....

I haven't touched the blanket in over a week.... and I am also proud to say that I finished the socks and have started another.... I am thinking about giving up on the drop stitch vest (it just doesn't seem interesting to me anymore..... sad.... I know.....) but it's still on the needles to it still has hope of being a finished project..... maybe......

The dress is coming along.... still knitting..... and I made a hat as a way of taking a break......

Jiffy sweater..... dear God...... I am starting to HATE that thing..... I am still working on the collar and cowl and it's mind numbing..... it's too repetative and I have fallen into the knitting black hole..... that moment in knitting where you knit forever yet the piece doesn't grow..... that's why it is sitting on the floor in my room...... I will finish it one day I promise.... it's just so BORING!

no pictures which makes this post really boring but I only have so many hours in a day (and I actually got up at 8 today even though I didn't have to.... I'm proud of myself for getting up and accomplishing something..... even if it was homework...... and not knitting)

good luck my darlings

some things are done..... others.... well.... not so much

Ok..... so I've almost completely finished the baby blanket..... the knitting part is done.... all that's left is to finish the details (sewing the flowers on etc....) I would have a picture but the blanket is in the dryer as we speak

I finished a sock and once again.... am without a picture of the finished object..... sad.... however I
have this


















It's an almost completely finished sock that tagged along with me to a meeting with a good friend at the Conyers Starbucks. He made me put it away claiming that I couldn't knit and have a serious talk at the same time..... silly boy.... how little the non knitters know......

However happy the finished sock has made me.... I must cast on once again for the second sock..... and then I will have a pair of pink cotton socks.... yummy.... well off for now b/c I need to study for an exam today....

something so exciting that I could not keep it to myself

ok...... so I just read in Vogue Knitting that a product design student has invented knitting needles that not only keep track of how many rows have been knit, but also how many stitches have been knit. THAT'S F#&%ING AMAZING! think about it...... I could knit without having to stop after each row to click my counter...... why has this not been invented before... this is exciting and i know it's nerdy of me to think so

I'm doing well

Well I am making progress.....

here is the sock I've been working on.... I turned the heel tonight.... looking good......

















And here is the yarn I bought on clearance today at Hobby Lobby..... It will soon be made into two knitted baby sweaters.... in fact I've already started on one....

















As for the baby blanket? well I've finished up to row 106 of 160.... the only reason I don't have a picture is b/c i have wrapped it up for the night and am just to lazy to get it back out again to take a picture..... won't be long till that is a finished work..... I actually feel like I am accomplishing something..... go me......

pictures that are long overdue

ok ok..... pictures of the progress


Jiffy sweater collar


















new cotton sock

And that my friends is my update
