I sit here working on some sketches for pattern ideas and such and I realize. I wrote last night and after I posted, I MADE A FRIGGIN HAT! I made a tri-color stripped hat with chunky wool yarn. AND I DID. I kinda made it up but kinda didn't. It looks kinda cute, but it's kinda big. I like it though. I'm watching Win A Date with Tad Hamilton with my mom waiting for a pizza to be delivered (I'm starving and in for the night).
Just thought I would make that announcement!

BACK!
NO I have not quit knitting..... I'm still knitting..... just been neglecting my blog for quite some time.
UPDATES UPDATES UPDATES!!!
Projects in the works. A very girly pink necktie for someone. Not sure who I'll give it to yet. Most likely my brother. It's my own design worked in the round, increasing out. It's made with my darling Sinfonia cotton yarn (100% mercerized cotton). Still working on it.
Here is a finished project. SOCKS! a pair of wool Magic Stripes socks (custom fitted ankle socks, I tinkered around with the pattern a little) very warm. I need to make more socks. I looked at sock books today after work. This pair is hanging out on the Christmas tree we put up recently.
An afghan I'm crocheting (that's right... it's crochet... I'm not ashamed) It's one skein in and I've bought another to continue working on it. I have a feeling I'll be working on this one for a few years. Be nice to have an afghan to pass down to my kids and grandkids.
LOOK! The kitten has gotten to where she likes sitting in my knitting basket....
I've recently purchased some new books. The Yarn Harlot's new book for example. I LOVE this book, Knitters go buy it! GO! NOW!
The DomiKnitrix's book rocks. Cute new patterns. I really like it. I've enjoyed reading it and the tips it offers.
NEW ISSUE OF KNIT.1. I have only one issue with this new issue. It no longer uses Lion Brand Yarns for every pattern. The patterns in this issue are not the best ever but they don't suck completely. I like how the editor made a point of telling readers that she hates Valentines Day. I hate it too. Anyway. New magazines are always cool
I've finished Katie's sweater... well almost completely finished it. I just need to sew the buttons on it and then I can give it to her. I haven't found the buttons I want. I want silver buttons (a muted silver, not shiny). The hoodie gave me a little bit of an issue but I got through it.
I don't have a picture of it but I'm working on a chenille scarf that's nice and fuzzy. I like it lots. Well I don't have anything witty to say so I guess I'll go now and take a bubble bath. BYE!
