2010 Christmas progress

So the last post I made was frogged... so I redid it and frogged that too... so it makes sense to read "ALL" of the directions before I start complaining. So here is my current progress. Made some new stitch markers. (The other ones I posted are also "stitch markers" and "not stitch holders".) :D

Louie (My hubby) helped me make these. He drilled the holes. We picked up these shells from Beach. Only one didn't make it. It broke in half. I think it was too thick to drill through. Eh.. I still got quite a few! Will post my favorite one later. :D

The Surprise project!

So there are a handful of people who know what this is and who it is for. So I will be doing updates periodically. Soon enough you will see what it is. I'm excited! This is going to be awesome. I am using 4 strands of Lion Brand's Pound of Love held together and knitting on US 11. I started with a crochet loop cast on and CO 8 stitches. There is 2 balls of Pound of Love. This will be my largest project!

2nd scarf done!

Finally finished it! Yes. It has been knitted, weaved in strays, tied fringe (my first fringe), hand washed, blocked (my first time blocking!), taken pictures of, now posting and will be delivering very soon! 58 rows including BO, 59 including long tail cast on. I chose to bind off in pattern. So 600 stitches long * 59 rows = 35400 stitches to make this scarf. WOW! The scarf is so much softer after the wash! Amazing! Next project will be posting soon...I already started it.

My life is a tangled ball of yarn

My life is a tangled ball of yarn. Not just any yarn, more like a ball of 100% merino wool, multicolored. With pinks, purples, reds, oranges, golds, greens, blues, and browns. (More pinks, purples, and reds with some greens and browns...happy) A happy colored yarn (Machine wash on delicate, and line dry). I am mesmorized by the bright variegated colors, some not so bright, but life isn't always joyful.  (Not every ball of yarn is the same, some are more colorful, and some maybe more tangled than mine). Every ball has a beginning and an end. My yarn may have some knots, and be pieced together in some places. Regardless, my life is a beautiful tangled ball of yarn.

Test from my phone

My dog Chevy is a ham. (I really like this phrase, no seriously... I use it on the dog, and all 4 of my kids... and other peoples kids, dogs, pets, significant others. But really I hate ham. Yuck. My dad when I was little would cook it with Orange Juice or Sunny D. Most people who like ham would love the citrus flavor. But me, no! I much rather have turkey! That's another phrase that is funny. Turkey. He's a real turkey. Or are you chicken? Beef Cake... (That's an old one, that brings me back to Save by the Bell. When A.C. Slater was the hottest jock bad boy out there.) Why do we call people or pets food names? Are we going to start calling people filet minon?) He makes us laugh and really truly is funny.

Oops...

Here are the frog pictures.

Halloween 2010

So I veered away from my scarf project for 24 hours this weekend, to make Chevy a costume for his first Halloween. As you can see he was a Frog. It sure turned out awesome. :D He got so many compliments and laughs. I will be making another "To humiliate the dog" hat, but he'll be a deer with antlers. I also will be leaving holes for his ears so it'll stay on better.

A project outside of knitting.

So I kinda know how to sew, not well. But it gets the job done. With regards, I should find my sewing machine manual. With all said and done, I made my dog a bed. It took forever, because I couldn't find my fabric scissors and I was using a child's size safety sciccors instead. Then my sewing machine kept jamming on the fleece. Ah! It probably was too thick and on the wrong setting. Will make for later thoughts next time I sew with 6 layers of fleece. :D Anyways, I made him a new bed. Not only did he get a bed made special to his size for less than $6, but a blanket too! Turned out awesome and they match! He seems to like both! Super excited. Now I can throw away his first stinky and torn up round bed away and replace it with this new bright clean and washable one! Yay!

Being Broke doesn't pay...

...but projects that someone else pays for does. :D I get help pick out colors, the pattern, and I get to knit (or crochet) it! How amazing is that? The only thing is I have to give it up. But I feel like I am giving. It feels good to have my work sent to someone else. Like it's out there, where someone is enjoying it (or at least I hope) instead of in a box, in a drawer, or in an end table collecting dust. Lol.

Well here are some new pictures to the new scarf I am knitting. The cast on was a pain in the @$$! Took more than a day to get it right. I love long tail cast on's, but 600 sts... yeah. Meanwhile, the stitch holders, I made them about a year ago. Love 'em. Need to make some more! Enjoy.

Fall scarf 2 in 2010

I am using 3 balls of the Koigu KPPPM. 2 balls of the black multi-color (dye lot P326 145) and 1 ball of the green multi (dye lot P521 157). I will be knitting this in a Linen Stitch pattern I found on Ravelry. The pattern calls for 3 colors. But my friend wanted just the 2 colors. I am sure it is also going to be just as wonderful. Can't wait... the Casting On however is taking forever...600 sts. 8/ ... Lol!

Fall scarf 2010. Done!

The fall scarf was finished today! Super soft. And I know I am going to miss it. :( But it sure is beautiful1 :D
