I had to rip all of the edging off of a baby blanket I was making
for my cousin. I only had one side done, but I messed up twice and got
mad because I couldn't unknit all the rows I needed to and ripped it
out. Thankfully we were at Starbucks (Bek, Bri, John, and me) and John
wound up the yarn I was ripping out which saved everyone from the
copious amounts of profanity that would have flowed from my lips if it
had gotten tangled. The good thing about this is that the blanket was
too small and needed more added to it before I did the edging anyway.
Now I can go ahead and add to it with the same color and then do the
edging in a different color once its bigger. But I'm still mad. Good thing she's not due for a while.
I have three things on needles/hooks at the moment.
- Socks
for dad- still only 1/3 done. I loathe socks! I don't know why. I think
the only thing worse than socks would be hand knitting a sweater with
fingerling weight yarn. Only a psycho would attempt such things. - Some
crocheted shrug from the happy hooker book - pretty sure this will be
in my "to do" pile until next summer. I'm not too fond of the yarn
color, or the pattern. I think I just wanted to make something that
wasn't an accessory. To hell with clothing, accessories are far more
fun to make! - The aforementioned baby blanket from hades.
- I'm not knitting these but I have to finish the three major victory shirts I started before we left.
- T-shirt orders from Bekahs work. (they will probably be coming in by droves soon, or so she says)
- Birthday presents and christmas presents for my very lucky friends and family members.
- Hello
Kitty slippers for a swap with a girl on craftster. I was so humbled
that someone would actually want something I made (that didn't know me)
that I said yes even though I knew I was super busy. She was ok with
this, so I should put more effort into finishing these for her by the
end of this month.
- many many patterns saved on my hard drive, just so I don't have idle hands.
