finally

ok so i said wednesday after the group meeting. unfortunately i didn't go. fuzzle was being a big pain and so we ended up going for a walk instead. *sigh* We have some sun today of all things. The past couple of days have been so blah with teh combination of rain and snow. There was no motivation for me whatsoever to get anything done. The only thing i've been focusing on knitting wise is that darn cardigan with it's miles of stockinette...but i will persevere with the help of the other ladies in the testing pool. They're getting their butts handed to them too. Soo much stockinette!!! ah!!

on the fo front i finished the sea star test knit and what a wonderful pattern it was! i'm just waiting for the pattern to go live now. It's linked to my page on ravelry but i don't know if the creator wants to let it out yet.
i have more pics up on rav about it too. so go check it out!

now i'm off to do some vacumming and making the bed while fuzzle is asleep. quiet is always a good thing around this house....




especially with mornings starting off like this!

bunny butts...

if you are looking for a cute hat to knit in general...go here...too cute! i had to make one for the fuzzle. I've been on a never ending search for cute hats lately. it all started when i was pregnant and made the cupcake hat by Chile con yarne. http://www.ravelry.com/projects/waffles28182/cupcake-hat . you can see it on my page here. i have to upload my pics on to my laptop so it's currently just on rav. but there will be action pics of it once fuzzle is big enough to wear it. I'm going to be test knitting a really cute one on rav. I've been apart of the free pattern testers group for a while now and have been making some really neat patterns and i can't wait to start this one...will post pics once i get the pattern started and get my camera program reinstalled to the laptop.

I hope everyone had a great Easter! mine was good we all had ham and chocolate and tons of my mom's famous coffee. My dad even rented Fantastic Mr. Fox. remember that book? the movie was good but a little weird with the added bits of story. loved the animation though. it reminded me of chicken run with the knitting chicken.

as the projects go... I'm working on bunny butts, the link for the pattern is in the title. i do implore you to check it out. I'm test knitting a secret cardigan for my mom. it's called the sea foam cardie. will post picture but can't promise anything else until it's released.
and the grapefruit socks are still languishing around...will i ever settle down to work on them who knows....definitely not while fuzzle is awake. too intensive.

late into the night....

The fuzzle is asleep and so is the llama. Both snoring comfortably I might add. I'm plodding along on the lace wedge anklets from the new creative knitting I got the other day. I finally got Time Warner out here to install high speed so I can actually get some things done on the compy too. I'll add pictures soon of the socks. I'm also planning on going to the knitters fantasy weekend in Ohio. It's on a weekend so I'm going to send fuzzle off to gramme's and run away for a Saturday of yummy yarn, food, and hopefully a nostalgic trip to hobby lobby! My friend Erica agreed to go with me as long as there is some kind of scrapbook side trip involved. Black mail for sure. If anyone is planning on going let me know! Would be glad to carpool! If anyone follows me and is on Ravelry sign up for the knitter's fantasy weekend group. They have directions and a list of vendors that will be at the yarn market. I've also been up to a whole bunch of things and have been trying to update pictures and whatnot on there. I suggest you check my page out. I'm not the best photographer but eh, It gets the job done when I need pictures. Starting on Fridays there will be a new theme around here. The theme is fuzzle Friday! She's been up to all kinds of cute things and has found her feet and mommy got a new memory card! Plus Aunt Kati figured out how to go from 11 pictures to over 1000 and made me feel stupid....(cameras are not my friend sometimes. ) That and gramme will be happy that more pictures than she could ever want will now suddenly be in her inbox. LMAO!

Now I'm off to finish the gusset on the grapefruit colored sock...ah...refreshing!
