Starting Up A New Project

I am now working on a Winged Heart Tattoo for my mom. I was having so much trouble increasing on the first few rows, but I finally got it. I just stopped pulling the yarn so tight and worked it out. The pattern calls for making two seperate hearts and then sewing them together. I finished one heart last night. I'm planning on making the other heart today.

I'm still knitting up the cat toys! They're addicting, because they're so quick and easy!

I'm planning on knitting my aunt Brenda a scarf next =)

A few FOs

I finished the scarf. My mom loves it. I already have requests from a couple aunts for scarves. I took a picture with my mom's digital camera so it's a better quality.

I told my mom she had to be my model.

I've also been knitting up cat toys. They're so easy and quick to knit up. It's addicting! The pattern can be found here.

This picture was taken after my mom's cats played with them, so they're a little tore up. I made so many of them though.

I'm Back!

Wow, I haven't been on here in awhile. I stopped knitting for a little bit. I recently started up again though! I don't have a digital camera anymore (it broke and I haven't bought a new one yet) so for now I have to use my cell phone for pictures...which aren't the best quality ever...

I'm working on a scarf right now. It's for my mom. I was knitting it with Lion Brand Jiffy yarn in Aqua. I didn't have enough yarn to finish it though and messed up half way through, so I frogged it. As you can see, now I'm knitting it in black. Lion Brand Vanna's Choice. It's a soft yarn, I enjoy knitting with it.

You can't see it in the picture, but it's a ribbed scarf. The pattern is from the Stitch 'N Bitch book..."Ribbed-For-Her-Pleasure Scarf" It's a pretty easy pattern..




After I'm done with the scarf, I'm going to knit some cupcakes for my little sister. Here's a link to the pattern on Ravelry. It's pretty cute and I hope that I can manage them!

My very first FO! w00t w00t

My very first FO! You would think it would be the first thing I started, but nope. Haha. I'm almost done with that one (Billie's Blanket). I did finish the Kitschy Kerchief for Cassie! I'm happy I got it done, her birthday is on Tuesday! She'll be 10 years old. I love my little sister.

Anyway, here are some pictures:

As you can see, I knit two of them. I knit one small one for her stuffed animals, and one regular one for her. I did knit it a little smaller than suggested though, since she's younger. I'm hoping it fits her! *crosses fingers*



I was in a rush to take the pictures because my battery in my camera was dying, so it's not the best quality, but you can see the basics.




There's the smaller one close up.

I'll try to get a picture of her wearing it or at least one of her stuffed animals wearing the small one.

Now, I'm still putting off the blanket because I have another deadline coming up soon! My best friend is moving out with her fiance. I am knitting her a few things, but I will not say what they are here because she knows about this blog. Not sure if she reads it, but she has access to it! I'll post pictures after I give them to her =)

I just had to share this picture I took the other day of my kitty, Billie. He loves to go into paper bags, and I brought this one home the other week. Well, I got the stuff out of it and left it on my bed. He immediately went and stuck his head into it, and ripped it...haha. I just thought it was so cute that I needed to take a picture to share it.

That's him in his basket. My Grammy made me a gift basket for this past Christmas, she filled it up with a bunch of sweet stuff from Bath & Body Works. I loved it. Anyway, she used this basket. I brought it home and took the stuff out and put it away and Billie claimed it. We even had to wash that little red cloth because his fur was all over it. And then when we washed it, we had clumps of fur all over the place! It was pretty funny. I love my little man =)

New Project Begun

I just gave up on the dishcloth. It was too complicated for me. I kept messing up entire rows, and it was just very frustrating. So, it's gone...I'll make my mom something else, I'm sure she'll understand. I'll probably knit her a scarf, like I said in the last post I made.

I did start on the Kitschy Kerchief for Cassie. It's going well. I was knitting it too tight though, so I started over because it was becoming impossible to continue knitting, haha. So, I would like to get that done before her birthday, which is June 2nd. Well, I'm not sure when her party is. She's gonna be 10 this year! I got her a bunch of little Lisa Frank stuff, because that's what she's into right now. I'd like to put it all into a gift bag along with the kerchief.

Birthday Afghan

So, I want to knit myself an afghan. But, since I don't have a job and have no sort of income coming in...I have to wait until my birthday. I want to buy nice yarn for it, not cheap stuff. So, when my birthday comes along (November 20th...so far away!) I'm going to get some yarn with birthday money. I think I'm either going to knit the Paneled Lace Afghan that I talked about in this entry. It's pretty, and by the time I'm going to knit it I think I could get the stuff I need to do for it figured out. It doesn't seem too hard. Or I will come up with my own creation. Something original that I would be even more proud of! I just don't know how I would go about doing that...if anyone has any tips, I'd really appreciate them!


I taught myself how to do cables. I love them. They're so pretty and fun to do. So, I'll probably incorporate them into my afghan. *excited*

I cleaned up the apartment today. My dad is painting his room, the bathroom and then my room. I'm not sure which color I want for my room yet. It can't have any red in it, since we live in an apartment and it's harder for them to paint over red after we move out. I'm thinking of a light brown/tan-ish color. I have no clue. I'm looking at the different colors, but I'm not too good at choosing which colors would look right with my furniture/carpet and whatnot. It's so hard! I straightened up my room, but after my dad paints it I'm going to do a total cleaning of it.

I borrowed the book "One Skein" [Ravelry Link] [Amazon Link] from the library this week. It's okay, not too much I want to knit. Glad I borrowed it before I bought it. I do want to make the Candy Wrapper Sachets. I would like my drawers to smell nice! Also, this scarf looks nice. I want to knit my mom a scarf for this winter. I want it to be super pretty, I know she'll wear it no matter what it looks like...but I want it to actually look good. I'm also looking at this scarf. Not sure yet.
