Crazy!

I have finished the B-E-A-UUU-TIFUL baby blanket, BUTTT~ there is no more battery in my camera... It has died, and the store has no more. They aren't even sure if they have a rechargable one anymore! This really does suck, because I wanted to send the gifts to her before I left for my trip. Everyone saw the blanket right? Well, I think I'm just going to have to send it. I really want her to enjoy the lovely softness of it, before I decide to keep it actually. 0:) So I'll make a scarf out of the same yarn, so then I'll take a picture of the lovely~ness, and have some of it for myself, cuz it's just too soft not too! Off to packing, I wish I had the camera! :'(

Summer Summer

So, I finished the Alpaca Hat, and it can be found in Bloomin' Yarns! lol, It's so pretty~ Here is it a little after I finished the ribbing...

Now here it is all finished! :) Hats are really quick! I love that about them




It looks better in person, but u get the gist. I am now starting a ribbed hat for Michelle. I really like the yarn on this one too! I want to make a wrap sweater out of it when I get the chance. I am also working on another Christmas gift. But I can't really talk about it yet. So, I'll have pictures up when I get a new battery. Go to Bloomin' Yarns to check out the new purple Alpaca hat! It's worth it~ Laters-

And I almost forgot! I'm going to San Diego for a week, so I won't be able to blog until July- Hopefully I'll get a new battery and I'll be able to take LOTS of photos, especially for Heather, so she can see the beautiful city she left on the west coast. I will hopefully take the hat along with me, but I have to call American Air lines and see if I can take them with me. If anyone knows about how American feels about knitting needles (Double points for a hat) then tell me. If they prefer straight needles, I'll make a scarf, I just have to know by Saturday June 23th! Thanks!

Grads & Alpaca!

Well, I finally gave Liz her beautiful purple scarf, now the story of the grey yarn...

5pm pic-


8pm pic-


8:45 pic-



Now the finished product on the graduate... :D








I think he liked it, and it fit his head! Always a plus when you make a hat not measuring their head. :) And here is a sunset pic from the deck- so B-E-A-UUU-TIFUL!


Okay, no onto the Alpaca hat- it is coming along nicely and when I am done with this I am gonig to knit with it. It is SOOO soft. I'm actually thinking about making leg warmers with it cuz, omg, they'd be perfect! :) Well, here it is so far- and I must say that the pic is so not what it is, it's a lot better in person, and when I'm done, you can check it out at Bloomin' Yarns!
Ok, now all done with knitting. Now onto a sadder note.. :'( For my knitting group, no more Magic man, and no more boo. We are still friends, but we are no longer together. It is sad, but we haven't been the same and it was a kind of mutual thing, so we are ok. He was my first love though. That's the plus from it all. ;) :'( <<33>
Ok, now back to happy knitting! I like knitting, and it is happy.

Bloomin' Yarns & Fair! :)

So, I really wanted to go to the fair wednesday night, but it got stormy, so boo took me to the movies instead. Wait, he didn't take me, it was all DUTCH. But then thursday I wanted to go to the fair for sure, so I called up boo, he said no. I then tried Gina, she told me she wanted to go, but she was busy, said she'd call later. So after Gina and Boo dumping me, I tried Henry, who then told me it was stupid. I'll get him, but after Henry was Emily. Couldn't get a hold of Emily, and when I did- she had to babysit. So instead of the 'stupid fair' <- Henry is very mean, I decided to go to Bloomin' Yarns sit and knit. I also needed yarn for the hat I must complete today for a graduation gift. But I got a talking with Michelle, the owner, and she said she doesn't make hats that often, but needs one for display! Laurie, you are going to be very jealous of what kind of hat I am making. It's the light purple Alpaca with a Twist! SOOO soft and can't wait to make it! I'll start tomorrow, cuz that hat for graduation, MUST be done today. Here are pics--



This is the Graduation Hat yarn--






Here is Liz's finished scarf, Very Pretty!

Now the B-E-A-UUU-Tiful Purple Alpaca with a TWIST! :)
So soft-
so pretty!
<<33
I get store credit for knitting this hat for her! Isn't that cool!?! :) laters, must knit like non-stop for a few hours to get that hat done!

wanting to cry :'(

So, that stressful week is all gone. Finals are over, Youth Sunday gone, and Dance Company Tryouts too. I just didn't expect to go done to the list and have the numbers 1-14 then 16. I was 15. I didn't make it. I'm honestly really pissed off cuz a lot of 8th graders made it. I'm a sophomore, going to be a junior. Why can't they wait til I graduate then have them in Dance Company, instead of those evil people who do both Dance Company & Cheerleading. It just really bugs me. I even went to graduation, and it's all I could think about. I'm going to go to the St. Anne's Fair tonight with my boo- hopefully that will get my mind off of it. ugh!

????

I have 2 (well 3 now) posts in June, but you have to click June to see the one I have just posted... It's really weird, but just trust me.

Quicky Knit

I have been knitting so fast, and school is ALMOST OVER!!! I have knitted this beautiful shawl for my ballet teacher(I only made stuff for the baby, now they both have something), I finished the yarn off on that purple scarf about a half hour after I posted it & now I need more yarn. That's the only problem with knitting with yarn from Bloomin' Yarns, I never get extra yarn. :/ Well, Here are the beautiful pictures! I have some hot pink yarn, and I think I will make a hat and/or ipod cover. Updates on a later blog- with pictures of course! Oh~ The shawl is much prettier in person, my mom is already demanding one in white. :) laters!

Graduations

Well, once again I am knitting for graduation gifts. Instead of giving that really thin black one (which is 92 inches long!) to my cousin for christmas, I gave it to Nicole for her Graduation. She liked it, so that's good. The soonest I could go to Bloomin' Yarns was Saturday, so I decided to not atempt to knit a hat in less then one day. But I did get to order some more yarn for that baby blanket, yeah it's still not done! It's been sitting in my basket next to my couch just waiting for another skein, but when I got there, they didn't have any bamboozle IVORY!!! I wanted to cry, I brought it just to finish it there. But they did put a special order in for me and it should be in in a week. Instead of crying that I couldn't make my baby blanket, I looked around and found a really pretty ball of yarn for another graduation party coming up. I have gotten really far in two days, most of it done on the first day. Oh- also new needles. They're green and Crystal Palace (you can see the prettys in the picture.). So, that's all for now- back to my laundry and knitting on this kind of gloomy Sunday. <<33>

Here's a picture of Pudgie while I was doing laundry, SHE'S JUST TOO CUTE! :)
