Finally

I have decided that I will be making a poncho for Sara! I think that she will love it.
This is the start of it. Looking good so far.

Mr. Picasso head dot com! Fun site :)
I am still having difficulties deciding but I think that a scarf for my son will be perfect. That is what I am going with for now anyway. :)

Bored

Cause I am avoiding the homework that I should be doing right now. I enjoy college just not the work.

what comes next

Okay so now I am not sure what I want to work on next. I think that I will start a few squares but I really am anxious to try working with a pattern. Don't know. I am sure that I will figure it out soon. Just too many things to do and not enough time.

Finished Offs!

Okay I know that I said that this blog is for knitting, but I finished two of my crochet projects today! So I had to show them off.
This is the doll blanket that I promised the girls at the beginning of the year. Made the squares and then just kept putting it off.

This is the blanket that I have been working on for Moe for a few months. Between all of my WIP it has taken longer than I planned. I must say that I am rather proud of them. Bib to come very soon. It is just a matter of uploading the picture!

So far so good

Well I actually have about half of the bib done. It wouldn't take me so long if 1. I wasn't so freakin busy with kids and school and 2. if this wasn't my first project. But its allright I am learning and not getting discouraged. I look forward to picking up the needles and knitting a few rows. as a matter of fact I already have other projects in mind that I would love to do and are now on my to do list. But one thing at a time! picture to follow in the next few days :)

*sigh*

Well so far working on the bib has been a no go. So much homework and so little time. Ah well I will be able to catch up soon enough. Now that I have the kids to bed and the thought questions done maybe I will go ahead and work a few rows before bed. :)

swatch

Allright. Got my first swatch finished so I am going to bite the bullet and start making a baby bib that I found on Knitlist.
Looks super easy and I think that I will be better off trying that quick and easy pattern rather than taking on something larger. Besides, Sophia needs some bibs! Anywho! With the homework that I got today in Observation/Practicum I think that I will not be getting too much on the bib done as of yet. Ah well. Soon I swear! As soon as I do I will post a pic. Gotta love digital photos.

9-11

In the wake of the Hurrican we should not forget the people who died on 9-11-01.

Amazing...

Surfing through the internet today I saw this and just had to share.

There are a lot of pics but really worth taking the time to look through and read the captions.

Day 1

Okay so I have casting on down. I do have some working on the knitting stitch to do, but I think that I have the basic movements down. Now to practice so that it will actually look nice. In between practice I have to work on the blanket that i am making in crochet for my daughter. Man I have a lot to do but I am loving it.

Now to figure out where to fit in college lol. I am okay for this weekend, only some chapters to read through before tuesday, nothing too exciting. Anyway off to practice. I will post some pictures of my progress once i get some batteries.
busily,
Dee

testing

Yea I will do the real stuff tomorrow. :)
