And from the depths of my avoidance...

Yeah I realize that it has been a month since posting. Life gets in the way I tell you! That and I have a lazy streak. Anyway! In the interest of catching up this will be a long post so all of the pictures are linked so as not to take up the entire page, also bulleted for your reading pleasure. Now that you have been warned...

I have finished Grammy's scarf and it was so pretty! She enjoys the look and feel of the yarn. Woo! I over estimated when buying said yarn so I have almost a full skein left. I was going to make a scarf for Moe but over at Knitting Help there is a woman who takes her son to the hospital for chemo and she mentioned that there are other kids there that could really use some cheering up. So Moe and I decided that the scarf would be made for a little 3 year old who is there. I am also going to make a matching doll scarf for her.

I have to finish my pesky horseshoe square first though, only 4 days left before I have to mail it to Kelly! Thankfully I am nearing the end. For some reason having to frog a million times has made me really not like that thing.

I also knitted and completed a scarf for the mother in law made out of Lion Brand Chenille terracotta color. I am not to excited about the shedding it did while working with it but the finshed product turned out soft and beautiful so I suppose it would be okay for the occasional easy item. I did not have any batteries so sadly no pics of the FO.

I also finished Rachels stuff. There is a scarf, a cowl (started a hat but the hat was ginormous!! so I turned it into a cowl) and a morse code hat. the code says I Love R. Looks really great and once she recieved it in the mail I got a phone call full of squeals and giggles (13 yr olds *sigh*) apparently she loved them. Yes!

Now for my current pride and joy! I decided that the booga bag could not wait so over the weekend I whipped it up. Seriously the fastest thing that I have ever knitted. yea. Even faster than the scarf. It is the coolest thing! I now adore felting. I will admit that I had my doubts during the knitting process. The thing was so big! There was no way that I was going to be able to take that out with pride flimsy huge dumb bag. Then I felted it. (insert nerdy, giddy, happy dance here) It is perfect! All right I am done gushing.

Now for the sad news. My Irish Hiking scarf has been put on hold because I ran out of yarn! I was so close to! Knit picks won't have more until March. So I will just have to use my scarf next year. On the bright side it has been so warm that I havent really needed a scarf. Ah well.

Kitty Pi has been scrapped for now because I have decided to put it to better use. I will be making Sissy a pink purse with her name knitted in purple. This purse will also be felted. She is so excited. I will be knitting it for the Knitting Olympics. I WILL get a gold medal button! Go team USA! hehehe

Finally I recycled my first wool sweater. It was a pain but at .50 for the sweater I dare say that it was worth it! Now I have a nice amount of yarn for something. I was going to make a sweater with it but TJ has deemed it not female sweater worthy, apperntly the color is all wrong. Ahhhh well. I am thinking a shrug from knitty would be nice...

I told you that this was going to be long. you deserve a pat on the back for making it this far! I do have more to add but I need to get on with my day so I will save that for another day.
Lazily,
Dee
