Shrug it off

So I've started work on a new shrug, this time with my own pattern. The good news is it will be pretty much one size fits all, bad news it's taking a while. I'm knitting it completely in the round and it's straight St st, so I get bored with it very quickly. In addition it's going to be knit all in one piece so I can't wait to get this done and try it on. When it's done I'll post the finished pattern and update the picture.

I know I haven't been posting regularly, and unfortunately that's going to continue. Finals are in two weeks, and I have to finish final projects before then. I did do some baking the other day though. Oatmeal Raisin cookies, and Oatmeal Peanut Butter. Very good if I do say so myself.

An update on all I've got going on: Sam's Present is almost done, Finished and sold shrug to a friend of mine, managed to get two different projects comissioned for the Ren. Fair this summer, and picked up another skien of my favorite yarn.

Ophelia Lives!

"Ophelia drowned in the water, crushed by her own weight."



So Andy's sweater took third, and I've joined another contest. "Under The Sea", so naturally I made a octopus and named it Ophelia. She ish adorable, done in about 4 hours on a size G hook with 4 ply acrylic. Pattern below! I'm going to try to update more often, but finals are coming up fast and my life is going to revolve around them for a while.




Octopus

Update: Ophelia has become Stanley the French Octopus. I had no say in the matter, but I must say she looks good with a mustache.
