In the nick of Time

Guess what?! I finished something in a timely manner. I saw the pattern for this a few weeks ago when I was searching for something to make my friend for her birthday and gave it a try. I am in love with this shirt, and I actually finished it in time to wear it to my sister's last Band Banquet (goodbye to all that good food until I have kids...) where I got several compliments on it. One girl actually asked me where I got it from, I think she had a heart attack when I told her I made it myself. It's a bit different from the one the pattern makes, because I have issues with crochet patterns, but I love how it turned out. I really like how the shells turned into a kind of rib as I was working, but then again I'm strange. Also I have Bambina's present nearly done, all that's left is to appropriate a couple yards of ribbon. I love dollar store yarn... Picture and original pattern as usual! (Please excuse the mess, I'm working on cleaning my room.)

Birthday Madness

So I just now noticed that three of my friends all have birthdays around the same time. So after going crazy to get one friend's present done in time I have to get another's done in just over a week. Oy. Anyway now that Sam's birthday is over and done with I can finally post pictures of it. Since I forgot to take a picture of the sweater I made her (because she thought I was making her one and I would've felt guilty if she didn't get one) all you get is a picture of the lovely lace scarf I made her.

Wizards, Muggles, and Squibs OH MY!

So as anyone who reads Sam's blog knows, we have embarked on the great Harry Potter quest. Can we each make two sweater vests before November? Or will be wearing T-Shirts that say "Muggle"? We shall see.

I still have no progress to report, because I am a lazy bum and decided that knitting without internet was no fun so I caught up on my reading instead:

• Marley & Me -made me cry, I didn't realize how much I missed my dearly departed dog until I read this.
• Fellowship of the Ring (Again) - Tolkien is a genius, but why was Moria so short and Lothlorien was described for six pages.

I feel really bad not having any progress to report, but there we go.

Laaaaazy

I am a lazy bum. And I apologize for it. So Sam's thing still isn't done, and I've started a project for me. Almost done with it though. Blarg. I don't have any pictures for you either. I felt bad and updated because it's been almost a month since my last update.

Now, I've been thinking of selling my stuff on sites like Etsy, but I'm not so sure. I have a large duffle bag full of stuff, that needs to find a home and fast. I've started on a record of everything I have, but without a good version of Mircosoft Office I'm kinda stuck. Oh well.
