Concerns

You know you should be worried when you start saying things about your christmas knitting like

"Mens size 15 feet are not THAT much bigger than mine" (womens size 5)

"I could probably make 4 of those"

"SURE! Why not, the first one only took me 3 days!"

Quick Update

Sorry, havent talked at you in a while...school is icky.

Haruni- done, and at home currently blocking. I hope that two days is enough time for the little goober to dry cuz that is ALL ITS GETTING! I left it unattended, and Aims and I went away for the weekend, because I was afraid she'd decide to do an irish step dance on it. And it is white...She's the reason we can't have nice things.

I'm taking a little break from the christmas knitting to work on one of these. Mine is in purple...I've also made a few slight edits to the pattern, which I will share with you later. (if they work) The yarn is smooshy and luscious and the little wooden beads make me giggle like scooby doo.

I had to go out and buy mittens...because I knit slowly turns out. And so The Rainbow mittens are on hold...

How are you all doing?!

YOU KNOW WHAT!

Schools kicking my ass.

Zach has officially moved to Australia (which is sucking the fun right out of things, despite the whole being apart fiasco)

Aimee LOVES THE SNOW, which would be great if it meant i didn't have to stand out there in it for hours while she gallivanted.

My knitting is lagging...

I'm off to nap. I promise something more up beat next time.

Love you all, hope you're enjoying the snow, if you have any, and that you're enjoying the fact that you're running out of time to knit christmas gifts!

SMITTENS!!!










At this point I'm a leetel worried about how they'll fit, they seem a tidge tight.










I'm hoping blocking will help loosen them some. Either way they're GOING to fit because i refuse to frog. Just saying,.

take THAT

oops, deleted the first try. here we go again....

So I was digging through my old WIPs in the attempt to avoid the haruni....and I came across the bead bracelet that has been half finished for around 3 years...woops?

Since I had a ton of studying to do, I sat down and finished the bracelet.

It's bead crochet. What you do is load a ton of beads on some thread, then go to town with the slip stitches until you've decided your rope is long enough. I'm sure, via google, you can find some handy dandy instructions if you're so inclined.





Then, you whip out a teensy tinsy needle and some thread, and sew that baby up. If you only have white, like I did, but you need black, DONT PANIC! It's okay, just color it black with a permanent marker first!













At this point, even if it is midnight, you should wear that little sucker proudly around the house.










Go on, wave it in the dog's face. You know she cares too!
















Well okay, maybe not.
