What Does Your Candy Heart Say?

Thanks Nicole.. (^_^)

something new..

This year I decided to make items that I have been wanting to try for a while.. or things I have looked at and wanted to make but just never did. The cardi-wrap is one and two toe up socks at the same time is another.. this will be my first pair of toe up socks and the first time I attempt two socks at the same time.. so far I like it.. I think I might have gotten them turned around on the cast on.. not sure.... I will continue to test the water and see what happens... (^_~)

YaY yarn sale!!

Progress on my cardi-wrap... So far I finished the right side and back.. and now I'm working my way across the left front.. when that is done.. I'll just have the sleeves to knit and they are knit in the round.. they should work up pretty fast...














Sales sales sales!!!...Michaels put some yarn out for clearance and it was going fast... good thing I was working .. I ran back on my break and picked up what was left of the Patons shetland chunky.. for .49 cents!!! .. there was a darker blue that I didn't pick up right away.. I thought about it for a minute and went back to get that too and it was already gone.. I really like the colors I was able to get.. and I have one project picked out already... Yay for yarn sales!!!

stress?

Moving along very nicely.. and then in the upper left corner... something just isn't quite right.. so yes there was some ripping.. it wasn't too painful.. only 5 pattern repeats.. I'm up to the the first armhole and dropped the stitches before the armhole bind off.. and now I'm working on the back. This pattern is fairly simple.. but.. I seem to be having a lot of problems with it.. must be stress.. blame everything on stress..

chocolate is good

So much chocolate.. go to keep the knitting going..this was a very nice belated Christmas present.
Chocolate from around the world.. what could be better than that!!















I decided to continue to knit on... and it's not bad.. every once in a while I have to pull lightly on each end of the yarn so the kinks smooth out... this is pre drop stitch.. (this it the cardi- wrap pattern from stitch diva studios)















Two little people are getting bigger. (^_^)

oh my...0.0

Well I've casted on.. and there seems to be trouble already.. I'm going to knit a few more rows and see if the yarn separates and kinks up more.. if so I will have to frog.. >.<.. yes.. yes.. I know.. I've been warned.. quite a few people seem to be having problems with this yarn.. and yet there are those that knit beautifully with it... so I had to give it a try..
sigh..















btw.. thank u so much for your comments on my composed knits...I wore them last night and I love them.. (^_^)

fiNisHed.. baBy..!!

OMG... I finished... all the finishing.. so much finishing!!! It took about 2 hours to weave in all the ends last night...we watched Wuthering Heights and it me took the entire movie to weave in the ends...but when I finished .. I had a feeling of accomplishment and some pretty fingerless gloves.















Jody has inspired me to finish spinning my sock yarn. She has been spinning some beautiful yarns.. and watching her gave me incentive to drag out my wheel and ply the 2 spools that I had already spun. It only took an evening... This yarn is definitely fingering weight. I have that small bit left to spin and as of now there is 188 yards. I don't think I can get a pair of short socks out of that.. there will probably be enough after I spin the rest of it... So as of now.. 1 project finished.. and quess what.. I'm casting on another one!!
