Another one bites the dust.....

Another UFO, that is.


I had started this scarf a long time ago. And I do mean long. I was using plastic circular knitting needles to do it and because I stitch so tightly, I broke one of the needles, so I just left the scarf sitting. And sitting. And sitting.


Last weekend I was looking for something else when I stumbled upon it again.

After looking at it for a bit and wondering why the pattern wasn't still with it, I decided that it really was long enough just like it was.

Since I was in the middle of a row when my needle broke, I just pulled those stitches off. Then I finished off that edge, added some fringe, and called it done.

Now I just need for it to get cold enough to be able to wear it. It's made with a cotton yarn and is super soft. And, of course, all three girls are arguing over who gets it and the answer is Me. lol

It always feels so good to get something finished that has been sitting there waiting for so long. Although, I also feel foolish for letting sit there for so long when I could have just finished it way back when. Oh well, it's done, right?

In the works....

I thought summer was supposed to be a time when I could relax a little with the kids out of school and all.

No such thing around here. We've been busy as ever. The kids have summer activities going on, it's been crazy busy at the office, and that doesn't leave much time for me to play. *pout*

But, I've been squeezing in what I can when I can.

It's a small project and should be quick so hopefully I'll have it to show soon.

How is your summer going so far? Hope you're getting time to enjoy it.

Bunny

I knitted this little bunny from a pattern on Ravelry. (It's a membership site, but a great on for knitting or crochet patterns).

(sorry the pictures aren't better -- story of my life. lol)

Anyway, the head and body are made of one square of knitted 'fabric'. It's a great little pattern.

I was making it for a Toy Society drop, but my kids fell in love with it. And of course they all want one. Since I didn't give them each a bird the last time, I decided I'd better include them at some point.....so I've got three more bunnies to make.

I only have one more ear to knit on the one I'm currently making, then I just need to stitch and stuff it. It's been fun working on this one. :0)

Quick project

I read a post where someone was talking about this hat and I was curious. Then I happened to be in Hobby Lobby (the only craft related store anywhere near me) and found some wool felting yarn on clearance for about $2.50. I immediately thought of this hat and decided to give it a try. Just let me say that it worked up sooooo quickly! I love that. I made it in the adult size and then threw it in the washer and dryer to tighten it all up so that if would fit the girls. Kirsten has claimed it and is in love with it.




She made me wash this shirt so she could wear it again with this hat to school today. :0)

I think I should have made it just a smidge longer, but she loves it like it is.

And, go check out this giveaway. Really cute stuff.
