What's new...

So I gave the baby blanket to the rightful owner on her birthday! Yes it was perfect timing, I finished and it was her birthday 3 days later!! YEAH! I think she liked it... lol.. yes.. "I think" I don't know.. but honestly I'm not bothered, I had so much fun knitting the blanket!

Well.. the next day I finished the blanket, I went back to my wrist warmers that have been neglected for a LONG long long time. I had only about 1 inch left for the second hand but since I had lugged it around with me for such a long time, some stitches were dropped so I decided to start over. I started it around 4:30 and around 9, I binded off. Then as I was working my way towards the thumb.... i realized I made 2 left hands!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! BAH I was so excited that I was FINALLY going to finish my wrist warmers and it was all ruined... I worked SO fast that i made 2 left hands.. poo on me!!! So I have decided to put the wrist warmers aside and to work on other projects.

I started 2 new projects!

The Eiffel

Lelah Top

Not sure if I'm enjoying the Eiffel.. well maybe "enjoy" is not the right word. I'm worried about the Eiffel, my gauge is right (cause I did a swatch!! lol) but my stitches are really big and holey, so I'm not quiet sure what to do. The lelah top is doing well, I want to do some decreases in the lace pattern to make it for form fitting but I'm not sure how to do lace decreases. Hopefully the girl I have asked will MSG me back soon!! Well that's it for now:)

Baby Blanket

I have finished my first baby blanket!!! I love it SO much! Here are the details and some pictures!!!

Pattern: Blue Tranquillity by Rachel J. Terrill (found in "Our Best Knit Baby Afghans")
Yarn: Bernat/Baby Coordinates
Finished Size: I actually forgot to measure the finished but approx. 32" x 35"
Time: approx . 3 weeks only!! this is the complete size!

oh the baby blanket on me!
to show the texture and the beauty of this pattern!

My Opinions:
Well I have to say I loved knitting this blanket! The pattern was easy to follow, easy to remember and easy to fix any mistakes if you made any. I definitely recommend this pattern for those who like to knit it casually. I found it extremely easy to find out where I was in the pattern and I never screwed up once!! What I love more is that it's so beautiful, and perfect for a boy. It's very elegant but not over the top. I would definitely knit this pattern again:) thanks for looking!!

I've been tagged.....

well I was tagged a few months ago, but back then I was addicted to facebook so I didn't reply. Also, I only had 2 people to tag and they had both already been tagged, if not more than once already.


Here's how it all goes down: Each person tagged gives 7 random facts about themselves. Those who are tagged need to write on their own blog 7 facts as well as the rules of the game.

1. I don't really like chocolate.. usually only a few days before and beginning of my "time"

2. I have a suspicion about my jewelry, I feel that if I don't have it on, something bad will happen.. hence why I never take off my jewelry.

3. when I'm in the passanger side of car, if turning a corner or curing around a curve.. I turn my body or my head with the car... I think i developed this from riding scooters when I was little

4. it's took me 43 minutes to come up with 3 things and a whole day before I contiune on....

5. I like to clean when I'm stoned

6. when i was younger I really wanted to become a vampire, so much that i use to file my teeth!! (i don't do it anymore!)

7. I wear contacts to sleep - they are corrective lense, which means they shape my eye back to 20/20 vision in the day.. but sometimes they slide (when I sleep on my side) and then I see double or triple.. lol

YEAH 7 things!! phew.. wow that took me a long time.

Panda Update

javastain has taken over the panda swap and we have been PMing each other. She got a hold of my swap angel and my swap angel is shooting for a dateline of July 28 for a sendout!! I'm so happy and excited!

Baby Blanket

I have been working very hard on the baby blanket. I am already one ball through and working on the 2nd ball. Here are some pictures of my progress:) this is the ball of yarn...... and then .... POOF

oh the blanket!!!!!! WOW.. I'm magical!! lol
don't mind the black paint on my forehead.. i was painting and got a little out of control and didn't notice the paint.. lol

a close up on the blanket, I love this pattern:)

well other then this, I haven't been working on anything else. After I'm done the blanket though, I do plan on finishing my wrist warmers (shouldn't take very long) and then after that I'll be making some presents. I still have not gotten my Panda swap yet :( I don't think I'll be getting it actually. My partner said she got me an angel but I haven't heard anything from the angel yet. My partner's father passed away during the swap, so she sent late. She sent the package but it never arrived and when she checked with Canada post, they said her tracking number doesn't exist. The last I heard from her, she said her husband's mother was dieing, so I feel terrible bugging her. However though, I am disappointed. This was my first swap and I worked SO hard on my gifts and in return I haven't received anything. I know it's not always like this and it's not my partners fault but still... it's crappy. Not sure what to do, don't want to bug her, she hasn't been on craftsters since the end of June, so she's not ignoring me... I guess I shall wait.
