My daughter has moved back home, (one month early yay!)
I moved in with my boyfriend (now fiance, *dances around a little*!!!)
quit my job..... which felt fucking amazing at the time but in hindsight Really Bad Move!
so i havent been doing much knitting at all up untill the last fornight really, where i had a little knitting explosion!
Explosion one
My daughter decided her doll piggaro needed a blankie, very basic just small garter stitch squares with larger blocks of garter stitch surrounding them and a single crochet border
explosion two
then she decided that her 'my little pony' millkie needed one too. ok no problems i have been wanting to try mitered sqares for a while, great little trial project, turned out pretty good and inspired the wedding present of doom. (but more about that another day)
explosion three
In which i decided that since our apartment is waaaaayyyyyyy W.A.Y. to small for a christmas tree this year i would knit stockings for the pressies......... a nice introduction to short rowing yes, but other than that complete fail! i dont know where i went wrong but its all lumpy and gross. i thought i followed the pattern exactly???
my other explosion, very nice and easy, something to get me back into the swing of knitting, a simple garter stitch scarf... knit on 4.5 mm dpns... in furry fun yarn... still not too much of a problem long and boring yes, but problematic no. Untill i run out of yarn and i can. not. find. a matching ball of yarn anywhere!!!!! so now i am left with a way too short scarf, but i refuse to frog it after the time put into it. so i suppose it will sit in the bottom of my wip pile for all of eternity, or untill i decide not to be so stubborn, frog it and make something else with the pretty pretty yarn.
(ok so eternity it is)
