dolly
Good monday to all! A new week starts and the craziness of the week shall follow until the next weekend and then, it's all starts over again. LOL!
We like to celebrate Valentine's day, the kids will get a bit of chocolate and then they each get little gifts to brighten up their day. Zoe is 3years old and has expressed quite some interest in knitting. Of course I'm not that crazy that I would try to teach her knitting. LOL! So I went out and got the 2nd best thing. A knitting spool/dolly for her! Can't wait for her to see it, I expect she'll be as happy as can be! :) In her mind she will the "knitting" just like mommy! I can see us now, sitting on the couch, watching tv and 'knitting' together! aaaawww! :)
Here's the dolly, I'll include a small ball of variegated yarn to make it fun.
If you tried to come by my blog earlier this morrning you probably got to wait and wait and wait for it to load and then probably just left before it did actually load. I'm sorry, yesterday I installed a comments script and the site seems to be down, so my blog was down too. Now this is really unfortunate, I was so proud to have installed the script yesterday and now if I leave it, my blog doesn't show up for anyone! :(
For now I'm taking out the comments script and hopefully if their site is back on later, I'll just put the script back in my template.
I think I'll sew myself a circular hanging storage "thing". Now that I have so many circ's and since I'd like them to avoid staying curled up in their little enveloppe, I need to store them elsewhere. From what I've seen online the Circular Solution looks pretty simple to make. I was thinking of simply cutting up a pair of old jeans (I kept many after I had started a jeans quilt). I'd take a leg, rip out the seems and sew up channels about 2" wide and tada! My own solution to store circ's. Man I'm so crafty! ROFLOL! ;)
Here's where am at on my 2nd fuzzy slipper. It's 10:15sm right now, I'm hoping to have finished it by the time dh gets home at 4pm! I'll have about an hour of knitting when Lucas goes down for his nap! Yay! LOL! This is silly but I like the part where I'm at, gusset shaping! :) It's all so relaxing to SSK and K2tog, lol! I like to knit and count and do a special stitch and just go on. I'm silly, I know.
Showing off my gusset and yet again another pic of my handmade dpn's!
On yet another quirky note, will I hit the 1000 visitor to my blog today? That would make for a great number one mont exactly after putting that counter on my blog. LOL! Oh and yes, I am easily amused! ;)
Off to try and win some yarn from Wendy's contest! ;) Isn't she the greatest? Check out her many sweaters she's knitted up so far. One day, I'll be half as good and be pleased forever! :)
Being that I want to get into the "IN" crowd. I, too, made a little cartoon, just like Amy and Bonne Marie.
I present to you..... Yarn Savior! LOL!
She will protect your yarn and alert you of any great sales. Will let you know wat are the coolest patterns and will happily be your friend. ;)
Now won't you be my friend too? ;)
