Jo Knits!

A, for Awards

ARGH! Just wrote my entry but then clicked on something and poof, entry gone! So as I was saying...

The oscars were nice, a beautifully pregnant Catherine Zeta Jones-Douglas was beaming when she won. Almost makes me want to ge see Chicago or at least rent it once it's on video. ;) I really like Steve Martin and it was nice to see him again. What was his last movie, it's been so long I've watched him in something.

I just started my biggest project yet, a 230 stitch wide blanket in a basketweave pattern. :) It will be using up neon orange and yellow variegated yarn I had found at the thrift store. If I run out of yarn I can always just mix and match with orange and yellow.

Last night I made Lucas a slipper, I SWEAR I followed the pattern exactly as it was written, row by row. I won't be making it's twin, so bummed at the end result.

The picture on the pattern's site clearly shows (well at least to me) the slipper has a cuff, also the toes is rounded not as square as me for sure. I know it has to do with the way I do the kitchener stitch. Why is it that I keep on choosing patterns that deceive me? Either I'm disappointed because it never fits and just come out like the pics or I just don't understand the pattern. I tell ya, each time I start a new project I need some help because I always get to a row where nothing makes sense to me.

I was so excited to make a little slipper for Lucas, usually Zoe is always the one who receives my knitting projects. Luckily I made a hat (for myself) too small so Lucas very happily swiped it. ;) He looks so cute with it too. :)

So now I still don't have a knitted hat for myself (dh stole my cable hat) and Lucas still doesn't have any slippers in his feet! LOL!

Thank you to my special friend Becca for helping me make this blog show multiple entries on one page. That way you can see a few entries at once. I will make a new page each mondays so you get a weeks worth to read by the weekend! LOL

The small bag is still sitting next to make, I promise I'll felt it today! LOL! ;)

hugs to all, have a great week! :)
