Today Kelly hosted stitch n bitch at her new apt. It was so much fun! We had tea, cucumber sandwiches, muffins and watched Eagle vs Shark and Superbad. I even brought Sebastian over, he had fun too.
My harmony needles came in! They're so pretty and feel great to knit with.
Today was so much fun, I cant wait till next time.
I'm still here! I haven't posted in forever because life has been so crazy. What have I been doing instead? Knitting! I picked up the needles again and taught my friend Daniel to knit and we've both been knitting like crazy.
It was tough but I managed to catch a couple shots of him knitting at work. See! I have proof I taught a boy to knit! LOL! I taught him the basics, trying to tell him to pace himself and start with something small and easy. He ends up doing, braided cables, intarsia and gloves (not with dpns but the 2 circular needle method!) in the first week and a half! Figures, I teach him to do something and he totally shows me up. ;)
I made him a dark redish-black cable cuff and he asked how to do a cable. So I showed him how and by the next day he made me a blue braided cable cuff. I love wearing cuffs now, so cozy and cute. :)
I made this pink and purple cuff out of yarn that was handmade with little Hello Kitty beads! It's just too cute!
I also finished 2 sweaters this week, a cropped sweater with really chunky yarn (I love quick knits!) and a sweater I started about a year ago, once I seam up the sleeves I'm going to add a ribbon and make it a wrap sweater.
Right now I'm working on kittyville hat from SnB, except I'm making it in white and I'll add a pink bow to the kitty ear to make it a Hello Kitty hat (of course). I'll post pics when I'm done.
I didn't mean to take a hiatus, but life will do that sometimes. Ever since I started working the late shift I just didn't have the energy to post after work, what little energy I did have was used for packing and moving to our new apt.
Life's a little more back to normal now, we're mostly unpacked but I've still got to decorate. I'm still knitting, in fact, I'm almost done putting Brian's sweater together.
My mom came over a few days ago and gave me some tips on sewing the pieces correctly. I remember seeing her and my grandmother knitting together all the time when I was a kid. Grandma isn't with us anymore so it's really nice to share my knitting with my mom.
I've also started a new project, I'm knitting a scarf for a friend at work, it's my first intarsia piece. He made the chart, it's of the tattoo on his arm. It should be a fun easy knit.
Isabelle likes the new apt, especially the spiral staircase. She'll sit up there and watch us and playfully swat at us as we walk by. So cute.
I've picked up my knitting again... I seem to go in phases where I'll knit like crazy and then not want to knit at all for a month or two... and then I start knitting like crazy again. This is a sleeve to the sweater I started for Brian on our honeymoon almost 7 months ago, it was supposed to be done in time for Christmas (I'm such a bad wife, haha).
