Things Ive Been Working On

It has been a few days since my last post but i promise you i have been knitting like crazy lolz. I recently taught two of my friends how to knit and now their boyfriends are accusing me of starting some sort of knitting cult (hmmmm doesnt sound to bad lolz). Well i borrowed some knitting books from the library (im on a college budget here) and they are amazing, i absolutly love them.
I borrowed Great Knitted Gifts by Andrea Shackleton and Gayle Shackleton and Socks à la Carte

by SWTC Design Team In great knitted gifts i already made a mitten XD. But the pattern in the book called for a pattern of small flowers and i dint have all the colors to make the flowers so i imporvised and designed my mitten with stripes :D

I only finished one of the mittens because i noticed that its just a bit to big for my hand =( I know it sucks because i love how it came out. But no worries im going to take my darling mitten to my mother and she in all her sewing genius will find a solution to my dilemma.

Kitty Madness

Hello everyone it feels like forever since i last posted. So much has happend since the start of the semester a few weeks ago. I love my RA position and my residents are great (so far lolz). Ive been really busy with classes and work but of course i am still hardcore knitting. It was my friends birthday last week and i wanted to give her a hand knitted gift, so of course i turne to ravelry for my pattern needs and was greatly rewarded. I stumbled upon a pattern called Stuffies by Ysolda Teague and thought it was the cutest thing ever. So i casted on the kitty pattern in black yarn. Since it has been along time since i used dpns it was a rough start but i kept going. Once i had all the pieces knitted and ready for stuffing, i used a little DIY ingenious and instead of buying a bag of stuffing i went to my local thrift store and bought an old pillow and took the stuffing from there XD ingenious i kno lolz. Well i stuffed the kitty and sewed on all the paws and such, but then i noticed that you could see the stuffing through the knitting.







Hmmm so of course i tried to sew a few strand of yarn in between the stitching so that the stuffing could be hidden, but that dint work and now my kitten had a bunch of C sections every were 0_o.

But my friend loved him all the same and she was very happy with it.

Well I still dint feel like ive done the pattern justice after my first try so i went back to the needles and casted on for a second kitty!!

His name is Yuki meaning snow in Japanese !!!XD!!!

Dying To Knit lolz

I have about 6 days untill i return to school and am once again reunited with my needles n yarn. I don't know what possed me to leave them behind for the summer break but luckily it will be over soon. I've been looking at different knitting blogs and i found one i really like its called Two Swallows. I like her style and her pieces are gorgeous! lolz. It will be awhile before i can pull off any of those pieces but im getting there, ive come a long way from knitting strange shapes and trying to pass them of for scarves..lmao Another thing i discovered was that someone actually reads my blog!! which is amazing and might hint to me being totally hopeless because of how happy I am about that but i dont care!! lol Thank you very much for who ever is reading this and please continue to do so =)

Back In Bussines

Wow it has been such a long time since i last posted, due to a broken hand sometime around may then add in finals and summer break to that equation and you get a blank blog lolz. Well i broke my hand in karate and so was out of comission for the better part of a month and a half. I was really devastated when it happend, not so much b/c of the pain but unfinished projects i left behind. But now thats all said and done i am fully healed and dying to start knitting again!!!

I even bought a brand new book called The Knitters Bible: Knitted Accessories by Claire Crompton. It is a really nice book with about 30 projects ranging from scarves to hodies. I really like her explenations about the diffrent yarns and how to mix them. She uses alot of colors and diffrent yarns to make her projects which i just love.

I cant wait to start school again. I got the RA job meaning Resident Advisor and so i get my own room!! which is great but i also get alot of experience in dealing with college kids which helps me alot in my major. Well im out, about to watch a movie to pass the time.

Weekend At SUNY Albany

I just came back from a nice weekend with my good friend Chenelle at SUNY Albany. But of course i forgot to take pictures b/c i conveniently lost my camera in my bag 0_o. Lolz. But it was really fun and i got to go to Michaels. Wow i just love that store, i could definetly set up camp n live in it. I picked up a few skeins of yarn and the Lion Brand Speed Stix. So i have a few projects on board that im just dying to start lolz. Well ive got a whole day of classes tom, so im off to bed.

Rainbow Cowl

I finished this cowl for my friend and she loves it. It was such a nice and relaxing knit that it just flew by. I was finished with it in a day. Not to mention that the yarn was amazing to use. The pattern is called Dolores Park Cowl by Parikha Mehta
