Ta-da!

Finished felting the Felted Mary Janes (without the strap... so, now they're just felted slippers). I might do my next pair with the strap... hmmmm. So much to do, so little time!

Knitting in my head

I have just finally cast on for the other Mary Jane slipper. *sigh* I've spent the last hours hanging out with Bob, and after he left, searching blog to blog for new knit ideas. I need to lock myself in a room with no computer. Eh, at least when I'm not knitting I'm searching for new knitting blogs... or painting. I need to work on some new stuff, I just haven't been in the mood to paint.

Felted Mary Janes Take 2!

Ok... so I whipped up the other Mary Jane slipper while at my parents house. Ya... Here's the outcome: It's a bit smaller than the other. I figured out why to. The smaller one is the correct size, the bigger one had 4 rows to many... While I was helping my mom babysit my cousins I was working on the first slipper. Here's proof that they drove me nuts, I added 4 (FOUR!!!) rows to many while loosing my sane over there. Ya. So now that i was almost done, I have to start another slipper... again. Hopefully I'll be able to felt them tomorrow evening! I should be ok aqs long as I don't babysit those kids again. I am proud of the bottom seam. Looks pretty nice. Here is the Mary Jane on my foot, ta-da! (pre-felted of course) (and yes, I have big feet, size 11 1/2 womens!)

Oh snazzy...

It's so crazy being able to see again. Sounds retarded I know, but I feel like I've missed out on seeing things. Weird... Anyways. I'm rearranging my room (and taking a breka as you can see). I moved my desk/computer over to where my bed was and my bed under the window. I dig it so far... now I just need to finish the room. Errrrr I hate that part. It's hot in here.

Knitted fantasy creatures!!!

I've been waiting and waiting for Dot Pebbles to release her newest knitted babes style book! Dream Toys! Yes! I saw it on a cart at work and instantly ran to the register. See... I've already cast on! I'm doing the baby fairy in a light teal blue cotton yarn. In other news... I finally got new glasses. It's been almost 7 yrs since my last pair and check up. Ya, its amazing I never ran into anyone or ran someone over while driving. They look super cute to. I'll put up a pic when I'm having a "good looks" day. lol I just got off work, so... you know how it is.

My feet are getting cold

I've made some progress on Sock 1. lol. It's hard to see form the pic, but I'm about 1/2 down the foot. Can't wait to finish the 1st sock and start the next. I've just had no time to work on them errrr. I stayed at work for lunch today and knitted like a crazy women. Knitting took over the eating part. I just couldn't break away from the sock. Must... finish... socks! I ran out after work and swung by the Fiber Factory to pick up some sock yarn and another set of needles!!! I got some white yarn to dye myself. They just didn't have the colors I was looking for...

Future sock addict

I'm hooked. I'm like half way done (kinda) on my first sock. I have to say... I love knitting them! OMG! Thats what I had last night, I've worked a few mor rows since then. So it might have grown a bit, not much. I love it so far, can't wait cast on the next one. After I finish this pair I have some Koigu yarn I wanna use for another pair. I used a little bit of it, so I might make another pair of ankle socks with it... Also.... I picked up some books at work today!!!!

Last Living Souls

Been working on a few projects. I have finished the first Mary Jane slipper! Yay!(This is it pre-felted, and yes, it lokos a lot like Frankenstein's shoe) I've already cast on for the next and have gotten only 4 rows of it completed. I was trying to work on some knitting while watching my cousins with my mom the other night... ya. Those kids make me want to run out and get fixed. Crazy! Anyways... I've started knitting my first pair of socks!!! I'm liking it so far, so we'll see. I'm almost ready to turn the heel, kinda excited. Only 22 more rows and I get to see the magic happen! I'm making ankle socks right now, only cause I'm to impatient to work more on the ankle, I wanna see how the heel goes, then I'll make a normal pair. I'll post a picture when I get a chance. I've been kinda working on the Fan & Feather scarf. I wanted something thin and light grey, so ta-da, I came up with this combo. I'm liking how it looks right now. I have a few more projects around, I just can't keep up. Now my Mom wants a pair of felted Mary Janes too, ugh! I have way to much to do before X-Mas, It's coming way to fast. ***LISTENING TO: Gorlliaz "Demon Days"***
