I think I can I think I can I think I can

It took me about 2 days, and all 8 episodes of Gossip Girl + 4 episodes of Heroes that I've missed but now all I have left to knit on my Forecast is the sleeves! I'm so excited! Here's an in action shot I took:



I'm really quite bad at the backward loop cast on, so my button holes look a little sloppy...


I finally bought some white yarn to get back to work on the Log Cabin, so I suppose I'll finish that up before I start anything else, although the red Cascade I bought is really staring at me, begging me to knit something with it!

More Forecast

I've run out of white yarn for the log cabin, and I haven't been able to talk myself into going up to the store to get anymore, so I've been working on my Forecast this afternoon. I haven't made too much progress but Pepito did make a wonderful model of what's there so far. If you happen to be wondering, the black cord next to Pepito is my noise reduction headphones. I'm listening to Middlesex right now. Knitting + Audiobooks = Love





I added some pictures of my nüvi cozy to my flickr/ravelry account. I knit it up in one evening. I just kind of knit a strip, threw in some button holes and seamed it up. The buttons were on sale for 40% off at Joann's the other day so I had to take advantage of it.


Speaking of, here are the buttons I picked out for my Forecast. There were only 8 left so I will have to improvise with those.

Wooly Bullies

Erika sent this too me, and I've already made Joolz watch it, so here it is for anyone else who cares

The (mostly) Log Cabin post

So, I decided to break down and sign up for a blogger account so that I can properly comment on Julies, and also so that my Ravelry profile doesn't look weird and naked. I suppose I will just post knitting things here, although my knitting isn't very exciting so we will see how it goes. My everyday journal will continue to be here.

I've been working my buns off on the log cabin blanket. I still have about 2 and 3/4ths blocks to go but I realized last night that I've run out of the white yarn that I have been using. I could have sworn that I bought an extra ball when Joann's was having the 2 for 10 sale but I can't find it anywhere. So now I need to be off to the store to buy another one. I had a dream last night that I finished this thing, that's how badly I just want it to be done!

I bought two hanks of darkish red Cascade 220 to make a scarf for myself. It's already freezing here in good ole MI. I'm thinking of doing Shifting Sands.

Lastly, my Forecast is going well. I thought it was looking a little small, but it seems to fit me fine. I've been working on this while at work since it's now a lot more portable than the Log Cabin which was taking up my whole suitcase. Please don't mind the fact that I look like I was going to bed, because that's exactly what I was doing.
