Any decade resolutions? Knit more, yell less. My last project of 2009: a beret for…me! After the 14 handmade Christmas gifts, I finally made something for myself. A simple knit beret wit a few eyelet rows thrown in. A day after I made it, I added a big ol’ red pom pom on top. I [...] gift #12 was completed yesterday. It’s a simple DC scarf. 16DC, including the turning chain, for approx. 100 rows with a SC border, using a 6.5mm (K) hook. Lion Brand Homespun yarn in “bourbon.” Gift #13 is waiting for my DPNs. Gift #14 may get the axe. THREE days left til Christmas Eve! I have THREE gifts that are not complete. One hasn’t even been started! Fortunately, the other 2 are at least 75% complete. I hope I can finish both up by the end of the night, so that I have at least 2 days to work on the last, then [...] My baby turned 19 months old, today. I went to pick up Nathan at school and came home with a Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer-boy! I kind of love Pre-K. He’s a jack of all faces. See 2 more on my flickr page, [[here]]. Since this seems to be the week of Rudolph, here is our favorite rendition of the classic “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” [...] On Saturday evening, Nathan I put together two dozen candy-cane Rudolphs. I remember my mom making these when I was little, so I thought it’d be a cute little party favor for his class. His teacher bought stockings and asked for stocking stuffers, so I bought some stickers, pencils, erasers, and we put these together. [...] I added two gifts to my list and completed them! They’re for my son’s teachers. Neckwarmer, crocheted from chunky yarn. They were super easy. [in black & white] He’s playing with the straw from my Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee Jason brought me, this morning. It’s the only way I could get him to sit still. That and obnoxiously singing the ABC’s and Row, Row, Row Your Boat. They came out alright, but I still need practice with this. I used [...] I bought a vintage cookie press from a thirft store some time last year. I thought it was cool, but I never used it and forgot about it completely until I saw THIS when browsing shaped bokeh photos. I immediately tried thinking of where I put the box that housed MY cookie press. In the [...] My needles are currently bare. I received a request for a baby blanket (I would be paid) and have yet to decide to do it or not! It’s needed by the 23rd and would take me 3-5 days to complete. I’m leaning toward YES because I could use some extra cash and…well, I’m kinda tired [...] |
