My car was vandalized on “Mat Night”, the night before Hallowe’en. Actually, the car was fine. But someone took it upon him or herself to screw with my little antenna smiley face head. So instead of my cute little cowgirl with the long blond braids peeking out from under her gray Stetson, I now have this:
She now looks like a Rabbi!!! She looks like she’s been scalped! I called my mother for sympathy, and I got laughter and the advice to knit her a tuque. I’m not amused.
You appear to be a Knitting Adventurer. You are through those knitting growing pains and feeling more adventurous. You can follow a standard pattern if it’s not too complicated and know where to go to get help. Maybe you’ve started to experiment with different fibers and you might be eyeing a book with a cool technique you’ve never tried. Perhaps you prefer to stick to other people’s patterns but you are trying to challenge yourself more. Regardless of your preference, you are continually trying to grow as a knitter, and as well you should since your non-knitting friends are probably dropping some serious hints, these days.
I think this is what I’m the most proud of at the moment. First of all, I didn’t have enough from one dye lot, so I was going to use another dye lot for the ribbing and hood. Then I created the stripes idea and used it for in between, so the whole main body and sleeves etc can be in the main dye lot. Plus the stripes look awesome and line up perfectly. Plus I managed to figure out the “work pocket while working body” thing so all I have to do at the end is seam the two sides…the pocket is already attached permanently into the work…and the stripes are STILL lining up! 🙂
I’ve finished the back, front side, front pocket and in this photo I’ve gotten to the point where I stop on the right side to start working the pocket. In real life I’ve only got 4 more stripes to go to finish the pocket and work the two tog and continue.

As you can see below, the blue onesie is almost done. I’m not really pushing on the progress for these ‘cus they’re not due ’til Christmas, and most of my projects are due way before that.
All I have left to do on this one is to weave in my ends and attach (and buy) a snap tape to the crotch, and also finish and attach the ribbing to the second bootie. I LOVE these cute little booties, can’t stop thinking about the little feet that go inside! But no, this isn’t knit, it’s crochet. Don’t flame. 🙂
The little cardigan for my knitting class is complete. Now I just need to block it over the weekend to be able to start seaming in Monday’s class. I am now completely aware of which increases to use when, the proper way to decrease for whichever effect I’d like, and how to make buttonholes, but Nicole (my teacher) is right- no matter which one you make, they’re still ugly, except for the invisible yarn-over one.
Yes, it was so many moons ago that on this day you were both born…and if we look at your parents it’s quite apparent that neither of you were switched at birth. Have a wonderful day, lots of cake, and virtual coffee at Bernie’s parents’ house like the good old days.
Love you both!
