pre- fun

Ugh. I hate doing prep work. Prewashing for quilting, checking guage for knitting... they both suck, because they delay gratification. I guess i'm a better person for doing it, then, for having the patience to do it, even tho i hate it? Hah. Right. Well, at least i know my finished works will come out right, but still, i want to do it noowwwwwwwwww *whining like a 4 year old*

So this little rant about prewashing comes from the fact, that i am, indeed, prewashing some fabric right now. I'm making a present for my sister for her/our birthday. It's going to be quilted. That much she already knows. And since she checks this, I guess i can't really post anything else on the matter until i give her this thing!!! That's going to be even harder than waiting for this load of wash to be done already! But, again, all worth it in the end.

Purty new things

Hey errybody that may still read this. Sorry bout an extreme lack of updates. Over winter i managed to knit two really awesome hats, some scarves, and now that brings me to the summer knitting season. I picked up the Spring/Summer Vogue knitting issue, and fell in love with the first pattern in it- for a really gorgeous beaded shell. I'm not sure if i'll do the beading or the ribbon work, but who knows? I just hope to have it done for the beach, and as this is my first really complicated/wearable item i hope it turns out at least 'pretty good'. So, here a pic of the "finished product" as in the magazine: And here's what i have thus far: The yarn the pattern calls for (and for once the one i used) is Plymouth "Fantasy Naturale" which i got 7 skeins for $33, amazing price thanks Kathy at Kathy's Kreations. I'll keep this updated as i move along, and try to get some pictures of those hats up too!

warm n toasty

I made a sock! word! Dude(s and 'ettes) - it was easy as pie. Getting the 2nd one to match the first has been a wee issue (knit too much ribbing at the top... i don't think i'm going to frog it just because of that).. the 1st one i messed up joining the knittin' to a circle, and had one stitch too many which i had to deal with later and it kind of made a mess, but i so don't care, it looks like a sock which is all it has to do. the pattern was pretty easy too. yay for socks!
