New sock yarn!

I just returned a bunch of yarn (6 skeins to be exact) to Michaels and decided to treat myself to one new skein of sock yarn! The orphan scarf was so easy so I'm going to make another!

New (unneeded) YARN!!!

New yarn-y goodness! And 24" size 8 circular needles!

Nature Inspiration

I'm totally inspired by my pear. The color combination is amazing and I think it would make a really nice combo for a baby blanket. The lighter green with dark green accents accompanied by white. Beautiful!

Luna Blanket

I crocheted this blanket last semester as a commuting project. I though my mom would like it as a gift for one of her friends babies--sadly she didn't. Soooo it sat in my room longing for a new owner.
My mom needs a gift for a friend's new baby and suggested I add a ruffle to the blanket to make it more girly (which would make my mom like it more and therefore she would give it to her friend). So today, well technically yesterday, I did just that. AND I crocheted a yellow moon for it because year little girl that it is for is named Luna ;). The moon looks a little like pacman in this picture lol. The blanket pattern is the little v-stitch blankie from Lion Brand and the moon is from Crochet Today magazine.

I created a bag from plastic bags that I had saved. I fused the plastic into different shaped pieces then sewed them together. It has a rough around the edges look that I really like. Now to make another one! :)

Sooo, I don't really love to knit--probably because I kind of suck at it hahaa. BUT I've decided that I have to force myself to do better and pick up those needles! I like to do it, I just go so slow that I guess I get frustrated! HOWEVER, I've finally completed my first "non-scarf" knitting project!

I've made the pocket purse from the Klutz Knitting book :). This was my project on my commute yesterday! Now, it isn't as good as my crochet pieces, but I think it's decent. I kind of have a steady gauge...hahaha.

Anyway, I love it! And I've been carrying it around with me because I'm so proud that it's not a scarf! :)

I even learned how to knit 2 together! :-D

Alpine Frost Test swatch---AKA bookmark!

I did it!!!!! I was able to do the pattern and it actually, for the most part, looks like the magazine one! YAY!!!!!! Ok, so now I have a super cool bookmark!

This was done with an F hook...I think I might still use that hook for the final project. It came out 8 inches wide, when the pattern says it will be 9 inches wide with the proper gauge (that's with a D hook!)....so maybe I'll try and fix it, or maybe I don't care so much ha!
