Stitches West today!!

Well I have my list and I am off to Stitches West today with my dd, sis, niece and mom and nephews gf. We are going to have fun.! Last year was the first year going and I didn't buy anything. But this year I have a list and money. he he he

Ok finally finished the slippers not a very good pic but I am not very good with a camera. Then some shot of the projects I have in progress.

Wow finally

So here are some hats I made the top ones are for my boss' grandson and the bottom ones for my grandsons' Christmas.

I couldn't find my camera cable and then the light bulb went off tonight. I can just take the card out of the camera and put it in my computer............duh!!!!

I am having a crappyazz day and it's raining but we need the rain so that is ok. :(

At long last I have finally put my slippers back on the blue loom and will finish those before moving to anything new. This is the first one I did with the ewrap now I am doing them with the flat knit stitch.? so they will be tighter.

Pets

This is our dog Chula and my daughter's cat Sunny.

Oh brother! It is so stupid

I can't believe I pulled a muscle in my back, the muscle between my spine and shoulder blade. Good God it hurts. Went to the dr. and got some pain meds and muscle relaxor. I have been suffering all weekend. I simply did some stretching after I had been sitting for a long period and bang, pulled muscle. I hate that.

2009

Yes I know it is already the 11th day but hey, whatever. Happy New Year to all. I have made some resolutions to myself. This way if I don't carry through I won't be ridiculed or really so I don't have to hear snarky remarks about how I won't follow through. At least this way I might have a chance.

So do you make resolutions and not tell anyone what they are?

Well here I sit trying to figure out which of the three or more projects in progress that I would like to work on tonight.

well it's been awhile hasn't it

I have been continuing to loom knit. Currently working on socks, another baby blanket, want to do another scarf but with a cable this time. Also want to make my dogie a sweater and the kitty a bed. So much to do so little time to do it.

my first cloth

Ok in the works

I have another baby blanket in the works and just finished two more baby hats. They got big awwwwws at the baby shower today. That made me feel great.

So for the baby blanket I am using baby clouds yarn omg it is going to be so soft and cuddly.

Chart of gauge loom vs needle size

Large gauge - size 13 in needles

Regular gauge - size 10 in needles

Small gauge - size 7-8 in needles

Fine gauge - size 5-6 in needles

extra fine gauge - 1-2 in needles

A lot also depends on what type of stitch you use whether it be the single stitch (e-wrap) or the knit stitch, depending on the gauge you get.

Got this from a post in Ravelry by loomdaze

Finished blanket

Ok here it is the finished blanket. It will work great in a car seat so I am not too upset with the size of it. I will make a hat to go with it.

Ok here is the baby blanket in progress. Yes I have made mistakes but I will do better on the next one. I would love to do this in pink but everyone I know right now is having boys. Things I would do different next time is use the ewrap instead.

Market bag

Ok the plan is to make this a market bag all though it is a small one. I am just winging it to see what I come up with. Sorry the pic is so dark.

Baby Blanket my 1st.

Here is the baby blanket I am making. I have made some mistakes and if I had time I would rip it out and start over but I want this done by the time the baby is born. So I will have to live with my mistakes.

I've gone crazy

I currently have three wip. lol I feel so great being able to actually make something. I will have to take pics later and post them.

Picked up new yarn

I picked up the correct yarn for the scuffie slippers and love it. These will be great slippers. Thanks Lisa.

Wrong yarn for slippers

that I want to make. Need to get quick and easy not homespun. So I wll have to find something to make this yarn into now. (oh darn) 8-)
