Frogging

Well, I'm still working on the darn February knitalong. I've had to frong the darn dishcloth about four times now and it's getting really frustrating. The good thing is that I've learned something new each time, so at least it's productive. I also changed yarns so the pattern can be seen better now.

I think I'll be done with it in a couple of days.

That's all for now. Life is calling and I'm just not getting enough time to knit!

It's all about accessorizing

So, this weekend I told you that my husband sent me yarn shopping. While at Hobby Lobby I found this tote. I got it on sale for the UNBELIEVABLE price of $12.23 and it is an amazing bag.

I belong to an internet buddy group and we've started doing monthly knit alongs. This month we're working on this dishcloth. It's my very first pattern based project I've worked on. I've sort of just made it up as I went along.

I'm really in love with the idea of making purses right now. I bought some purse handles and have Bernat Boa in red/black to do a purse. I'm thinking of adding some fun fur to the top of it, but I'm not sure yet.

I'm anxious to get back to a loom project. I've got some patters to do fun things like toddler knit pants and leg warmers, that sort of thing. I'll post pics when I'm done!

In the meantime, do you ever find on the nights you most want to knit, you just don't have the time? And on the nights you have the time you don't want to knit. we've been dealing with "fits of independence" from Zoe lately and while knitting is usually better than Zanex for me lately I just want to veg out and watch TV. Part of that may also be because I have so many projects rattling around in my head I just don't know where to start.

All I can say is I'm glad for my SpeakEasy girls because they keep me inspired, even though we are a new group!
