Ma dont read this post!

i casted on for what my be a thong. i did 2 pair of pasties for a swap recently and feel like making more.

its sort of liberating and a sexy and cheap way to destash. just dont ask me what i'm making if you see me in public all i'm gonna say is flowers.

ma i know if you read this you're either going to call me, start wondering if i lost my sanity yet or just shake your head. i'm considering this practice lol

creations

i've been working on things other than knitting lately, a dear friend of mine asked me to make her some stitchmarkers. so thanks to her i'm her stitchmark maker on call. i've only had one other customer so having her come back for more makes me happy cause it means someone likes what i can do.
as of yet i dont have a website for this hobby or a name for it, i'm open to ideas tho. i will be working on that soon.

as for me knitting i still am currently working on a 2x2 ribbed scarf that will be part of a set for another friend of mine. she yet doesnt know what its being made out of but that its being made.

pics will follow soon but i'm off to figure out if i can redo a website that i havent used in a few years

70 proof shawl 5 scrunchies and one very not even close to being finished hat

this is my current project list, i've completed 1 scrunchie, one left to band and seam and 3 to finish knitting on.
hubby's hat hasnt been touched in a few weeks i do really need to work on it since he wanted it longer than standard
then i decided to start a new shawl and get drunk at the same time so this new shawl has earned the name 70 proof cause i've had 4 drinks w/ 70 proof smirnoff vodka flowin thru me.

knit it frog it knit it ah screw it

ok i havent written about the latest projects, i frogged the same wristie i was doing for a month that i kept putting away. i shelved it for now as it jsut wasnt going to work on the loom.
so i'm onto 2 projects, a pair of long fingerless gloves and a knit hat. hats for hubby gloves are mine lol.
the gloves are a design i created off a stitch pattern. its kind of a checkerboardish knit purl block that for now looks like a line of stockinette & purl. i might checkboard it but i kind of like the way it looks for now.
that hats been the easy part its only been frogged once just to add 2 stitches so i could do the 2x2 rib. i'm modifying as i go i just hope i can get it done before winters oover after all i have 2 kids lol


and ummmm why the hell do i want to even look at a sock patterns? i'm not a sock knitter yet(sorry ma)but i keep thinking some yarn i have might make a sock and i do have dps.......damn it why is this starting NOW?! i dont do socks i just stated making a hat off the loom and now my crazy ass wants to make a sock....do i dare.

i need something to get that stinkin thought out of my head for now i got enough projects.

turquoise shawl thou arent neglected

i havent been working on this one cause well i'm scatterbrained. i start and stop enough projects and am never satisfied when i start things as usual. so i may start this one over on another larger pair of needles and maybe this time i'll get past my block.
i keep wanting to perfect my patterns and havent been doing that either.
having started the shawl as stress relief, i had to put it aside as other things were more important.
ok theres a little blonde distraction needing my attention again.
shall return soon

fingerless gloves

i'm making another pair this time its to go from tip of my fingers to near my elbow if i planned it right. i started today with the cast on and first row.
i had started it yesterday in the hospital but today frogged the few cast on stitches i had and started over.
if all goes well these should be done before the winter lol
