WIP: punching another rug.

I've been hunched over this rug for 3 hours now. It's due next Wednesday, so I have to get moving. My back hurts and I'm starving so this is all you get today.

WIP: an autumnal garland.

I know, I'm certifiable, right?

I should just finish something.

Here's the thing: I love to have something small and easy to work on while I watch t.v. at night.

I'm bored with pumpkins. I needed a break and I have a really good garland spot picked out.

So, yeah.

I'm making another thing.

sneak peek: paint-by-number clown.

Today has been the most lazy day ever!

-I put bean soup (from the Little House Cookbook) in the crock pot.

-I watched the kitties roll around in cat nip.

-I worked on my fall wardrobe and a halloween pinterest boards.

-I watched Dave play Paperboy for a while.

-I ate breakfast @ 2:30.

-I worked on a little clown paint-by-number.

and now, I'm going to get an obnoxiously long bubble bath before leaving to knit at Lea's house!

Sometimes, you just need to recharge your batteries.

What are YOU up to today?

wip wednesday: cats + yarn.

I finally finished the back of the sweater! In order to celebrate, I decided to cast on a "quick and easy" project that ties in with my upcoming bathroom restyling. We've already painted, and I've pinned some exciting things. I just need to pick a direction and go with it. It's been the same for so long, I'm really excited about a little change. I may even try to make a shower curtain. It's proving to be crazy difficult to find a mid-century inspired shower curtain that isn't vinyl.

In the meantime, I'm working on some organic cotton hand towels in my favorite color. Regardless of the way the bathroom turns out, I know I'll love these.

WIP Tuesday

1. Another Ganomy Hat (for a personal swap)




2. A secret project, that I'm having yarn issues with.




3. The second RPM sock (from which I'm suffering a giant cast of the SSS)

Plus: the hibernators; Mr. Besotted Scarf, Miss Branching Out, and The Moderne Log Cabin Blanket of Doom.

So, as you can see I really should be knitting. While I do that, you all can watch a video:

Tilly and the Wall - The Freest Man

halfapair=onesock

The first RPM sock is complete! I'm kinda proud of this lil' guy, he's my first sock where an actual stitch pattern was involved. I also got to try a short-row heel (and then sew up the disgusting row of holes) and a fancy-dancy pointed toe.

I started a pretty awesome hat this week, but i had a nasty migraine all day so I didn't take any WIP pictures. You'll see it soon enough. Hopefully it will be the first item in the long awaited Knitxcore's etsy shop. maybe.

I feel like a post isn't complete without a cute video, and it keeps you all coming back. So today you get this:

Tender Forever - Magic of Crashing Stars

WIP Wednesday.

I know I've talked a lot about my Moderne Log Cabin Blanket, but I haven't actually shown the people out there in BloGlAND my progress. It's already huge! I've used about 10 balls of Elann.com's Sonata and I have 10 more waiting in a bag. Unfortunately, that's not even enough. I'm terrible at math, it was one of my first big projects and I thought that 50 grams of yarn was the same yardage no matter what I used. I was wrong.

It's been a pretty relaxing knit, tho. Row after row of garter stitch on size 6 needles really does keep you from punching everyone you know in the face and locking yourself in your bedroom. It's also convenient when watching movies with subtitles, as you don't have to pay much attention to what you're doing.

Look what the KokkA fabric turned into!!!! yeah, it's a doorstop. I'm still in shock that I actually made this. Of course, it's from my new favorite book ever, Simple Sewing. The book is set up into different levels, this project being a level 3. I approached it kind of nervously, since I haven't sewn in quite awhile. I didn't want to make any mistakes because, I'd only bought enough fabric to make it once with no room to mess anything up. So, I was pretty excited that it came out so nicely. If any of you are planning on doing this one yourself, Lotta Jansdotter buys extremely large magic beans from the extremely large magic bean store and 5 lbs. wasn't nearly enough. I opted to stuff the top with fiberfill, thanks to some good advice from The Absent Knitter's Journal.
