No big projects for me!!

I can't find my "I"


For whatever reason, my size I-9 crochet hook has been missing for a long time. And of course that is my favorite one for pretty much everything that uses worsted weight yarn.

I found this set here at Walmart Online and it looks pretty cool. If I can swing it this month, I'll get it. I like the idea of ergonomic handles, very muchly.

I need to go have a sex?

SEX - Stash Enrichment eXpedition - the act of going out yarn shopping for the purpose of increasing your stash

I need want some soft black sport weight wool blend yarn. I want to make a bunch of sleep masks. I'm going to use the crappy yarn I've got laying around to fiddle with and experiment with until I come up with a decent pattern in crochet.

Sleep Masks

I get all kinds of inspiration from the web...

This Sleep Mask (which I didn't do a very good job on when I tried the pattern:)



And this "Ball" pattern inspired me to make this:






(Black Felt sewn inside for extra light blocking)



Yeah, I'm kind of strange, I guess. (And I definitely have some serious gauge issues)

I DID IT!! I'VE DONE IT!!



I KNITTED a PAIR OF SOCKS!!! YAY ME!!

ok, ok, so granted they are baby socks and very short, but they still included all the steps and came out oooooo CUTE!!

Neither picture came out anywhere close to the correct color. The yarn was just cheapo baby yarn in a pale blue-green.

I really wish blogger was as user-friendly and easily formatted as my other online journal

Pic


Here you go. My phone camera apparently isn't completely horrid.

Please ignore the paper plate in the corner there, I had just gotten done eating some pizza. (it was very yummy too!)

Inspiration and Execution




Or something. I'm kind of punchy. I have this button. I had these old jeans. I am making a purse/bag sort of thing. I want to learn to embroider. Well, see the pics, I guess.
