and pictures!

and pictures!!! ok, so the left shot is a tiny bit blurry...but it's my only imperfection that i can find...somehow i didn't do something right and well...it doesn't look awesome as it should...



below is a closer image of my lovely knitting...i don't have the best camera...but the fiance does and i figure i basically own all of that...just not quite yet...















and here is a picture of it all stretched out! i am going to have to flatten it...but you get the idea...i'm going to start an orange stripe next and then i don't know what color...but a big blue one will be soon!









and you can see how curled it is...i'm using knit picks palette yarn fyi...and i do love it...i think i like thinner yarn rather than thicker...i used to be a thick yarn girl and now i like the thinner...but then again...i just love yarn...









and look it's my engagement ring to the left!
















Ok, so above is the doggy sweater that i made the pattern for myself...i still have to finish up the top and also the arm holes...but again...when do i actually finish anything!?

and there's my annual weekend packing for winter...having a fiance that coaches is stressful...luckily he'll come visit me a lot in the future and i will barely have to travel!!


Ok, that's all the blog I have in me...i'm going to go update my ipod :)

i should probably get ready...

i've made significant progress on my knitted scarf. I had all day on saturday to get down to business and switched colors several times! it's probably only 1/4 done just because i want a loooooooong scarf. It's so skinny that it needs to be long....i don't know how much time i'll actually have this weekend, but we'll see....

my ipod came last night!!! which makes me a happy puppy! although all my music i uploaded to ms. computer was through windows media player...and guess what? i tunes doesn't recognize it....so i've tried to re-upload but it's not being a happy time and now i have duplicates....so i may just clear off all my music from my computer and start over tonite and just put it all back on...grrr...but i may wait till this weekend....hey anyone know if i can upload music w/o internet?? this ip isn't on my parents connection so i won't be able to get my computer to work...but i may want to get all the music off of my old one...i uploaded alot from cd's in college :) i promise there was no illegal downloading in college....i just had everything named and shit. aaaaaaaaaaah....so i'll think about that today....and maybe i'll knit while itunes converts my music tonite....

**oh and this weekend i promise pics!!! maybe even tonite....***

and a new blog...barely anything to say...

i'm still knitting, and haven't finished any of my crochet projects. but that's not really a new thing...i switched colors knitting! and i did it pretty seamlessly! i'm so proud! it took me a long time to try that with crocheting and i did it instantly with knitting...though i do prefer the crochet since it's a little less stressful about not having to lose a stitch or anything!

i decided to blog this morning since i was up at 5:30 to work out...i'm in this thing at work where i have to lose 5% of my body fat by May 4. I promised myself that i wouldn't eat desserts until i lost 10 pounds! i lost about 4.5 last week and worked out 6 days :-/ it was a long week and i have to keep doing this for at least 2 months....then i can start to weaning off of it...i figure this is a jumpstart for my wedding...i wanted to lose like 30 pounds by the wedding...and i wanted to lose 20 pounds by may 4...so i should be ok by doing this early and slowly....i'll keep everyone updated on the knitting and working out

and a new blog....

ok, so no pics because i'm lazy and forgot to take some but i thought that i should blog first!!

i finished a project!! the football cozy thingy for my fiance! it's at his apt so i don't have pictures of it,...maybe next time i go i'll update it! i'm also making some scrubbers out of nylon netting for his mom...they're in a circular pattern and i'm kind of making it up as i go along!

i also finished another project! i made 2 doggy sweaters for my brother and sister-in-law's little dog and one was WAY too big! so i took it apart and made a new one from an adapted pattern....so i finished that too!!

i'm still working on some of the other stuff that's unfinished...the gray little sweater just needs some love and attention to adapt to my upper body....and the raspberry one also needs some work...but that wouldn't take long....

but...

i learned how to knit!! my friend taught me how and apparently i caught on quickly! i'm making a scarf out of knit picks palette because she told me i have to make a scarf first...and i'm doing the knit stitch and the pearl stitch...so after this i'll be able to do mucho more...i'm only learning because i want to make sweaters and there's more fun patterns in knitting than crocheting...but i'll keep up both!

well, the fiance is needing my attention so i'll leave this post be...hopefully i'll blog more...my scarf is going to have stripes too! i'm going to be adventurous!
