Hat with No Name


To be honest this did not start out as a hat. In fact, it was supposed to be a neckwarmer that magically became a hat. I was almost finished with it when I realized that it wasn't going to work as a neckwarmer. It was just rather silly...so it turned into a hat :)
Here it is!

To make time you have to have time...and I don't

So I haven't been able to knit anything new for oh let's see...4 weeks or so at least. I've been working on a hat/scarf set for a friend which I'm almost finished with and then I can return to knitting whatever I please! Also school & work have been overloading me so I really haven't had the time nor the energy to devote to knitting...Hopefully the holiday season will be good to be and I'll be able to make some time and get some knitting done.
By the way I sold two more items. That leaves me with only three left in my etsy store...this makes me laugh. I'm supposed to keep it well stocked but like I said; to make time you have to have time and I definitely don't right now.
Well off to finish some projects. The semester ends tomorrow so I'll be free to do as I please!

Blocked...

I've been struggling these past few weeks...I think I've hit a wall, with my knitting that is! I think I've started at least 8 projects and scrapped them all. I just don't feel inspired. Same goes for my photography...I started this project and I'm just doing it because I need to do something! It's very simple and in my mind very blase.

Day where nothing works!

I'm still recovering from my ultra-annoying illness that caused me to miss the PSU game in person. Unfortunately it is affecting my knitting abilities too! I'm trying to make an adorable little beret with this lovely yarn http://www.oneplanetyarnandfiber.com/PhotoDetails.asp?ShowDESC=N&ProductCode=SSP1-G152Lilac and I just can't seem to get it right. It kills me that I haven't been able to knit something for 4 days now and I'm not trying to make it FIVE!
I'm also on the hunt for a pinable dress form (preferably cheap) but in decent condition. Off to the consignment and thrift shops I go!
On the other hand I recently purchased Malabrigo Chunky in Mariposa and am anxiously awaiting its arrival!
Well, off to rest and maybe not mess up casting on once again (for the fifth time) !

New neckwarmer to come up tomorrow!

Since I'm a little under the weather and couldn't go with my original (and long awaited) weekend plan I spent the night knitting. I managed to complete a new neckwarmer out of Malabrigo Chunky yarn in Stonechat. I just have to say that, I LOVE IT!!! It is the most wonderful yarn ever.
However, on the bright side I am now able to go and meet with my wonderful etsy group! The Mason-Dixon Indiecrafters team! I am very excited to go and meet all of these wonderful and creative people...
Pictures will be taken tomorrow when there is sufficient daylight. I promise!
I need to think of a name for the new neck warmer though....
Goodnight to all!

What's in a name?


My multi-colored scarflette is finally finished. Buttons and all. I also found the perfect place to buy buttons! I just can't think of a name. I've always been very bad at giving names. Any ideas?
