What a day...


Yeah, I finished my first hat on Nov 2!! It turned out great... I'm totally pleased. So, I thought I would make another hat for Brad for his Birthday. I looked at patterns for what seemed forever, and every single on I looked at, I either had the correct circular needles, and not the DPN's or vise versa!@ UGhhh... anyhow, so I think I'm going to just use the same pattern I had used for the first hat.

On a side note... I love my critters more than anything, but there are the occasional days that I want to give them back (kidding)... today, Niku was sleeping on the couch and she noticed someone walking by, decided to jump up and bark her little head off... which is ok, but I was in the process of putting another log on the fire. So, when she did that I got startled and bumped my finger in the fireplace and now have a nice burn on my finger. Then, she ran to the kitchen and continued to bark... jumped up to the window seal and knocked house plant down and broke the planter, and dirt all over the kitchen. THEN.... Ichabod (cat) was laying on the desk, looked up at me and pushed my cup of coffee onto the floor (carpeted). SO, I have cleaned critter messes all day today!!

Frogged hat..

Today, I started my first blog on blog spot and I frogged my first hat. I was soooo proud of my self!! I got 75% of the hat finished, and no mistakes.... big deal for me!! Then, I was working on it... and a friend stopped by, and I went with him to the Dumb Friends League to pick up a new puppy. When I got home I picked up my project and knitted where I should have purled for 114 stitches. FUCK.... I realized it, on the next row... and instead of trying to undo those rows and pick up 114 stitches, I unraveled the whole damn thing. Ughhh..... So, now I have a full ball of yarn, and a whole hat to make. I so want to cry!! Ah well, what ya do (start over apparently)!
