Knittn' Yarns

So much to make!

I can not even tell you how many projects I have going right, AHH I just need to take a day off to knit. The first project which I have been keeping all informed about, the Misfits sweater is going to have to be ripped. It was so sad, as soon as I finished the logo I realized the face was not way to low. So my husband would have a skull on his stomach. Now I am have tempted to just put the band name about it, but I don’t know.

The second project is a tote bag I am working on for my friend’s b-day, but this is being made with the sewing machine, I will be able to finish that one quickly. The third project is the squirrel pillow. I think I will take that on the plane when I go on my next trip. That seems like a really good time to make some progress on the cute, but boring cross stitch project.

Well you may say, three is not so bad. However, two weeks ago I spent way too much money on yarn and have added two more projects to the list. I still need to cast them on, maybe tomorrow. The first is a pair of sock in actual sock yarn. The first pair is just way to much sock. Kind of like slippers! Speaking of slipped I picked up a pattern for a felted pair which has leather soles, so that will make project number seven. The other project is a very cute shawl from Elann, I just should stay off of there website.

Can there be more, of course, I found two additional patterns that I am just going to have to make. The first is a really cute skull hat from Hello Yarn. It is a must, if you can’t tell, we have a little something for the skulls. It is a possible maybe as a gift, but I have become quiet the self-fish knitter lately. If it is not for my family, I don’t want to make it. The second is one of the best sweaters I have ever seen. It is in the new issue of Knitty, it is call the tubey. However, I am on a temporary spending freeze. Unfortunately, Elann did not have a yarn I like to make the sweater, so I will have to get it somewhere else adding to the expense.

Oh yes, an answer on the poop, since I am not entirely sure how to respond to comments yet. I did get the sweater cleaned up and while it took many washings, it is now safe to wear. So frustrating.
