Thank god that's over!

I am just getting over a really awful sinus infection, Thank god! Im still not feeling %100 but im a lot better than I was. So last night when I was starting to feel better I opened my mail and there was the eyes I ordered from 6060.etsy.com and they are nice! If you are looking for saftey eyes at a good price (especially if you live in a place like I do and you cannot purchase them in a store) that's the place to go! So I decided since I couldn't do much of anything the way I was feeling lastnight I started to make a lion that is in the amigurumi world book i reciently purchased by Ana Paula Rimoli and with the eyes he looks so cute! When I get home I will have to take a picture and post it!

So here is some pics





So here is the pictures I promised. The first one is part of the failed sweater, the second one is the one I took of the snowflake blanket I am working on (it is on a slant over the arm of my couch so the one on the right looks smaller but it's not really) and the third one of something I made a couple of months ago his name is Douglas and he was just sitting there looking at me when I took the pic of the snowflake so I had to add him to!

Not so good....

So I finished the sweater but it didn't turn out well. It is as if some parts of the pattern are written for a larger sweater and some are written for a smaller sweater. So not that I know what is wrong with it I think I will re do it at home. Oh well! So I think I am going to make a pot holder today at work and then finish off some things I was working on and then put in hibernation for a little while. The first thing I will finish I think will be the snowflake blanket I started that was in the November December 2009 issue of Crochet Today! I will take pictures right now while I am thinking of it and Post them when I get home, not really allowed to hook up a camera to the work computer, or for that matter even have a camera at work.Ciao for now!

Sweater

I started my sweater this morning. The one in Crochet Today! May June 2010. I have decided to go with dark purple light purple and teal. I started it this morning before work because I thought I had extra time but I forgot that I was had leave at my usual time of 8am but then remembered that I actually had to leave at 7:30. Oops! Didn't remember till 7:25and had to rush around and get dressed and fix my hair. Oh well i made it! So I didn't get much of it done at work today we were a little busy but I have about 6 or 7 rows of the back done. I am going to go and work on it in a bit, just have to do some organizing! :) I will post pictures soon.

Pillow




So I got some great yarn and my back issues of crochet today! that I ordered last month and discovered that a pillow that I saw online a few month's back was in one of the back issues so obviously I had to make it right away! I started it friday evening and just finished it about an hour ago! It turned out great.

First Post


So I have been working on a blanket for the last month now that people have given me squares to make this. The blanket is being made to sell tickets on to raise money for one of our coworkers who lost his house and his parents in a fire in February. The origional draw date was going to be at the end of march but there were some complications and now we will be drawing for the blanket on April 23rd and I am super excited because the blanket is done and now we just need to sell sell sell!
