A Couple of Pictures

Thanks Jess!! :)

I want to Go back on Vacation

So we went out of town this past weekend... And it was Amazing!! I miss vacation already.... Good weekend, with great friends... and new ones! We went to see Kelli and Dan by the way! A great weekend away from it all! It was nice to come home though, i must say! I missed my bed. My comfortable Queen sized bed is much better then the Futon i was sharing with Jenny.... no offense girl! haha. We had a great time though! Hopefully i will get some pictures up on here soon... just a couple of group pictures were taken. Hope everyone is having a good week.

New Year, New Project

Above: The bottom of the blanket. it will end with the same cream stripe on the other side as well. But im still obsessed with the popcorn border!!! Its so fun! :)
Right now the blanket is about 2 1/2 feet thick... and is 7 1/2 feet long. only 2 1/2 more feet to go and im done!!!!



I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!! We all did here. Not too much going on, just the usual, work work work! Thats good though! Not complaining(too much).
Anyways, with the new year ringing in, i have started a new project.... along with oodles of dishcloths.... i have started on my own afghan. I love the colors... something totally fun! Im kinda knitting it backwards though... the approximate lengths i have so far is... about 7 1/2 ft long and 4-5 ft wide. Big enough for my huge bed! Heres my progress.... im about halfway done with it.

Christmas Time is Here

Happiness and Cheer!!

I am not ready for Christmas to arrive yet! I want to soak up every ounce of it forever and ever!!!

Enjoy Your Christmas everyone!! i cant wait to spend my own with my closest family and friends :)

Did the math

So after i gave Aunt Carol her afghan... and we were curious how much time i spent working on it..... here's the results....

It took me a little less then 2 months(i slacked a bit)
I probably spent around 35 hours on it
I used 8 skeins
Its 135 stitches across
Approximately 320 rows
And about 43,200 individual knits

That's insane!

Blanket 2

The Border.... "Popcorn" Style


My Aunt Designed it.... She has the two thick stripes, so when she folds it over the couch, you would get a result like so.... the reverse side is the same, however it has two thin cream stripes, with the thicker Gray stripe in the middle

The Final Result! I am so thrilled with how it turned out! Its slightly bigger then the first one i made... they are both the perfect size to keep cozy with on the couch.

Task one Complete

Im a knitting nut this holiday season..... Just finished my blanket for my Aunt... i was slacking for awhile there.... but its done! :) I have a couple other projects im working on.... Needless to say, ill be busy through Christmas!! Carpal Tunnel here i come!
