I still need something to do.

Yay! I got word that my yarn shipped! It should be here any day now! :) I'm excited to have another project to work on.

Here's a picture of the socks I finished a few days ago. Again, they are Happy by Wendy, Colorway: Aries. I love how the stripes matched up nicely and they are my high school colors to boot.
They fit fine at first, but may have stretched out a bit. I'll see what happens when they get their first bath. It's a bamboo nylon blend that I've never worked with before.

Since I haven't found anything to knit in the meantime, I've been playing a lot of WoW to take up that time. I've forgotten how addicting it is, since it's been a few months since I last played. However, I seem to be in a strange rut where anything I touch seems to malfunction somehow. The computer, WoW, my iTouch, the wireless network...everything. It makes me sad.

In happier news. I got my package from Ravelry a little while ago. I ordered two shirts and I love them to death!They fit well, are absolutely adorable and comfy! :) I also got a pack of buttons that match the Daily Dose t-shirt.

I have also discovered the dangers of leaving a toddler alone with a pom pom...

It is...just wow. That is a Jayne hat I made for my hubby. One that actually fits...Oh well. A new pom pom is easier to make than a whole new hat, right? I wasn't too upset with my dear daughter. Instead, I gathered the yarny remains and took a stab at needle felting.

My first attempt ever, making it up as I go along. I think it's going fairly well. :) We'll see what happens.

I need something to do...

I feel antsy not having a project on the needles. I finished my latest pair of socks, and they fit me! I'll post pictures the next time. I keep forgetting. I think it's a symptom of my antsyness. I don't normally have more than a few projects going on at any one time, and usually have a good idea of what my next project is...

It doesn't help that most of my stash is still back in Colorado...along with most of my needles. Having only a few pairs with me limits what I can do as none of what I have is really compatible gauge-wise with the yarn that came with me. Le sigh.

I'm still waiting for my package to ship, but it should be on it's way shortly. The yarn coming is for a specific project that I'm excited to work on for a dear friend of mine. The Aries socks were supposed to be my waiting project, but I finished them too soon...Oops! I'll figure something out.

In other news, we put up a Christmas tree! It's a fake one, but it's not a terrible one. I'm happy about it. It's been many years since I've had a Christmas tree, and aside from the Christmas after my daughter was born, this will be our first real Christmas together as a family.

The Army has kept us apart for a long time, and it's a difficult life, but it's our life. There are certain aspects that could be greatly improved on, but what's important is that we're together. :) I love my little family and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. The only thing I'll be sad about is not being able to see my mom and brother for a while. Moving and getting settled is somewhat costly and all...

I need something to knit. I'm going to dig through my stashling to see what it'll offer me.

Another Finished Project...

So it's been a few days, but I've been somewhat busy. Firstly, I finished the basketweave scarf! There is my wonderful husband enjoying the goodness of alpaca :) Since I had no other major projects available to me (most of my stash was left behind in Denver when we moved to Georgia) , I cast on a new pair of socks.
The yarn is Happy by Wendy, colorway is Aries. Since my first pair of socks didn't fit me, I'm hoping this pair will be more comfortable on my tiny feet. Don't get me wrong, I love my first pair of socks :) They were just too large... Oh well. We learn and move on.

I actually do have a commissioned project, but I just need to wait for the yarn to get here. I'm super excited! Also, I'm in love with these. I saw them and they called to me. I will get them soon. I wonder if I can make a matching scarf to wear with the socks? *thinks* It may work. Only time will tell.

In other news, my wonderful hubby promised me a ball winder for Christmas! Even though I taught myself to knit a few years ago, it's only recently that I've been inspired to take it seriously. I blame the Yarn Harlot. She amuses me to no end.

I have a package coming from Ravelry. I love getting things in the mail. eBay was a weakness of mine in college when I bought things just to get mail. Sad I know, but what can ya do?
