FO Friday

I have successfully finished my Blues Infinity Scarf in Petal Pink! I am so excited! Now I am working on my Cotton Candy Cardigan in Lavender. 

Also, I now have an Etsy shop, if you click shop above in the tabs you can see it :) Not much on it right now, but there WILL be much much more to come!

Progress, Progress, Progress!!!

   Woohoo! As of today, I am 5" away from finishing my Blues Infinity Scarf, halfway done with my Cotton Candy Cardigan, and making wonderful progress on my designing and on my Snowflakes Throw! Woohoo!!!! I love when I see progress in my projects! I cannot wait until I get them all done so I can start new ones! First on my list is a set of big sis-little sis infinity scarves in Bon Bon Print, an infinity scarf in Black for my aunt and to finish my mom's Snowflakes Throw!! I have realized that with my projects, I get so much more done on road trips than I do just sitting at home, blogging and having my ravelry distractions! I do love all of those things, but when I'm stuck in a car for 3+ hours and only brought my projects to work on, I can easily get them done in a short amount of time and even start another one. Or two!

  Tomorrow, I'm going to my dad's. Celebrating Jayden's birthday over there for that side of the family. Get to see my sister, grandma, aunt, and baby cousin Dylan. Afterwards, I am going to head to Hobby Lobby for some cotton and lace yarn! And possibly some more knitting needles! Hopefully I can get paid out today from R.M.V and then on Tuesday for Slice The Pie! Then I can get even more yarn, hehe! :)

Designing, Harder Than I Thought...

So last night, I brought out my designing again. I had gotten confuzzled and frustrated on what I wanted to design and how I wanted it to look. I got The Complete Book of Crochet Stitch Patterns and started looking through all of the beautiful patterns. First I decided on #15, a slanted look of double crochets that form rhombus' between them, but I just couldn't get my stitches to look right, obviously.. It just looks like rectangles between stitches. Was I supposed to crochet tighter or something? I used a H hook!!

I eventually decided on using a different stitch pattern, I fell in love with this gorgeous pattern. #88, it's a simple shell pattern with a slight twist. It starts to look even more gorgeous as I am crocheting it on my bolero/shrug. I think that it will have a fit body and fit sleeves up to about the elbow, then start adding some increases to make the sleeves fuller at the bottom. If that doesn't work, then it's straight sleeves for me. I am loving designing my own pattern and can't wait 'til I see the finished pattern on a person, published online and for many people to use!

Thinking about a CAL or a KAL

I want to get a CAL or a KAL going for you blog readers out there. I would like your input, CAL or KAL? Do you think it should be a mystery or not since it's my first. Let me know what you think so that I can get something ready! I want to start doing a monthly/bimonthly CAL or KAL probably alternating each.

Divine Dresses, A Dog Hungry Cat and DC Cupcakes

   My day started around 10 AM today. Early for me, late for others. Yes, being homeschooled has its perks! Around noon, Miracle came over and we hung out for a while then we headed to Brides & Beyond to get my prom dress altered. I can't wait until I can wear it for prom!! Then we went couponing with my mom and brothers. (Couponing Blog Address) Miracle went home and from there, I have been crocheting. Holding my baby fuzzy ball Molly Tamale, as I now call her, while I do so. :) Yea, she's just chillin. ;)
   My cat, Abby, although doesn't exactly know what to do now that "another species" has invaded her home. She has been looking at her and studying her, but only hisses or tries to attack. She has been better today, no attacking and sat almost beside her. Abby on one side of Steven, Molly on the other. Hopefully when Abby gets declawed, things should start going smoother between the two.
   Now, I'm going to finish my episode of DC Cupcakes so I can find out what gender Katherine's baby is, and work on my Cotton Candy Cardigan and maybe move on to finishing my Blues Infinity Scarf soon :)

Sleeping on Steven :)
