A-Tempting Warmth

Well. Christmas is done for another year. The leg warmers got finished in the nick of time. Still trying to get pictures of the knitted goods on the recipients. But the majority of them are in St. Louis right now, so that will have to wait.

But...since I finished the otherpeople knitting that means that I can start on something for myself! So I started my first sweater. Tempting from Knitty.com. In much cheaper yarn then asked for, because I might be total crap at this and I'm broke.

Started on Dec. 26th. Here is my two day picture:




Yay! The goal is to be able to wear this on my birthday (Mar. 10th) at the very latest. I thought I'd give myself some time to put down the miles of k2p2 and do something in between. I have a feeling that most of this will get done while Mike is playing DnD.

Ugh, work. Always ruins my best laid plans for blogging.

I'm not dead and I have some FOs

Take #2, because I allowed blogspot to eat my post. Ugh.

Since school, Ravelry, and dance drama have eaten my life recently, I have not posted in forever. But I have some pictures to share.

First, a dice bag. Now I do not play games that require me to have dice like this, but Mike does and I really really like dice. So I made a bag to store all of my much loved and unnecessary dice

Yarn: Patons SWS
Color: Natural Plum

Needles: US 6 bamboo DPNs

On Starbucks Thursdays my coffee gets way too cold way too fast. And my hands get burned. And I don't like the little cardboard sleeves that they give out. Solution? A knitted coffee cup cozy! Made using some of the leftover yarn from the dice bag. I still have a bit left, so now I have to think of something else to make with it.


Yarn: Patons SWS

Needles: US 9 bamboo

Both of these projects were made to break up the monotony of knitting 80 bajillion legwarmers for xmas. But the camo armwarmers are done and pictures will be posted in the next few days.

Now to go get ready for work. Oh, why is Canton 6 not having a late showing of The Golden Compass?! The are trying to ruin my plans!
