blog, what blog?
oh right, this one! I managed to post in the first half of the month, which is kindof a feat.
It's almost St. Patrick's Day, which is a busy time for any Irish-American girl, let alone a Highland dancer. (Which might seem weird, but apparently everyone is either too drunk or having too much fun to care that we are Scottish and St. Pat was Irish. Let's not nit-pick.)
I've been doing a lot of crafting. Finished a pair of knuck's for my dad's birthday, yesterday. still haven't given them to him. haven't even woven in ends, let alone taken pictures. finished a scrapbook page. frogged some stuff. made some slippers. will soon perfect pattern and actually put it up! (once it's no longer slipper weather, of course.) worked on some socks, well sock rather, which i think is getting frogged and modified. i have just been entirely too lazy to take pictures of anything!
and i know i'm a little late getting to it, but i must say, when looking at the new knitty, my overwhelming feeling was that i hate bulky, baggy sweaters! they're just not flattering! and i HATE loose sleeves, if they are long. bulky, baggy clothes are a HUGE pet peeve of mine and i refuse to wear them. ever. my pajamas are fitted. knitted fabric is stretchy! use that to your advantage, not to created tons of extra fabric that makes you look like a couch. (don't ask. it just came to me.) however, i love the vest. and i. must. knit. these. socks. now! if only the pattern was toe-up! i love knee socks, and will definitely be printing that baby out and converting it. that all said, i am weird about what i wear. picky. and i'm a little bit crazy, but if you are a regular reader you probably know that by now!
i think this might be the cutest amigurumi pattern i have found to date. especially for free! i wish i was better at sewing things together, because it can really ruin the look of an animal if the sewing is not done right. but i have yet to find real instructions on how to do it, so i just kind of play it by ear. and i don't get the best results.
i am off to do some knitting, photographing, and some St. Patrick's Day ready-ing. pictures soon!
