Now you see them, now you dont!


These are the better images of my scarf -one with eyes and one without!
I still like how it turned out! I wonder how it will go over with the public come scarf weather!

It's ALIVE


This is just a quick preview of my finished scarf - in my uniquely messy room!
I used 4 skeins of the funky DollarStore yarn. If you can notice, it has a tail! I am tempted to add googley eyes to it, I even bought some medium large ones today.
When I have more time, instead of being 'ohcarp,Ihavetogetreadytogooutnow', I will put up a better picture of it [perhaps even with eyes].
The good thing about the eyes is that they will only be on one side, so if I dont like them, the eyes could be on the back!

Introducing..


FRUMPY the Frog!

Pattern came from PurlBee.
He's filled with rice instead of lentils/beans, so he's more slouchy.
I think he's depressed!
I was digging into a pickle jar of buttons looking for a match - no go. I like his mis-matched eyes! ^-^

The things we do for love

See those pink hobo gloves? Riana made them for me for Christmas! As we were 3ish hours apart for most of last year, we saved all of the holiday things for when she moved back to town. It saved postage on both ends!
This is the start of a scarf I am making. I found the yarn at the DollarStore and had to have it! Most people dont like fancy yarns, but I do - they have uniqueness to them and cover up most mistakes that I make! [The cats in the photo are Tier and the blury cat is Tugger]. The green fabric shall be used to make a frog!
I still have not gotten the hang of DPNs. I tried knitting looser and it still knitting into rope form. It's really quite frustrating!
I now shall drink my tea and start getting ready for work..where I might start making the frog or finish the scarf!
