So I've been negleting my blog for a little bit. I apologize. I've been wrapped up in Christmas and then my birthday. But here's what you missed...



Yes...this is exactly what you think it is...this is my grandma playing Wii. My sister brought her Jewish gluten-allergy boyfriend to christmas this year...i know...and with him came not only wireless internet for everyone, mostly so they could play world of warcraft all weekend..i know...but the Wii came too. Needless to say, my mom and my grandma loved the bowling.




I also got the Fitted Knits book for Christmas. I'm so excited. I can't decide which one to make first.


I also made my first ever mitten. I'm trying to expand my shop on Etsy and i'm hoping to make up lots of mittens and hand warmers and then once i master that...gloves. This one's pretty crappy. I found the cheapest yarn in the pile and went for it.





I also needed to make a hat for my older sister. I need to finish it today but i'll probably hold off till tomorrow. It's for a baby shower. She graduated from UNC and one of her friends is having a baby so she wanted and UNC baby hat. I'm putting the tarheel feet on the earflaps...only i havent decided if i want one on each earflap or just one...i have some decisions to make. In fact it's the only reason i'm holding off on finishing it. I have a problem with everything needing to be perfect and this is no exception.





I've also begun my very first sweater. I saw a reaaally cute one on ravelry and decided it would be my first creation. I also realize that it is a baby sweater and that it won't fit me. I figured that since it was smaller it would give me a better idea of the time and effort it takes to make one before embarking on an insanely large project. First picture is the one from ravelry and the other two are how far along it is.
