long time no blog

So it's been about a month since I last put something up. I take that back. I did post something but had to take it down due to a number of events...anyway

I'm back and have a few updates on quite a few number of projects. So the oldest, and slowest at this point, project has been my sweater. I was going along strong, almost getting it done in a week flat, when I got down to the lace section, which is really the end. And I realized that the lace pattern is ridiculous to understand and cannot for the life of me work out all the numbers to make it work. So then I decide I don't really even like the lace on the bottom and I'm just going to make the bit of flair and be done with it. And then I decided to thread in a lifeline and try it on. Thank goodness I did because I was trying to make a sweater not a boob accentuater. It is nowhere near long enough. Then it got flogged...for about a month.

I just recently picked it back up again and finished off the sleeves. Since I knew it needed to be longer I even braved up to order more yarn but sadness, knit picks is out of the color till the 17th of April. Oh well I'll just have to find other projects to work on.

Like this....(baby sweater for an old co-worker/friend from Mystic Lake Camp)

And these....(more UNC tarheels gear for my sisters friends baby shower)

And ALLLLL of these....(fishies for the fishy blanket i've been working on)

I'm up to 29 fish...

Oh and don't forget about this one too....

I've also managed to make another seed stitch baby jacket in this time. Of course in UNC colors with a logo. I failed to take a picture of this. My bad.

You'll notice some of the items I've made are baby items. I'm baby stashing at this point. My maternal clock is waaaay ticking with pregnant dreams most nights of the week. However I am not nor do I see myself being pregnant any time in the near future. But I am going to make and save items and i'm not ashamed of it. I like to think of it as "preparing for my future."
