It's Sunday!

I didn't start anything today, but yesterday, I did!
Like I mentioned in my last post, I am preparing for a small local show. I decided I'm going to make a few Knifty Knitter hats and see how those do. Nothing fancy, just straight tubes with 1 or 2 yarns at a time.
Short post today, I'm off to bed super early.

It's Sunday!

With all the hooplah surrounding the local yarn bombing (the entry right before this one, if you missed it) I have been starting new projects every other day at least.
I've completed a total of 6 tags, 3 of which have been installed. The other 3 may make it up this Tuesday. I have yet to decide where they will be going, but I do have a plan for the locations that will be tagged.

I live in Windsor, Ontario, which some people seem to think is a suburb of Detroit. When Detroit held the Super Bowl, several thousand people crossed the border every day to get into Windsor's full nude strip clubs and exotic massage parlous. We have several of both. I have decided that every one of them in the downtown area will get a frilly pink thing knit for them and placed on the outside. The male strip will get a fuzzy blue one.

Pictures will come soon!

It's Still Sunday!

I didn't forget about you today, I promise! I've just been busy.
Today was my first day back to work since moving on my own, and I decided to stay out late last night anyway.
In the in between time, I managed to start a new cowl. This one in Moda Dea "Cache" in the Siren colorway. It's being done on... Circular needles? (I can't recall the size at the moment, but I will post a more accurate description later this week.)
I'm actually very close to finishing it, more will come soon!

Sunday!

I have been SO busy lately! I got the key to my new apartment today, and I'm super excited. I have been all over the place this past week, and having a good time.
I finished a few dishcloths while using public transportation, continued a scarf I've been working on, and I'm thinking of starting a cowl for myself.
Speaking of cowls! I will post the pictures of Sonia's cowl tomorrow! I have the pictures on my computer somewhere, and I just need to find them.
As far as starting something new today, I didn't have time because of work and visiting the new place. But as soon as I start something, I will post!

This one is TOTALLY a cowl!

Yes, what I started today is a cowl, no ifs, ands, or buts about it!
Like I mentioned in my last post, Sonia asked me to knit her a "tubular scarf", and I googled "knit cowl pattern" and this is the first pattern that popped up. I picked up the yarn yesterday, Wool Ease, in Taupe. It's a really pretty colour, and my FAVOURITE yarn. I don't have any pictures yet, but I am up to row 11, and the pattern is really easy! The only change I made other than the colour, is that it's on 10mm needles.
I'm in the middle of a million things, but I will update again soon!

Sunday Sunday Sunday!!!

It is Sunday, and I couldn't be happier! Last night we put on a surprise party for my Dad (the big 50 this year!) and everything went off without a hitch. I can finally start to relax a bit.
I have noticed that I have a TON of started projects, so this Sunday, once again, is going to be a little different. I'm going to try to finish as many projects as possible. I have about 4 dishcloths with just a few rows to go, a scarf that needs an other foot or so, the wool cowl thing needs to have a real title and perhaps be finished and I kind of want to organise my stash. At the very least put everything into storage.
I'm hoping Samantha will upload the C.N.A.P. pictures today, she's been quite busy, as well. As soon as those are available, I will post them here, and on the C.N.A.P blog!

Sunday!!!

Today is Sunday, and this past week WOOSHED by! There was good stuff (OH! C.N.A.P. starting), bad stuff (my boyfriend and I broke up) and in between stuff (I started packing to move).
I did manage to get a little knitting done on all the WIPs I have, which include the all-wool (maybe) cowl, a dishcloth, and the pink Blossom scarf. I am currently working on a new dishcloth, which I just started today. It is the Beach Ball Blue colourway, from Bernat. I LOVE this colour! I plan on making a least a few in it for my kitchen.
OH! Moving! I don't think I ever mentioned this! I'm moving out on my own at the beginning of April. I'm super excited, but SUPER nervous!

Just so you know!

I have modified the way my posting works if you read my blog in Google Reader. I have changed a setting so only part of the post is shown, and you have to click the title to see the rest of it. I prefer blogs that are posted in this manner when I read them, and I'm hoping you do as well!
If I get a lot of requests to change it back, that's not a problem, I will.
Also, Sunday is a busy day for me, and I will not have time to start something new, let alone post about it! I am still working on the Blossom scarf, and a dishcloth or 2 and one square. I do plan on starting something at some point this week, and I will post about it then!

Start Something Sunday

Welcome to Sunday! Today is a lazy day for me. Sitting around in my pyjamas, visiting my boyfriend, knitting and playing video games.
I have been up for a little while already, and I started a new scarf. This one is in the Blossom colorway, same as the rest of the Thick & Quick scarves. Even though it is slowly starting to warm up (despite the surprise snowfall yesterday!) I love knitting scarves. They are perfect TV knitting, being mostly portable, easy to look away from and generally, fairly repetitive.
I have also been keeping up with my B4C squares. Sam and I are planning to have our very own knitting night soon. It's just a matter of getting together on a night we both have free!
I am working on a knitting project of sorts. It's taking a lot more time than I expected, but once I figure out all the details, you can be sure Ill update all of you!

Start Something Sunday

I went shopping with my Mom yesterday and I brought a square I started to work on when we were driving. It was an awesome blue-green paired with a regular white. It looked great at first, then I realized I hated the colours held together.
It was frogged and the needles were put aside so I could start an other square with them. Which I did today. It's the same regular white, held together with an unknown novelty yarn in yellow, purple, blue and green. I just started it an hour ago and I'm already about half way done!

PS. Sorry for the goofyness of some of the posts. I don't know what happened, but I had to delete a couple entries that were all mixed up.

Start Something Sunday

Today is Sunday. I am thinking that every Sunday I should Start Something. Whatever that Some Thing is, I will blog about it. I have all sorts of ideas in my head, and yarn in my stash, but the two never seem to come together. If I make a plan to blog every Sunday about something I started in the week prior, I will get many of these ideas used up. As for finishing all these ideas, maybe I will start with a Finish That! Friday post!

Today, I started a scarf. Yet an other seed stitch in the recently acquired Thick & Quick. This time, it's in the Raspberry colour, and 11 stitches wide. I am still using the 10mm needles, because I love the way the fabric looks when knit up on that size.
