Knitiot Savant

Knitting...fer realz.

   Doesn't this look pretty?  I started this to help another friend start her's.  It's Belinda from Mason-Dixon.  I got two hard earned rows done on this sucker before my cat decided to eat the yarn.  That's right, my damn cat ate about 2 feet of the yarn then pooed it out.  I love my cat.  I really, really do.

 

This is a Harry Potter scarf.  Check it.  It's all stripey and Gryphondor-like.  My daughter has fallen in love with HP over the last year and she wanted a scarf.  From this house...then she changed her mind and wanted a different house.  It's a little like the cat eating my yarn but somehow more painful.  Well, she's getting a Gryphondor scarf and she'll like it!  :-)

 

The more I look a this post, the more I realized I probably should have called it something like, "A list of things I have yet to complete or restart."  I have 2 other things to show you, but I think I'm going to go knit.  Just so I'm making some progress on some of them....and giving my ego a little bit of a boost! ;-)

P.S.  Looks like SOPA might be dying.  I believe at least 5 members of Congress have withdrawn their support for this terribly Orwellian piece of legislation.  yay!

 

 

See you Thursday.

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and that your New Year is off to a great start!

I'd thought about posting a sort of year in knitting review...then I realized I didn't finish anything last year! It would have been more of a UFO review. Since I don't do resolutions well, I'm resorting to goals and I think the first goal is pretty obvious; finish my damn UFOs!!

Seriously, people, it's making me nuts! It's made me so nuts that I went through my stash and took a long, hard look at my yarn and some of my really old UFOs. I've got a bunch of yarn to get rid of and I frogged quite a few old projects that I know for a fact I'll never finish. If I haven't touched it in 3 years what on earth makes me think I'll finish it now! Let's be realistic!

Pics later of the UFOs I hung on to. I think I made rock solid choices. Oh. Did I mention I started a new project? ;-)
