FO time!!!

Guess what!

My Bulky IHS is allllllllllll done!


I wore it to work today and I am so glad I had it.... it was like 10 degrees out, brrr!!!


I am pretty happy with it... could have stood to have it a little longer, but I ran out of yarn :)

Also finished is my beautiful pair of fetching, made from dream in color:


Gorgeous! I want to keep them for myself!!! hmm I do have plenty of yarn left...Maybe ill make some more! :D


Hope everyone else survived getting back to work!

Where my STITCHES at????

YAY!!!!!!!!!! My Ravelry Tshirt FINALLY came!!!!!


Woot!!!! I like it a lot. Although I did order a large, and was worried to find it so SNUG... even with my recent weight loss! lol. Oh well, it fits alright as long as I dont gain anything ;-) I do like the design though. It will be perfect under other shirts too!

Otherwise still knitting on my IHS.. I just started the second ball. So that means I got 34" out of one skein. Not too shabby!

Designated Knitter and I are in cahoots to knit our coworker a scarf & gloves, since she graciously bought us lunch today as an xmas present! Our idea involves DREAM IN COLOR yarn... so I am SUPER pumped about that. Ever since I knit my Rocketry (Ravelry link here) I have been dying to use it again!!!!!

Hope everyone has a fun weekend, I have several family Christmas parties... several with my future in-laws and fam (but they are all super awesome and I am excited)!!!!

Hiking Scarf #2

This last weekend I started an Irish Hiking Scarf for myself! I have been meaning to make another one, since I enjoyed making the first one for my dad so much...

At a knitting party the other weekend, I got FREE YARN (woot), which was Plymouth Encore Bulky. Well I cast on with it, and after some pattern adjusting I came up with this:


I modified the pattern to only use 2 cables and also have less rows between the cable rows. Looks pretty decent, eh?

If I can any leftover, Designated Knitter has convinced me to make a matching Irish Hiking Headband. I hope there will be enough! :-)

In other news (I almost typed "knews" there... LOL must have knitting on the brain) I completed an adorable "toasty topper" (from knitty.com) for my nephew for xmas:


Thanks to my teddy bear for modeling! haha. I hope the recipient actually wears it (instead of ripping it off like he does with most hats!)

Also I finished a secret xmas project which will be disclosed after xmas. If you want to see it, you may check on my ravelry.com (where it is safe LOL)

OK good luck with the last days before xmas everyone!

P.S. In other news I have been back on weight watchers for 3 weeks and have lost 6.2 pounds!!!!! Wedding dress, here I come! lol
