Update....Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel....

And for once, it seems to NOT be an oncoming train.....well all is well in knitting, at least...

LeSlouch hat- done....the pics that i got of it turned out to have some severe red eye, i looked a mite bit possessed, so i'll have to do a redo soon....damn you canon cameras and your infernal red eye!!!

Ruffled Scarf-done, no pics yet on that either

and...

Alien Illusion Scarf-finished yesterday, its currently in the middle of blocking...fringe is cut and ready to go when its dry....and of course, pictures to come of that as well.....

Being that i've been the picture of productivity this last week (knittingwise at least, i wish i could say the same about everything else, but thats another story), i decided it was time to take on a new project....

after wandering around joanns for a while, and looking through my books i decided to do a small project, the Om Yoga Mat Bag from Stitch n Bitch Nation.....cause i found that i have a yoga mat, with no bag, so it felt right to remedy the situation....

i'm not really far enough to see much yet, i'll post some pictures tomorrow

Mission: Accomplishing

And, i'm back again, with an update on Operation: End Procrastination. Here's a view of my bag o' knitting early last week, when i got home from Dayton....






Kind of a scary sight, eh? Here's a closer look at the projects inside...





Ruffled scarf from an old issue of Knit.1.....in purple Moonlight Mohair....








LeSlouch beret hat, with a nice olive green wool yarn I found at Knitting Garden....





Aaand the piece de resistance, my alien illusion scarf, from the first stitch n bitch....look its almost done!! got the new yarn i needed, and i'm ready to finish it.....

Thats all for now, i'll post when i'm done with all of the above....

And it Begins......

Here is attempt 2.0 of me having an online blog....the other one got way too personal and ended up purely being a place for me to whine about personal problems......which kinda takes the fun out of things, eh?

So, now that i am about a minute and a half away from being no longer a college student, I figured it was time to do something new.....and talk about something happier.....which just so happens to be my love of crafts....

Sadly, crafting took a backseat to school for the past 4 years, but now that I will hopefully have a job and free time, and fundage to support my addiction, there should be some things to talk about.....so without further ado, away we go....

Current Projects:

I am a chronic non-finisher of crafty things, with about a million half started items of various persuasions....my goals for the summer are to finish most of these and start with clean slate....currently in progress are:

Patchwork quilt---the top is all pieced together, just needs to be stuffed, quilted, and bound off..

Alien Illusion scarf---from stitch and bitch. again almost done, just needs 2 more skeins of yarn.

cute beret hat (LeSlouch)---from a pattern i found online. this is what i'm currently knitting in my apt. down in dayton, should be done hopefully in several days. i'll post pics of that, as well as the hat i just finished.


I think thats all i've got for now, once I go home and take stock of the madness that is my old bedroom I'm sure I'll be singing a different tune.
