UFO’s ABOUND!

I have a large variety of UFO’s to my name right now. Wouldn’t that be cool if I was talking about flying sausers? I’d want those too

I added 3 new hats to the project list for Minnesota. I think I will finish 2 deffinately. I can’t bring my massive shark hook of a cable needle on the plane so I’m going to have to make due with mock cables :)

Snail Mitt’s take 2
With a little extra something :)
Endpaper Mits. Can you see the 1 billion mistakes? These are getting frogged in the near future not only because of the crazy mis counting mistakes, but because they are tiny!!!
About 1/2 way done with Dependence. This hat is seriously fiddly but beautiful. It’s knitting up quite nicely in Malabrigo worsted (Bobby Blue).  I’m going to have to do some serious math & tinkering though when it get’s to the crown because ever other project I’ve seen has the “nipple” head affect. Not attractive in the least.
Hello lovely! Isn’t it beautiful? I’m quite a happy camper. This bag has spring loaded hinges so it stays nice & open & nice & closed depending on what I want :) Also the strap is the perfect length being that it sits right as a good purse should, right at the ribs (slightly on the back) but short/long enough that I can whip it right around in front so I don’t have to think about people’s hands going in there. Yes I realize I’m from Minnesota & I’ve never been pick pocketed, but that might also be because in crowds I wear my purse UNDER my coat. Just a thought. That was taught to me by my cousin who did have her purse slashed open on the subway.

Caramel Hat Take 3

Yes, another one. They are all slightly diffrent but not very much so. One I hemmed the edge to make a beanie, one I left out the ribbing at all & had the cables right down to the brim & this one, well, this was knit as the pattern directed.

Malabrigo Mernio Worsted in Olive on US 6 & 8′s. Perfectly stretchy for the man’s head it’s intended for. Nice & long too. Only thing I did was omit one chart repeat in the actual body of the hat.

I think my monitor at home is crazy bright compared to any I’m currently using. These pictures all look so DARK. Please comment if it’s dark on your screen too so I can adjust at home. I’ll get some better pictures of the recipient wearing this I promise. :)

I am currently working on quite a few diffrent hats because I am on sweater burn out & have lots of random 1 skein colorways to my name. Right now I am doing Dependence in Bobby Blue (looks like robins egg blue to me!) Malabrigo Mernio. I have about…7 more skeins of malabrigo in random colors so if you are so inclined to request a 1 skien project (hat, scarf, fingerless mits) let me know I’d be happy to whip those out for you. :)

In some random notes:

1. I saw a tow truck yesterday that literally had one car chained on top of another car it was towing. I tried to take a picture but alas, his load was too heavy to go my speed & I wasn’t about to be a dick to people behind me also trying to get to work.

2. I think I need to start going to a diffrent starbucks for my mid afternoon 1pt (on weight watchers) latte because I keep standing next to super model wanna-be’s. I have never felt so short & fat & ordinary in all my life.

3. A small hawk flew about 3 feet in front of my face this morning while I was walking up to work, it swouped up to a light pole & shook it’s but at me agressively. I again wish I had my camera.

4. I lost 4.8 pounds last week. Last night I had my first official weigh in at weight watchers & I seem to be doing good. I know weight watchers works, and I like rules so it’s a good fit for me. Almost 5 pounds in the first week. I’m pretty happy about that. My goal is to get back to my pre-wedding weight by Matt & my 5th anniversary this September. That’s about 35 pounds & I know I can totally do that. I have a much further long term goal but lets all celebrate the small victories. :)
