Yarn shopping

                            I love yarn, the look of it yes but also the feel, I tend to drift towards the baby yarn because of how soft it is without it being too big don't get me wrong big is fine I just think that thinner yarn leaves a more polished look to a project. I have a weakness, I went for yarn to make hats for my two brothers as early Christmas presents, they are both in the military and will not be here in December but they The Big is here now till the end of the month and The Little will be here in a week for a 2 week stay, this will be the first time all four of us will be all in one place at the same time in a very long time and I cant wait!

                           So any way I went to the store for some Navy blue and Marine corps red for their hats and came home with two balls of yarn for a hat and scarf set for my cousin, three balls of yarn for a christmas present in the form of a baby blanket to a young family who goes to my church, as well as a big ball of neon green yarn (my moms favorite color) even though I already had something planned for her, I shall just use the yarn I had set aside for her for a different friend. I cant wait to start playing with it all!

                            I did finish the baby blanket I was working on for the Lil Sis I think it turned out well but I feel like I should do something to edge it but I just don't know what, right now its just tooooooooo plain I don't like plain, I like fun, and new so i guess its not really finished at all, oh well I shall have to find something to do.

Unending pile of projects

                     Once upon a time (maybe a month or two ago) I dreamed that I would have all of my Christmas gifts for my minnesota family done and out of the way, packed in a nice box for them to keep until Christmas morning. Yeah that turned out to be a fairy-tale. I was to make 3 scarves 3 hats and a blanket, thats all, doesn't seem like much does it? I've make 1 scarf (1 really cool scarf it looks like legos and I will post the pattern) and half of a blanket, I've never even made a hat before so I don't know how well that will turn out. The saddest part is I'm not even working on the blanket right now, instead I'm working on a baby blanket for my lil sis and her friend at work. Oh well maybe I will get them done before New Years.
                      I have managed to complete a hunting scarf for my husband on a knitting loom that looks really nice (and will also end up here) so maybe I'm not quite a lost cause yet.
                     Ive also found how I want to store my yarn as soon as we move into our new appartment. Its really small so I was worried about how everything would hide nicely then I saw this and I loved that now I don't have to hide it at all I can hang it, it might take me a bit to post it on here because we don't even move in for a couple of weeks but as soon as its up I will share it with everyone.


Project to-do list:
1-Finish ridged baby blanket
