You May Now Call Me the Melter of Cubes!

I never said I was normal. So I melted the cube this round, oh yea. Its my first time so I'm pretty excited. "Melting the cube" is when someone completes all six challenges in a round. I credit my cube meltage to the week of "vacation" I had. So my last challenge submission was for Giving Geeks. I donated 7 hats to St. Josephs Hospital Health Center. They were all baby hats, so they'll be given to newborns.

The two pink/yellow ones, the turquois and red and white striped one were what I had lying around. The true blue, brown and purple/pink ones, I knit over the weekend.

The brown one is Baby Bear Newborn Hat, and I love it. I nearly kept it for myself. I dont have enough of that color to make another. I do have more yarn, in a lighter brown. The purplish one is just a basic hat. I've done several if these now. I used that hat in particular for my team tie in. I had Daniel take it over to the Wells' with the teddy bear for baby Janet. The true blue one is Aston. I do like that one, but I didnt execute the pattern properly. It turned out a bit small, but I think it will fit someone.

Here's some better pics. Also meet Jordan, the best son I'll ever have.

Now, I'm really looking forward to March. I have already found a pattern I might use for next round. Although I may keep that one on the back burner for later, it calls for US1 needles. Thoes are TINY. Maybe that can be my dissertation next tourney.

Year of Projects: Week 13

I've started my "new" job/contract. I've worked for this company before, just not at this site. I brought a few projects with me, but I quickly ran out of yarn. I've been working on a dishtowel. I'm combining two patterns to make it. I'm using the premise of Stay Put Kitchen Towel with the stitch pattern of Lizard Ridge Dishcloth . I, of course, don't have a picture yet of the towel. I took my book of postcards and colored pencils with me. I've colored in two of the postcards in between knitting. When I got home at the end of the week, I had two packages waiting for me. I received an angel package for one of the swaps I did a few months ago. The cowl and headband are made from handspun yarn. They are very soft and pretty. My angel got me a lanyard set perfect for fall. The black kitty looks alot like Jangles and the flowers are very fall colored. There's a pair of snippy style scissors. I love this style of

Year of Projects: Week 11

I'm actually updating on a Sunday for once! I don't have too much to update, so it'll be short and sweet. I had mentioned that I washed and blocked the Drops of Spring Mitts. I got them off the blockers and took a couple decent pictures outside in good light. So here they are all finished. I used the smallest size of the three blockers. The middle size stretched the fabric too much. Blocking really evened these out and even though I didn't toss these in the dryer to spring the super-wash Mal Rios back into shape it sproinged back all on its own. I need to weigh these yet so I can figure out approximate yardage used, but my guess is its not really much of either of the three colors. I hope to do at least one more pair of these. I have so many little mini left-over skeins, its a great pattern to get those used up. I made homemade pizza on Wednesday. I use this recipe in my bread machine for the dough. It calls for a teaspoon of a

Year of Projects: Week 12

I had a fairly busy crafting week. Procrastination at its finest. I realized over the weekend I needed to get cracking if I wanted to finish up some gifts for my coworkers. A bit ago I made a Cable Me a Pumpkin Hat for Cara's unborn son. I wanted to make a hat for Bobby's daughter who's about a month old now. I have a bin of baby acrylic from my early knitting days. Most of it isn't even entered into my Ravelry stash. When I was digging through it I found some Bernat Baby Blanket yarn I forgot I even had. I made a Poppy hat for Bobby's daughter. Then I started on two blankets. I didn't use patterns, just winged it. I made a corner to corner in boys colors. I had a bit more girly colors so I did a larger one with the girly yarn. (I was also trying to use up as much yarn as I could.) I did a very simple eyelet border around the edges. I didn't finish the girly blanket til after I went back to
