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 45

    No post last week as we were all down with a nasty stomach bug.  I finally started feeling better on Friday.  I didn't get very much done because of it.  I didn't even get out of bed last Sunday.  I was able to finish the  Sunset Hat .   I think it turned out nicely.  I was worried the Glitter and the Sunset colorways would be too similar, which is why I put the English Rose in between them, but I think the combo works pretty well.  I finished up one more dish cloth; another Star Fish type so I won't post another identical picture.  I've made one more dishcloth since the Nerdopolis tournament ended on the 30th.  We're in a break month now.  I had hoped to get a few rows done on my Holden shawl, but that didn't happen.  I'm going to try to get it done this month.     There is a fiber festival in June, the CNY Fiber Fest, so I'm starting to plan for that.  I went last year and it was very fun....

Knit Crochet Blog Week Day One

Day One (Monday 11th May): If You Were Yarn. If you were a type or brand of yarn, which would you be? Are you a classic pure wool? Is there extra tension but a bit of bounce in you because of your high twist? Would you be more like a high-maintenance, strictly hand-wash fluffy angora or a ‘bring it on’ acrylic, bravely heading into the world of possible baby-sick laundering disasters knowing that you will always come out bright and unharmed?      If I had been asked this question back in January of 2014 I think my answer would be very different from the one I'm about to give today.  Since that time I have started my second new job and have moved my entire household to a smaller city.  Granted the move was what I wanted, but there has been a transition period for me after leaving everything I'd known and become accustomed to behind after 12 years.  I've made new friends twice, gotten used to different policie...

YOP: Week 30 Lewis County Fair 24

      I wanted to do a quick update about the Fair.  We kept it really low key this year.  I entered 10 items into the fair and we only went one day to just look around.  We refrained from rides and excessive amounts of fair food.  So, onto my entries: I entered: a sewn tote bag, which I think I blogged about a few weeks ago.  It got first place then went on to win Best in Show. Sewn Tote with Best in Show ribbon I also entered the beaded shawl I finished in June, that also won a blue ribbon and went on to receive Best in Show. Beaded Holden mixed among other Best in Show items Six of my other items also won blue ribbons: Liara's socks Mandy Cowl Killer Queen Cowl Clean Windmill Dishcloth set Sacket's Harbor Mittens and Drops of Spring Fingerless Mitts The second place ribbon I received for my Hum Beanie is also in this picture.  Then I received third place for Sunset Hat. The first and second place entries for this class are in this picture ...
