How great is this day?!?!?!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Why am I soooooo happy? It's Christmas, that's why!!!!!! *twirls and giggles deliriously*
Oh, and I GOT A PHONE!!!!

AND IT'S A RAZR!!!! A PINK ONE!!!!!!

The little guys loved their hats, too.



Along with The Phone, I got One-Skein Wonders. It came in a kit with US 9 straight needles, a crochet hook, and 81 yards of Patons Jet in colorway 12. It's sooooo pretty and soft and will be gorgeous as fingerless mitts (which is what I plan to make out of it).



Merry Christmas everybody!!!!

Hope your living room doesn't suffer from as much Christmas carnage ;)

Great Gaping Dropped Stitch Hole, Batman!

Yay!! John's Cool Dude Hat is done!

So that means, my Christmas knitting is done!!! *jumps up and dances*

It also means I have now have no projects to start and no new yarn I need.
*twitch*
I take that back. I need new yarn. Or at least something to knit.
So I dug through my stash, and seeing my very un-wispy Wisp, picked it up and started to knit.
And then I spotted IT.

Look at it. How on Earth did that sneak in? No amount of blocking will close that crater.
So I performed a trademark knitting technique.

And now my yarn problem is solved :)

New (secret!) WIP's

My brothers have been begging and begging for me to make them hats. So I intend to make them hats for Christmas.

Now it's time for the small problems to come in.

I want the hats to be a surprise Christmas present, so I can't knit them while the bro's are around. That means no knitting in front of the TV :(
Also, how in the world will I measure their heads without them thinking something's up?

Honestly, what would your brother (or sister) think if you just came up to them, took a tape measure and wrapped it around their head, wrote something down (which CO 80, K1P1 rib 1 inch, K8 M1 around, K2P2 rib 5 inches must look like some kind of code to a non-knitter), and just walked away?
I'd be pretty suspicious, that's for sure. And slightly creeped out.

I hope my brothers aren't light sleepers, cause they'll probably get a visit from the head-measuring fairy tonight ;)
