30 Days of lists

I know I am very behind jumping on this bandwagon, but I love making lists and I saw Annie's post about this over on Wattlebird and I had to go check it out and now I am definitely in.  The idea is to make a list on a different topic every day.  If you want to try it, go over to 30 Days of Lists to get each day's prompt as they are posted.  They are on day 11, so I have some catching up to do.

Week 1's Lists
#1 A few things about yourself

#2 Things I'm good at

#3 I'm looking forward to

#4 Today's Playlist

#5 Weekend Goals

I really enjoyed doing this and i will probably race through the next week's worth of lists as well, instead of only doing one a day, I'd really like to catch up and be able to follow along with the blog doing it in real time.  You'll have to forgive the handwriting.  

If you decided to participate, leave me a link.  I'd love to see your lists too!

I'm really excited about this project! It's so fun to learn more about blog friends (and see people's handwriting - is it weird that I'm excited about seeing people's handwriting?)

Annie, I don't think that's weird at all. I think handwriting can help you gain some insight into a person. For example, my terrible handwriting shows that I 1)think faster than I write which leads to starting off kind of legible then going down hill and 2) my serious lack of hand eye coordination when doing anything besides knitting.

Ridiculously Easy 3x3 hat

So I was on my way out the door to the St. Louis Cardinals game a couple nights ago when I realized I didn't have any purse size knitting on hand. I grabbed a ball of bernat chunky and a pair of size 10 16" circs out of my travel bag and stuffed them into my purse to contemplate at the game. I wanted something so super easy that by the time the game started I wouldn't have to think about it. I feel almost silly sharing this pattern, but I figured why not. So here is the hat: I don't really intend to turn up the edge to make a brim, but my model had trouble keeping it on otherwise. Its really stretchy and should fit almost any adult head. Its long enough to cover your ears, so if you really want a brim, go ahead and flip up the edge. Ok, here goes the pattern: Ridiculously Easy 3x3 Hat Yarn: I used Bernat Chunky Needles: Size 10 16" Circs or preferred method of knitting in the round CO 60 stitches and join for knitting in the round. Work in 3x3 rib for 7 inche

The Illy Cowl & Pattern

I was inspired by the fabulous Ilene of Much Love, Illy and her love for mustard colored accent pieces, so when she very patiently dealt with my first blog advertising endeavor, I decided to send her a little something.  I had some designs floating around in my head, but this one spoke to me as really being her style, so the Illy Cowl was born.  (picture stolen from Ilene, with her permission of course)  Here's a couple close-ups.  It's an easy, fairly open lace-work pattern that looks far more complicated than it actually is.  It's also lightweight and comfortable on.    I played around and took some pics before I mailed it off.  Last week I worked on a purple version, which I inadvertently made wider than the original.  (Nothing like screwing up your own pattern, huh?)  I forgot that I only put one repeat of garter rows between the lace repeats, oh well.  The mix up caused me to run out of yarn in the middle of THE VERY LAST ROW.  Sooooo frustrating!  And it was during

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up.  My whole Monday night knitting group went mad ov
