Gah. GAH!!!!! (now with more gah)
What is wrong with this picture? Other than the fact it's a hat that's not sewn up yet.

Here, let me give you a hint.

I MADE A FRIGGIN BEANIE.

I haven't worked on this damned thing for more than 30 minutes at a time, and it shows. I just finished off the pattern and thought, "That's it?" Then I actually READ the pattern and realized I had COMPLETELY MISSED the part that says to knit in stockinette stitch until the piece is three inches long BEFORE starting the shaping decreases.
So I made my hat, oh, three inches TOO SHORT.
Damn damn and double damn.
I can't frog this yarn, it just falls apart from the stress. I'm stuck with a really shishi hat that will fit a Cabbage Patch Kid.
Gah.
GAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*sigh*
I'll make myself feel better with some cute pictures of the kid I took tonight.
"Look, Mommy! Michael play 'tar!" (he's obsessed with guitars lately)

Showing me his nervous vibrating bunny

In other crafting news, there are a couple of things I DID do right. I mentioned that I made two more mobius scarves using that Landscapes yarn...here they are.
This one's for Katie in Spring Desert, first as a cowl/earwarmer:

(like my jammies?)
Then as a scarf:

Then as a totally kicky hat:

(okay, I was kidding about the last one)
This is the one I made for myself in Rose Garden. I love this color:

It's so warm! It's been getting a workout the last couple of days.
I should churn these babies out for $20 apiece. Any takers?

I am yarn ninja!
