I make things

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!
