Up close to show off my beads.


And a bib, no big whoop but I'm just glad I finished it :)

Easy Peasy… NOT!!!

For some reason, March got away from me. I don’t feel like I got a lot done. Eh. Whatevs. Perhaps it is the fact that I will be moving across the country in two weeks. Maybe I just got lazy. Well, here is what I accomplished.

1. fininsh that stupid skarf! (DONE!! It only took me six months.!!)
2. a hat for my old roomie, by monday night!!! (DONE!! The malabrigo was totally awesome, even if I did finish it late, and had to mail it off)
3. start a babette (at least 10 squares). ROLLOVER
4. start a pair of socks (my first ever) ROLLOVER but I did swatch for them.
5. a slouchy copy cat hat for my sister. (to be kept in queue until I want to make this.)
6. a ripple afghan (by MAY) ROLLOVER I am half way done.
7. four dishcloths ROLLOVER again with the halfway dones!

in april i also want to swatch for a CPH, cast on some fingerless gloves, and maybe a pair of Mosey. i know that seems like a bunch, but I am hoping that I get quite a lot done in april, as I will be having two weeks of vacationing, and traveling by car.

And sorry for the lack of pictures, but it is 2:30 in the morning, and I don’t feel like dealing with my camera

2 quick FO's

I've got a baby bib I made for a coworker who's having her first girl and wants ANYTHING pink and or purple :)


And here's 2 felted mice, in their almost finished state. Come by my blog on the 11th for the finished image, as well as my post about the pattern writer's book :)

Out with February, in with March

Hi everybody,
It's been fun to see what a productive month February has been for many of you!
It has been a bit uneven for me. I was excited to finish my Branching Out and I managed to finish off a bag for the 1Q challenge, so that is one for me.



I started the chemo cap for my friend D that was on my list and will roll it over to March and I am going to restart the guitar strap for my son for March as well, so here is my March list:
1. Chemo cap/for D/cuz she needs it/March 10
2. Headband/for ???/holidays 08/March 20 (2nd 1Q challenge entry)
3. Guitar strap/for I/April birthday/half done by the end of March
4. Sideway Spencer/for me/springtime!/3/4s done by the end of March
5. Wonderful Wallaby/for baby W/birthday in Aprtil/started by the end of March.

Happy knitting,
Suzie (suzenew)
