Lunch Break

I officially have two minutes left in my lunch break and then I have to force myself off of the internet (Ravelry in particular) and get back to work.

I was sick for almost a week starting last Wednesday, so I was able to make some pretty serious headway on my "sexy vesty." (hehe I love the name....I'm a dork like that) Now I'm into the complicated part so it might result in a call to Jacqui for advice - and I'm overdue for a call to her anyways. Need to see how VA is!

ANYWAYS, I keep looking at patterns on Ravelry and wanted to start new projects, but it takes every fiber of my being (haha get it? *groan*) to stop from starting yet another new project. I'm also in the middle of a blanket for my Godson as well as finishing up the cross stitch project for him and the various items for my spoilee in the "Super Hero Swap" on Ravelry. So I need to stop looking at patterns. Really. But they're all so pretty......

OK, back to work. I ran two minutes over. Oops. :)

My First Hat!

So I went out and bought some double pointed needles right after work and finished the stitching on my first hat! Now all I need to do is pick out a couple buttons to add the finishing touches! I'd upload pics, but unfortunately my computer takes ten billion years to load things, so I'm waiting for my new computer to arrive before I do that.

That's right - NEW COMPUTER! :) After consulting with my friend Kyle, I went out and bought a new Toshiba laptop. I'm uber excited about having a computer that moves at a halfway decent speed. Yay!

Anyways, back to my projects. When I got the double pointed needles, I also picked up the materials I needed to start on my first swap project from ravelry. It's a super hero swap, and I think I have a pretty good idea for this part of my package. Hopefully my spoilee will like it. :)

Past Projects

Home sick today, so I've been watching movies and knitting. Thought I'd take a break and post some pics from past projects I've worked on. Here are some of the counted cross stitch ones I've already finished:

Back to my knitting!

CRAFTINESS!

Just recently, Jacob discovered a coffeeshop/knitting store (the realization of mine and Jacqui's plan for some day down the road) which shoved the crafty side of Mallory into full throttle. I joined ravelry.com, a knitting website where you can meet and talk to other knitters (and other crafters in general), which is what prompted me to start up this blog.

I know, I have about a bazillion blogs out there, but this one won't be me whining and complaining about things in my life. Instead I'm going to post updates on projects I'm working on, want to work on, and have finished.

....and maybe a little comment here and there about life. :)

So here it is - a blog about my craftiness. Enjoy!
