Sexy Vesty

I finished my vest!!! It actually fits, so I'm thrilled about that. I also really like that I ended up using another color for the ribbing around the neckline and armholes. The only thing I would probably change next time would be to make it a little longer. Otherwise, really happy! :)

Super Hero swap

Now that my spoilee - SundayFunday from ravelry - has received her package, I can post pics of the projects I made for the swap! So here they are:





The finger puppets were straight from a pattern I got on etsy.com. The coffee cozy I made from a pattern on ravelry, but turning it into a cozy took some improvisation on my part. First time I've ever really strayed from a pattern (I'm a big fan of sticking to the pattern lol) but I think it turned out all right.

Next is my project for the Alfred Hitchcock swap!

ARGH!

I just realized I'm gonna have to frog about 4 and a half inches on the back of my vest. :( At some point I must have set down the project and picked it back up without remembering where I was in the pattern, because there a line where it's clearly off. Could just leave it as is, but being a perfectionist, I can't. UGH! And I was so close to being able to connect the front and back! Stupid perfectionism!!!

Up near the top you can see where I got off on the pattern.


This is how far I was (front view) PRE-frogging. *sob*

Long Weekend

Having Friday off was AMAZING. To think I still have one day left in the weekend after today! :)

I haven't gotten as much knitting done this weekend as I would have liked, but a friend of mine lent me Mario Kart for the Wii, so I've been distracted by that.

Still going on the "Sexy Vesty"... I ran out of yarn and the store I got it at (Off the Beaten Path) was nice enough to stay open a little late so I could pick more up after work.

I'm also almost done with my package for the Super Heroes swap I'm in. I realized that I'm all out of one color I need to get finished, so I'm gonna have to pick that up at some point.

I ALSO need to finish up on the cross stitch project for Hunter. His baptism is coming up soon, and I'd like to give it to him then. That's just a matter of washing the material and framing it though.

Well, off I go!
