I did it! I wrote my first pattern and listed it for free on Ravelry. It is a cute and cozy pet bed. It is also a fabulous stash buster. I have made 4 beds and used up a significant 4,000 yards of the acrylic and eyelash yarn that invaded my house not too long ago.
I have had a severe case of startitis lately. I want to make my first Baby Surprise Jacket and I want to make a scarf from malabrigo eaither in a moss knit stitch or a mesh crochet stitch; I haven't decided yet. I haven't picked up my cabled sock since I got home from Gibsons or my drop stitch scarf since I got home from Port McNeill. I did finish my second ever pair of socks and a cute pair of slippers though.
Right now my main focus is to finish a pair of socks I promised my co-worker for her son. I almost have the leg done on the first pair. I am doing it in a twisted rib but I have made several mistakes. I keep telling myself that he is 10 and wont care but the urge to rip it out and start over keeps getting stronger.
Amongst all this knitting and crocheting I have even managed to get all my homework done. At the last minute of course but done with an average of 78%. So I am quite pleased. I suppose I should probably go work on it now...
