Yay! 8 bars almost finished. Maybe I can finish 9 tonight, then I'll be ahead. Then maybe I'll do a hat to match (I'll have to buy more yarn though:P ) I think I'll do a double knit pattern with one trapped bar.

Expanding, at least a little...

Well, I just got an email inviting me to join the Knitting Amys. This will be my very first kniting blog ring to join. Very exciting. I'm also wanting to join the fuzzy feet along. I think that they will make wonderful Christmas presents.

On the knitting front, I've gotten quite a bit of my PoA scarf done. It looks like I'll be able to make my goal of finishing before the movie comes out.



And I bought some new yarn (yes, more!!) for some baby blankets:

Yea! *happy dance*

Finally. Aparently the computer is acting really stupid. I don't know how to fix it, so if it ever "breaks" again, I'll have to wait for Richard to get home.

I'm a little farther along than the picture indicates, but I'm in a hurry and can't take another one yet.

Oh, and here's a hat that I frogged the other day. I love the yarn, but I just haven't liked any of the patterns I've tried. I might just do a simple roll-brim.

Stupid computer!

It won't recognize my memory card!! STUPID! I took a picture of my scarf to log my progress and I can't post it. I'll try again on my computer at my mom's house, but that won't be till really late tonight or tomorrow... by then I'll have another picture to post because I plan on madly knitting on the max and at the party I'm going to tonight.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention last night that my sis-in-law said we could have a knitting party at her house next friday. It'll be so much fun, I love knitting parties.

Harry Potter scarf.

So I've been wanting to knit a Harry Potter scarf for quite awhile now. I procrastinated actually starting it. I've had the yarn for a couple of months. But it wasn't till November 1st that I realized I only had 18 days to finish it.. YIKES!! So, I'm going to try my best to finish it by the time the new movie is out. I'm using the pattern found here: http://knit.atypically.net/scarves/azkaban/pattern.shtml

I'm just using Lionbrand wool-ease worsted weight. I wanted to use one of the recommended yarns, however I was having troubles finding a LYS that carried any of the right colors. I'm using the yellow and black for a Hufflepuff scarf. Richard's fave colors are yellow and black, so I asked him if he minded having a HP scarf and he said no.

Wish me luck! I'll update as the next two weeks go on. So far I've only done two repeats (12 more!) Oh, and all this while working a 37.5 hour week.
