Spring Into Fall

I just finished this beret. Its called "Spring Beret" and I found it on Ravelry. I used about 2.5 balls of Bernat Handicrafter Cotton yarn and size 8 and 9 circular needles. This is an easy project and should only take a day, but it took me a while because I started on a work day then had to frog it because I forgot to switch needles after the 1x1 ribbing. (I blame the Olympics for this.) I plan to get some good wear out of it from now to the start of fall.

Now my next project is the "Tilted Duster" from the 2007 Fall issue of Interweave Knits. I've wanted to make it since then, but it looked hard. I just casted on and read the pattern. It doesn't seem that hard. Wish me luck in finishing this in time for fall.

WIP Wrestling Finishline

OMG!!!! I finished 1 of my wip's for the Ravelympics and got my medal. It feels so good to finish the Crochet Entrelac Wrap. I may make another, but not right now. Now for the Lacy Days of Summer dress. I hope to finish this today or tomorrow. I'll load up some pics by the end of the week.

SWEET VICTORY!!!!!

I Took A Quiz

And guess what the results were:

you are lightcyan
#E0FFFF

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well.

Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working.

Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

Ravelympics

Yes I have joined the many ranks of ravelers in the Ravelympics. I have entered one event, WIPs Wrestling. I have like 4 projects that need to be finished before people beat me up. So this will be a good time to do so.

Projects :

Entrelac Wrap - Crochet

Classic Sweater for Guys - Knit

Lacy Days of Summer - Crochet

Textured Blanket - Crochet

I hope to cross the finish line, Aug. 24th, with all projects complete. Even with the ends weaved in.

Justina is practically finished. Just have to do the back waist and put it together and sew on buttons. I know I will have to line it so I will be looking for fabric. At least I know I will wear it in August. I'll try to have some pics soon.

More Knits

Hey everyone! This is my new project. The Justina skirt from Berroco. I saw it on "my life in stitches" and fell in love. I don't think I even saw this before while checking their website. Then again I don't really look for skirts there. Anyway, I love it and find it very easy. And when things are this easy I make many mistakes. Hopefully, it turns out the way I like it. I'll put a pic of my progress up later.

I am also working on a wavy tube top from here. I'm using Bernat's cotton and its pretty good. I hope to finish this soon. Its also easy. I've never done this wave pattern before, but its going well.

I also start classes today, but I will keep you all posted on my progress in knitting and crochet.

Flowers and Projects

These are the flowers I received on Administrative Assistant Day. I was so thrilled to get them. This is the first year I ever celebrated it. I really didn't expect to get anything. They even gave us a continental breakfast and a candy apple. Then it was back to work as usual.

Everyone is coming to my desk to see these flowers and giving advice on how to take care of them. I just hope no one tries to steal them. They may get kidnapped any day now.
















This is the front of my babydoll from "Crochet Me". I think it is really turning out well. I want to finish it in another week or so so I can move on to the Geometry Dress in new issue of "Interweave Crochet".




















This is the back.



I hope everyone is enjoying some good weather. Its perfect here in the "D". Unfortunately, I hear that the temp will go done to the 60's, but it beats 40 as a high.
