Hmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Campus Back Posted by Hello

Well, I am almost done with the back of Campus. I was going to try and get it done before I posted a picture of it, but oh well. I think I only have like 10 more rows to go, so I'm not that far off. But now that I'm looking at it, I think my gauge is a little off. It is supposed to be children's size 4, but I think it actually might fit me. I never really got gauge. It was kinda just like, lets try it and if it comes out big, oh well. My mom is the same way too. I guess we are just so anxious to start a sweater that we forget to make a gauge swatch. I'm been trying to use the yarn that the pattern calls for, but I always find something better, but of course the gauge isn't exactly right. It never is. But who cares. I'd rather work with some thing I like the something the pattern calls for. You know what I mean????????

Almost There

Well, I'm almost up to the armholes on my Campus sweater. It is really fun to work on and goes really quick.
My mom and I were bad today. We went back to the yarn shop to find more Pronto and my mom, of course, found something else. She is making me a lightweight sweater to wear over my bathing suit. It is really cute. I will post pictures of them tomorrow. I'm off to bed. I have to get up at 5:30am tomorrow. Not fun.

My New Project


Campus Posted by Hello

Well, here is my newest project. It is a sweater for one of the little kids in the neighborhood, Toni. I'm using Berroco Pronto. It works up great and the pattern is awesome. I found it in Inspiration Nr.62 S3. They have some really cute things in that book. I think I've made one or two others from Inspiration. And the directions are easy to understand, so that is good.

Here it is


Beetle Cake Posted by Hello

Well, here it is. It took about 5 hours, but it is finally done. I am sooooooo happy. I was worried it wouldn't come out ok, because I couldn't find flower decorations for the wheels, but I guess my brain kicked in. Good thing, otherwise it wouldn't have looked that good. Now I'm off to paint my nails and toes.

Oh by the way, I went to he yarn shop today and found this beautiful lavender yarn. I think it is Pronto. I'm going to start a baby sweater with it, but I have to find a pattern. Any suggestions??????

Flower Power

I just started a flower power cake for one of my best friend's children. I made the cake part, but now I have to let it cool. I will post a picture when I'm done with decorating it. I think I'm going to the pool for a while and then food shopping to get the decorating stuff. Hopefully I'll get back at a reasonable time so I won't be decorating it until 2 am. That is like the only thing I hate about baking, you have to be patient. I guess I'm just not that patient. Oh well. As soon as it comes out of the oven I want to decorate it. I've done that a few times and let me tell you, it didn't turn out good.
Anyways, hopefully going to the pool will get my brain off thinking about the cake. It is going to be awesome when it is done. I just can't wait. Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! The suspense is killing me.
Ok I really got to get out of the house. I'll post the picture later.

My Latest Creation


Baby Katherine's Sweater Posted by Hello

Here is one of my latest creations. It was for my little neighbor Katherine. She loves it and every time I see her, she is wearing it. I followed a pattern, but I decided I didn't want it all one color so I changed it up a little bit. I think it looks good this way.
My Mom used to make baby sweaters when I was little and sell them. She came up with very interesting things, and some of them weren't very pretty, but anyways. She used to call her company 'Wignuts'. So now I use that name for my baby sweaters.

Just Starting

I'm just starting this blog thing, so I don't really know what I'm doing. Hopefully this will work. I'm crossing my fingers (and toes). A lot of my friends have blogs, but I've never had time. So I probably won't be on that much. Oh well.
I really like to knit. My mom taught me when I was about 2 years old and I have loved it ever since. Especially knitting baby sweaters. I like them because they are quick and easy. I like to accomplish things. I made a few adult sweaters, but I gave up on them a long time ago. Because that took a long, long time to make.
Now I trying to make some pairs of socks, btu once I finish the first one, I don't feel like doing the second one. I just hate casting-on. Does anyone have any suggestions??????
