Rudolph Hat for Christmas!!

Is offical I'm crazy. I am trying to make 3 of the Rudolph hats by Sat. One down ladies. Oh and by the way don't think I will be making duplicates anytime soon of anything.

If I stay up late the next 2 nights I may make it. All the links and my yarn usage will have to come later I am in a major time crunch. My kids will all be here Sat. and Bri Z. will be taking the hats home with her so I won't have to mail them. The hats are for Gus T. and his 2 cousins. Maybe I will have pics of them in their hats:). Stay turn for blinding cuteness.

Icky knitting ahead.

Its not a baby sweater, but its not a knitted fish so maybe I can move on. The hat will be a doll hat for one of Ya's bald headed dolls. Icky knitting was involved. I guess if I stay away from knitting or crocheting a variety of items I forget how . I need to be tested I swear. I should knock off a really difficult project to get my mojo working. Whats not so funny is all projects are turning into really difficult projects.
Nan and I have started the basket of kitchen things to be left by the door at Christmas for a grab it gift to all who stop by. If mom makes her potholders I will be the grabber.
Well my dears I hope your knitting is lovely and you are excited about your next project. You may wish that right back at me if you want to :)

Red Fish, Blue Fish...Yellow Fish...

There should be a school of fish by now. I just cannot seem to knit these little buggers any faster. Its getting to me. I need to start another project,but Gus T. needs his fish blanket done before he grows up and has another theme in his room.
Heres the skinny. I could not find the site I printed my pattern from. (remember computer crash) This site is close fish
The book BABIES AND TODDLERS (a knitters dozen) also has a pattern that is similar and a little more complicated. I love the look and the pattern my dears I am just dragging my feet on this because it is not mittens, hats, baby sweaters. I feel a baby sweater coming on got to go:)

Mindless Projects Are A Very Good Thing!

I just love mindless projects. I use to keep a project near my computer, those days are gone yesiree I am smokin. I love the new connection the sat. gives me. Seriously I am in love .
The knit cloths are the simple Bernat cloth that I think they may have dropped for I could not find it to link. The crocheted cloths are simple circles, and squares. I used Sugar and Cream and a G hook.
I am back doing fish. I must be the world's slowest fish knitter. I now have the attention span of a knat. I am going to start another project. Oh how I love lookin for new projects especially at high speed :)

Puppy Love

I am trying to download a picture. I think this phone wiring deal will not let me, but I must try.
The picture is not of a project it is a pic I snapped of Cooper Lou. I was moping the floor and put his lamb pillow up on the seat with his blanket from his doggie bed (he is cold natured). He followed the pillow up on the seat naughty naughty old puppy. I was impressed with his hips he made it. Do you think he was scolded?
I will get on a list soon for faster connection. I may not sleep for awhile I just cannot wait. Hugs

Dial up would not let me.heheheheh. I got Sat. so this was my test pic. Yea for me. I am so happy

So long my Precious :)

This is just my projects blog BUT..... since I have been gone so long ...heres the story. My computer died. It was sad. Wp had to pry my hands from the cold keyboard. I have a brand spanking new computer now and I will at some point love this new one and the keyboard. I already love the bigger screen, but the keyboard grrrr. I still have to figure this all out.

My son helped me set everything up. That is why we call him Sweet Michael. He gave me the bad news my phone lines are very old and that is why even my new computer will time out. Looks like poor me will get Sat. internet before long. I can not wait. Seriously a 6 year old at Christmas could not be more excited. I will have to shop around, but it looks like I will only be paying 10 dollars more. (Slaps forehead).I can drop the other phone line and dial up and then with just the new hook up and two providers offer that free at times. As my grandson says, "holey moley cow".

I have been painting and fixing up a bedroom and our living room a tad so I don't have tons of things to blog about, but a few things have slid off the needles.

When everything is all set up I may not sleep for awhile playing catch up with everyones projects and blog reading. (((((Happy Dance)))))

Love them Panda Paws

I was visiting the

blog

knitting nonni. This lady inspires me. I am sure I am older than she is, but I want to grow up and knit and crochet like she does. Deep sigh I just love to look at her pile of mittens. My donation box is not that big. I will do better. Well any way she had a link to Panda mans site for some mittens. This guy is amazing. You know the BSJ I have made and I am always planning another and it never happens. Panda man has a pattern for the SK version. It is soooooo cute. He is very generous and shares his patterns. Its like this please God to not let me die till I get one of these made.

Ok I am back on track Panda Paws thats the link to the mittens I made. I love this pattern. The yarn is from Hobby Lobby. The name of the yarn is : I love this yarn. It self stripes with a little manipulation. The small ball next to the sk is all took off to contol the stripes. I think they look really good. I will keep this pattern in my fav. folder. I love how he is a bump counter :) a boy after my own knitting heart. If you knit them you will understand. I deem this my perfect garter mitten pattern.
