Yay!

So Jen got me to start a blog about my knitting and crocheting madness as I am way too busy to actually catch up with her it feels like, and its always fun to talk about my projects with someone, anyone who actually cares! lol. So working on like a million projects right now, I got about 6 bears to make for xmas which is coming way fast for comfort when I'm overwhelmed with school. Nursing school is so ridiculous I can't even tell you! As much as I love the idea of having my master's, I doubt it will happen in this lifetime after the experiences of nursing school. Plus having 100,000+ dollars in debt sooooo doesn't give me great incentive to continue on. Anyways, I suppose I have to graduate first and this was definitely supposed to be about my knitting and crochet fun-ness which I have been doing despite the overall overtaking of all my time for work and school.

Right now I have started a entrelac dishcloth for john's grandmother...the kinda picky one, and I'm nervous she is going to be like wtf. this is flawed cuz she just seems like that a bit. I love entrelac and so far its not going too badly.

Also need to make a second lacy round dishcloth (pattern by Rhonda White) for my grandmother whom I totally made a set of dishclothes for before I "learned how to knit" lol. So these will at least be an improvement if not perfect still. The round-ness escaped me somehow.

So other things for xmas include:
  1. pillow for john
  2. jack skellington for kate's nick
  3. bears for people...lots of bears that are definitely not going to be the 13 inches tall the pattern calls for!
  4. bag for john's sis with entrelac cuz i love it, and totally wanna make myself one!

also must finish socks at some point, but those are a hibernating project cuz I'm totally lost! anyways thats the whole story of knitting and crochet for now! hope to have some stuff done asap!

hooray for christmas knitting. I had all these grand plans for everyone's presents, and I decided that realistically, I was only going to get maybe one project done, so I made a pair of socks for kyle.
