Fall pictures make me smile

Happy Fall!

Knitting Project - Day 17

Last night, Wednesday, October 27th marked Day 17 of my Ruched Cardigan Project. I actually finished the knitting portion of the project on Monday, Day 15. Last night, I steam-blocked the sweater as Cole looked on. I love how it made the sweater look more "put together."

Now I am on the search for some cute buttons. I am thinking white ones, maybe heart shaped?

Since Monday, I have been working on my 2nd Ruched Cardigan Sweater. I have made great progress. I am also finding that there is a MAJOR difference when you use a heavier yarn. In this second sweater, it is holding the "Ruching" shape much nicer.

Project #1 Complete, well, almost

As of Monday, I completed the knitting portion of "Knitting Project #1." I do not have a photo yet, but I am attempting to "block" it tonight. I have never, ever done this before, so wish me luck.

I have asked my grandmother and a few other "experienced" people about this process and I have gotten several different responses.

Technique #1: Place a damp towel over the project/sweater and use an iron to even out. I am a little nervous about this. I do not want to flatten the "Rouching."

Techniques #2-4?!?!: Check out the video. It uses various techniques.



So I think that I am going to go with the steam method. Hopefully, I will not screw this up!! ;)

I am Super, thanks for asking!

Check out my Halloween costume! (I am on the left)


'Ain't it SUPER?!? Hee-hee. I crack myself up! Anyways, this is me and my pal Zoey Redbird, aka Royal Rantings from the Queen at a friend's Halloween party.

What are you gonna be for Halloween??

I am sooooo tempted to wear this costume to work on Friday.....
