Interlacing Loops

I made this rag quilt, I found a pattern online (I can't find where it was, sorry), and it was fairly simple to do up, and they aren't lying when they say you don't have to be very specific with the seems, which is good, 'cause mine were all messed up, hehe.

This is the cushion I made for the bench that Sly made, he made it for the cats, and underneath it holds their food bowls and maybe their cat boxes, soon. I'm not overly happy with it, I didn't really pay attention to the pattern and of course, it doesn't line up. I'm not sure if I'll remake it or not, or just wait until the cats scratch it up and I have to make another one.

Hello! Just a quick update, I finished the gusset/strap of the monks satchel (I can't remember if I already posted on it.) I'm about half way done with one of the pockets, and I've started a new pair of socks.
Michael got me this awesome bag for xmas, isn't it the cutest damn thing you've ever seen?I've also been cutting out material, the last two days, for a rag quilt I'm making. This last week we finally got my craft room set up too, Sly built shelves for material, got bookcases for books and yarn, it's wonderful! I knew I loved him for a reason. I still have to go get some of those clear plastic shoe boxes, 'cause I'd like to store the material in those. I'm hoping it will keep out the dust and cats. :p
Very organized, eh? It's organized chaos, I say! Don't move anything... Or I won't be able to find it!

I'm working on it again, 'cause I really want it done. I'm a foot from finishing the gusset/strap and I think the rest will go pretty quickly. I was going to work on another jacket for winter and a wrap, but at the rate I'm going I think I'll start some summerish stuff, so maybe by then I'll have it done. In the new Knit Scene there's a cute pair of shorts and I've seen some tank top patterns online I think I might look into doing. I might even flirt with the idea of making a skirt.

I've been doing a bit more sewing too, and I'm really enjoying that. It goes by so quickly! In one evening you can have a bag done, and there's no way I can knit one in that time. But I'm off to get ready for work, happy holidays!

First post in a long time, and there's a reason why, blogger is really starting to piss me off. Half the time I can't even log in, or I get a post all typed out and then I can't upload pictures, and that's without mentioning trying to read other peoples blogs on blogger. So, I'm trying to get my own domain and do a blog that way.

In the mean time, I've done another pair of black fingerless gloves, I'm working on my cable socks, and I did some sewing today, finished my first bag. I want to get these cable socks done, so I can start the Central Park Hoodie or THIS cabled shawl pattern I found on Knitty. I'm not sure which I want to start first, but I'd like to finish some WIP's before I start another. But enough of my rambling, have a Happy Thanksgiving! Much loves and warm thoughts to all!

Heyhey, it seems like it's been forever since I've posted much of anything. Part of the reason is that I'm so sick of blogger I could puke. I'm trying to get my own domain and do some blogging on my own, instead of fighting to get on here, fighting to upload pictures, fighting to post anything, fighting to change layouts. But, enough bitching, now for the cute xmas stuff.

This is the first thing I've never knit without a pattern, and while I think it came out ok, it's certainly not a sock pattern I'd want to wear on my feet. Too many seems inside, etc. But I think it works great for putting some xmas treats in for the cats. I'm going to make one for my bunbuns too, and then one for my Moms dogs. I wrote down what I did and all and I'm going to try to write out a pattern, then make the next to make sure it works... We'll see how that goes.

I haven't made much progress on the fingerless gloves, but I'm going to try to sit down next week and work purely on them and get them done. There's a shawl I really, really, really want to start, but it's starting to bother even me that I have so many projects on the needles. Here's the shawl pattern, isn't it stunning? And to top it off, it's made of Caron Simply Soft, which is within my budget limit.

Halloween is my favorite holiday, I love it. Always have, always will. But instead of doing a ghost or anything of that sort, I made some pumpkins. :) I'm going to give them to my Mom, and probably make some more later.

I started another pair of fingerless gloves for a friend of my brothers, Cassie. I'm doing them just like the last pair, microfiber yarn in black. I haven't gotten very far, but she doesn't need them until the 7th of Dec, so I got time. I'm hoping to have them done by next week, but I will be working more this weekend so we'll see.

I was online looking at stitch markers, because I really hate this Lion Brand ones I got, and I was a litt... no... a whole lotta surprised at how much the beaded ones cost. Four stitch markers for $10?! Ok, maybe I'm just cheap, I don't even like buying row counters. *blush* So I decided to sit down adn give making my own a go and here's what I came up with, so far. I've got a ton of ideas for more, but with the bunnies coming in only a few weeks, no real urge to go buy more beads.
