I'm back!

So I have been really busy lately...ok not really. But before I was having troubles trying to log into my blog! It wasn't the greatest thing because, I had to reset a new password 4 times! It was terrible! But, I should start talking about my knitting! So, I've been really wanting to make the "Snapdragon Tam" By Ysolda Teague. I was thinking about using my Spud and Chloe yarn, but I like it too much to use it for that hat. I was thinking I could get more and maybe make a sweater for myself. But who knows. I also really want to make the "Abalone" cardigan by Beata Jezek. I was thinking about buying some grey washable yarn for that. I would probably get grey because it would match for things instead of getting a colored yarn. I would love to make myself another sweater, but I don't know yet. But, I also have been having troubles looking for things to make since I already have made at least one thing from each categorie. But, I haven't made a shawl yet! Maybe that will be next! I'll just keep looking and update more often!

Christmas Spirit! And Knitting!

So Chritmas is coming up! So my mom bought me these adorable cupcake ornaments. They are so cute. My mom also bought me a little white tree to put in my room. So my Christmas tree is going to be cupcake themed! Now I have to think of what i'm going to knit my mom and sisters for christmas. Well, one of my sisters always likes to steal my bella mittens so I might make her those. One of my other sisters likes to steal my owl hat, so i think i'll knit her that. But for my mom and last sister? What should I knit them? They are also knitters so i have to find the perfect knitting thing for them, but what? I'll think about that later.

Verity

I've recently made the Verity Beret by Ysolda. I love this hat so much! I used Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Kettle Dyed. I used about 1 1/2 balls of the 4 I have. I had trouble with the band. So I had to go to the Ysolda group and at the bottom of the topics was a topic search. So I search Verity Band and I went to the topic that said "another Verity Band problem" or something close to that. But it was very helpful. I also figured out alot of the people who made this hat had trouble with the band, and i'm not the only one. I was glade to find this out.
