American Girl Dolls.

My mom has recently bought me another American Girl Doll. I got Kanani. I'm unsure how to say her name but I'll figure that out soon. I've been trying to look for patterns for my dolls, and there aren't very many out there. I decided that I'll figure out more patterns so more people can find more things. I've been looking for patterns on people's ravelry's, because some people don't post the pattern but find them on blogs so that can help you find some. I'll keep looking though!

Just Sayin'

I really don't know what I would like to knit next after my second owl sweater. I've been knitting a lot of mittens and hats. I might try to make the "Scroll lace Scarf" by Ysolda. I've been wanting to make that. That will take me about 5-7 days I'm guessing. Then after that I don't know what else to knit. Well my friend made bracelets and they were super cute! So I might make those, but that will take a total of one day to make about five. But I suppose I can start Christmas presents already. But then I hate have them sit around for a long time, and by the time Christmas comes everyone would have already seen what I made them. I guess I'll just have to think about different things to make. Maybe I can start writing down more patterns. Maybe that will be in my next post.

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.
