The one I struggled with the most...

I was asked to make a set of knitted items. I added a twist to this special order. I wanted to be able to surprise my buyer with cabled owls on each piece so I really had to do some major brain-work LOL I had to do my least favorite thing: Math. I mixed patterns and made my own patterns. I struggled so much on the mitts. It was a major challenge. My hardest challenge to date. But after all the struggling, I mastered it and HEY, I even got a new pattern out of the deal and I very well could profit from it in the future by making more mitts (IF they sell) Soooo, without further ado....here they are.

Yarn Bombing...a new addiction.

I have always wanted to TRY Yarn Bombing, but never got up the gumption to actually go through with it. Well, that changed this week.  I have NOW done my very first (and second as of tonight) Yarn Bombing!!! And it was exciting. Though they are small...they are significant. =o) I now look at everything in a new way.  What can I bomb next?...adding a splash of color to this dull dreary world!!!



and #2 in front of Starbucks!!! 


And then there's this dork who had to pose in the pic. LOL yessss, its me. =P
