Baby Blanket!

I am almost finished with a new baby blanket I'm crocheting for a pair of friends! I can't wait 'til it's finished and I can gift them with it!! ^_^ It's going to be very similar to Sydnie's baby blanket (see "Other crafty things I've made") except instead of yellow and white it's pink and white since she knows she's having a girl. :) Also, I can't wait to finish it because that means I can get back to knitting my spring/summer scarf!! XD LOL! I can't wait to take it apart and re-start it! Well, I guess that's about it for today! Have a wonderful weekend, all!

YARN!!

So, I have found a new way to buy yarn, and those of you who know me will smack your forehead because I didn't think of this earlier... Internet. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the internet. DUH!! XD I should've been shopping online months ago! I found the alpaca I like to use on sale on JoAnn's website, so I bought enough to make two more Leah scarves, as well as finishing one up for my boss! I am working through a little project I'm crocheting right now, and then I'll get back to my boss's Leah scarf, as well as a new idea I started for a spring scarf. I'm so excited to get to it! I'm going to try cable knitting for the first time on the spring scarf.. I hope it works! And if all else fails, I can always take the stitches out and start over! :D That's the best thing about knitting, if you mess up, you can always take it out and do it again! ^_^
On that note, I was wearing my heather grey scarf at work the other day and it got snagged on some supplies! :( Fortunately, there wasn't TOO much damage, and I ended up cutting the pulled stitch in two, tying it together, and threading the ends back into the scarf.. Now it just has more personality! :D I've been thinking about weaving in some bright colors for spring into it... We'll see!
Oh yeah, and my mom got me this really awesome book called "Celebrity Scarves", it's so neat! It's about celebrities and the scarves they have knitted themselves, and it talks about how relaxing knitting is. I can't wait to read more of it! Thanks Mom! :D
