Knitting will make it go by faster.

My little girl, Chloe, went to the vet today to get her 6 month check up and vaccinations. About 45 minutes after I picked her up she had a bad reaction. Her face swelled up about twice it's normal size and got bumps on her head. I took her back to the vet, and they are taking care of her now. She's going to be okay, but I feel so bad. I don't remember the last time I was home without her running around, or sleeping next to me. It's been almost 3 hours, and they still haven't called. They are giving her medication through an IV. They are keeping her to watch her, and make sure she's okay. They are suppose to call me when I can come pick her up, but it's taking forever! I just keep knitting my sock, but had to take a break because my fingers are starting to hurt. I love her, and can't wait to bring her back home.

This is the scarf that I've been working on. I just need to decided if I need to make it longer.

SOCK YARN

Here is the finished Sophie Purse. Like I said before I am a little disappointed with the way that they handles turend out, but over all I really like it. I love the color, and the size is just perfect. I used Plymouth Yarn: Boku. It took about 1 and 3/3 skeins, maybe a little bit more. I haven't shaved it like the pattern calls for, and I'm not really sure I'm going too. I don't have an electric razor, and the extra little fuzz doesn't bother me much. I want to get some pretty material to line it with, and a magnetic snap for the closure. This was a really quick knit, the pattern was free, and the yarn was on sale...so...I would definitely knit this one again, or suggest it for someone else to knit.

I went to my LYS yesterday, and bought these four skeins of sock yarn. The blue one is Regina Tweed, and the other is Jojoland. I had never heard of Jojoland before, but I really like it. It is %100 superwash wool, and it is increadibly soft. The Regina Tweed is for a pair of christmas socks. I'm not sure if the recipient reads this, so I won't say who it's for. If you want to know you can check out my Ravelry projects. I haven't decided who to make the other socks for...they may end up being a christmas gift too. I was planning on making some christmas gift socks, but this week I just had the overwhelming feeling to knit them. I've known that I needed to get on the ball to have them done by Christmas, but just hasn't had the itch. Now I do.

Well, I have another WIP, but I'll leave that one for tomorrow. It's out of the Misti Internations Chunky Alpaca.

Isn't my model cute?

I have been so busy lately I've barely had a lot of knitting time much less time to blog about it. Moving in the middle of the semester is amazingly difficult. My roommate and I did it minus being given our "new" address three times (all different).

Pictured is the yarn I about from a ravelry member, Misti International Alpca Chunky. It is amazingly soft and I want to touch it all the time. I think I'm going to make two scarves out of it, one for me and one for my boyfriend for christmas. He said that he really liked the color and feel of it. I have started playing around with it. I am doing a 2x2 ribbed scarf. This one may be a little too narrow for a guy scarf, so this one may end up being mine, or I may give it to someone else as a gift.

I really didn't plan on photographing Chloe with the yarn, but she kept stepping on it, so I made her take a picture with it. She didn't mind too much. I think she likes how it feels too. ;)

I did felt my Sophie purse a week and a half ago. I don't really like how the handles turned out; they are too long and limp. Other than that it's great. I want to line it and put something in the bottom to make it more sturdy.
