Projects

Hi!

I thought I should document all my endeavors into knitting (and overall crafting).

Things I am currently working on (right now):
Typical Lion Brand Hoodie (sized for a toddler)-
I had been eying the pattern for about a week or 2, but didn't quite feel inspired to spend money on homespun yarn (which I don't really like and wasn't extremely cheap)
until I went to Joanne's fabric store and saw some in lavender for 97 cents each. I went ahead and bought 8 balls of it- figured I could make the toddler sweater as well as a child sweater- and for 8 bucks WTF why not?
I checked on www.ravelry.com to see the reviews on the pattern- most people didn't like it too much or complained, but those people also were likely to say "This was my first sweater" so I figured I will just go ahead and try it for myself and see whats what.
First off- I didn't swatch. I hate swatching. I just want to start my project already! But since I am using the yarn that the pattern calls for (for once) I didn't think it was necessary.
Knitting is going fast- in my limited time before going to bed- I've managed to finish the whole back. Of course the back is the easiest part- but I am feeling confident!

What I'm not feeling confident about is my fishnet/sweater/dress thingy that I decided to knit. I'm not using a pattern. I'm using expensive yarn. It is huge. It will look horrible on me. I screwed up a chunk of pattern and refuse to frog it. Why do I do this to myself? It is also considerably heavier than I expected it to be- and might have to add sleeves just to support the damn thing. But I have no sleeve patterns- will also probably have to make that up too

Other projects- MINI ALIENS!!!

I'm going to knit 100 for myself. Don't care if this sounds crazy I want 100 of them. I have 40 so far- that isn't counting all the ones I gave away/were stolen. It is an extremely easy knit- and I can make them even while working out on the stair machine (not that I've been to the gym any time lately)- but for now they are resting because I'm trying to work on more "serious stuff"

As for the rest of the stuff- I will post about it later. I have so many half finished (and half-assed) projects that it is too many to list right now.
