My new Umphalump!

Lookie there isnt it cute? I messed up alot on this guy but it is so ugly and i am so proud of it. The pattern also tells you how to make a bear and a bunny and i cant wait to make both. I cant figure out what i want to knit next. I kinda what to knit the bear. but i also got me some sock yarn and im wanting to knit ME some socks so im on the search for a good easy pattern.
In other news... Abby went to an eye doctor appt and she has to wear glasses now. I reimber when i got my first pair I hated it!(Ha i still do) but she is so excited she looks so pretty in them. We pick them up tommorow so i get to post a picture soon. But thats just about it i just had to show off my Elephant. Now i just need a name for em' :)

How Cute!

My camera doesnt like to take picutes of yarn. So the shades of colors are a little off. But i wanted to try my hand at "kitting in the round" Yeah there are some mistakes...okay more than a few mistakes but hey. I think it turned out cute. It is made for my friends newborn so it should fit well as long as i get it in the mail before she out grows it lol.


And on another note most of my family woke up to a frozen tundra this morning after enduring 30+ hours of ice they are kinda stuck.

These are a few pics i borrowed from http://www.ky3.com/younews?cid=71571&pg=1 ( sorry i dont know how to do cool links. But I feel for all of you and your cold weather and hope i passes soon. But it makes me wanna ask " WHY do I wanna move back to Mo. for the winter?" Well i hope you all stay safe and the ones with electric keep it and the ones without it get it turned on soon.

And again ... on another note. Happy Birthday to my lovely sister! I know your frozen in your boots at work. But just reimber we are thinking of you. Have a great WARM Birthday. Love ya Sis

Christmas projects

I haven't been knitting much I can seem to only squeeze in an hour or so a day. And belive it or not that actually gets alot done. But Still....my poncho I am making isnt done like i had hoped. But its getting there. My camera is MIA but i do have a picture from 2 weeks ago.
It looks so pretty in person. And it has a nice stretch to it that is going to make is so comfortable to wear. I can only work on it when Shadow doesnt see me pull it out of my basket. I think he gets jelous. He always climbs in my lab and trys to get me to stop knitting....Kinda like this.

Isnt He Cute? I am also trying to get 2 baby blankets put together For 2 of my friends back home having babies. I think they might get them a little past due dates cause im trying to get christmas gifts done. One is a blanket for my Mom-in-Law( I hope she isnt reading)But its a quilt top I made for Last Birthday (in Jan)Then my Sewing Machine quit working and my new one isnt big enough to quilt it so im trying to Yarn quilt it. And when you have a pain-in-the-butt cat like mine it makes it complicated. I woke up like 3 times last night just to find him unrolling my yarn! I would pick it up and put it up then find him playing with again. Well Its Friday so i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
