OK the first shawl thingy is done for Dd1, the second one is done and as soon as I pop on a button for each one I'll get pictures of them up with the little blond devil modelling them. ;) Then I need to work on a couple for my older Dd (she has asked very nicely!) and then it will be time to get some knitting in for momma! LOL!
So that is where that stands. :)

crash and burn
Well I finished my Choella a few days a go and I think it is one of the biggest knitting busts I have had yet. The pattern took a lot of tweaking to fit me right in the first place but the neck opening it still *way* too big. I've given up on that pattern. I'm switching over to magknits patterns for now since I just don't feel like going bust on another knitty pattern. I really like knitty but just haven't had any luck with 90% of the patterns I have tried from there.
I am working on a series of these for my two girls to wear when the weather starts to cool and I'm going to do a couple for them to play in since the littlest has a fascination with superman right now and it would be a heck of a lot safer for her to run around in one of those in a nice red color then it is for her to be running around with a sheet tied to her neck. LOL!
I will be posting the pictures of the first on tomorrow since I'll have it done today, it is *so* cute even though it's on the needles!
I am also tossing this on the needles for me! :D
I'm aiming to get some spinning in this evening too. ;)
Off and running.....

taking a break
OK today is the fourth but the fingers are still flying. I feel like crud though. Either I have suddenly been hit with a nasty summer cold, or my body reacted badly to flurry of spinning I did yesterday and the resulting flare of other stuff that went flying too (some dust and second cut stuff went into the air). I am working on my Coachella, as I want to get it done and off the needles. I'm plotting the slight alterations that I will be making to it as there seem to be some serious issues with this pattern. As soon as I have this off the needles I have plans for apron tops for my girls. Then it will be followed by me tracking down my DPN's and getting back to going (read restarting) the tall ass socks/stockings that I want to be wearing when the weather cools off.
Happy Fourth of July everyone!!!

Spinning away!
I've tried to work on my Caochella but well after having to frog it it's just kind ofhovering. I've been in a spinning mood today. I'm almost out of brushed Llama wool and will have to brush some more.
My mom is trying to talk me into doing demos with her. She's demo beadmaking and I'd be demoing spinning and fibery stuff. LOL!
It's tempting. Very tempting. I'm going to have to think about it. :)

Ack!
OK I was almost doen with my 'Coachella' from knitty.com and found out that I had flubbed it in an area (I *swear* I had double checked that too!) so I thought that I just needed to take out the work back to that section. No biggie right? Then I thought 'hey I want to see what this is going to look like on me! trying it on will naturally unravel it a little and undo some of the work for me.' to find out that it was *way* too big for me. Eek!
So I'm starting it from scratch after frogging it all, and get sick as I restart it. It should fit this time. LOL!
Need to get a move on with some spinning. Maybe I'll do that tonight while Dh does a little work on his resume.
