Ugh.

So I'm knitting Cleaves from Knitty.com for my friend. I'm making a size S. I already screwed it up. I made the ribbing, instead of about 7 inches, it's 9 inches. Then It's taking FOREVER to do my first sleeve.

( First sleeve WIP. )

I'm working on this with size 13 double-pointed needles. Aughghghg. The gauge is about right, though, so that's good.

I should really work more.

Wooohooo!

I'm working on a new knitting project. Unforunately, with the shrug, I'm going to need a lot of help with it, as it is my first real garment. I also fear I'll have to unknit and unpurl (a technique ladypoetry so eloquently taught me yesterday) about 70 stitches, and I'm really not looking forward to that. >.>

Until then, I save your flist with lj cuts.

First off we have my WIP. And I mean, WIP. I've only done one round of making this Knitty.com project called 'Fetching'. The lovely ladypoetry has since finished two pairs (!!!!) of this, and I must say, they are quite fetching. *cracks up* Oh, I'm so witty.

Here are ladypoetry's FO (Finished Object(s)), seen

( Here. )

She is a wonderful little knitter already. Seriously. I started with the purling and knitting and stockinette, but ladypoetry just jumped right in and did cabling and working with double-pointed needles. I mean, dude. Not only does she have guts, but she's SO AWESOME. ;____;

Then I have my WIP with the double-points. I'm working with four needles, then five for the cabling.

Here's my bee-oo-tiful WIP:

( Seen here. )

I'm planning to make a pair for mi madre, who just had surgery. I'm using

( This colour yarn. )

It's not exactly the same colour as it is shown, but it's a lovely blue-er turqouise, just the colour my mom likes.

Whee! *runs off to knit more*

This is a creative journal.

I'm currently using it for holiday projects. So if you want to see what's going on with your present, friend me. If not, you're going to have to be surprised. :D

Other than holiday gifts, it'll be used for makeup designs, photos of said makeup, drawings of nudes or fanart, the occasional painting, and how I redecorate my room, again, with photos.

Thank you.
