the weight of water

so tomorrow is my last day at work. it's a little sad because my boss is so cool, but i am sure i will get over it. they haven't found a replacement for me yet and i am worried that there will be a lot of things that they will not know how to do once i am gone. i have been making these little tutorials on word for the next person to read. i hope that they help.

well it's time for some pictures finally. i keep forgetting my cable at home so i am just posting from home right now. this is the lacy bonnet that i finished over the weekend.


i need a ribbon to make this bonnet stay. still looking for it.


the back of it looks pretty cool

pattern: lacy bonnet from erika knight's knitting for two
yarn: 1 skein ggh samoa in lavender
needles: us 5 metal
gauge: my bad, i didn't check it but they're the same size needles i used for the debbie bliss jacket in the same yarn
notes: the pattern was easy and well written, once i finally understood the whole yarnover thing. i almost ran out of yarn at the end so i stopped i think one row before the pattern specified. all in all an easy, fast knit.

also finished my mom's scarf today. these pics are pretty blurry but it's hard taking pics of yourself! oh well it's very soft and pretty and i hope that my mom likes it. i am gonna see her this weekend so i will let her have it then.



pattern: made it up, cast on 60 stitches and work 3 x 3 rib until desired length. i think mine came to about 5' 8" or so.
yarn: lana gatto something or other. i gotta look for the ball band.
needle: us 10 clover
notes: not much to say really except that the yarn was a bit hard to work with. it was a skinny boucle that was a pain but it made a really nice soft and squooshy fabric.

that's all i have for right now. i hope that friday goes by fast so i can come home and take a nap. i always want to take naps lately but never do. i am going to try to get to a yarn store this weekend for some pink lamb's pride to make a cute bunny. i know i should use something in the stash but i only have blue lp and i really want to make it in pink or something girly and easter worthy. more pics when i get back from the weekend and tales from the NEW JOB next week. have a great easter!

**oh my- i am uploading songs to the ipod now from cds i have lying around and guess what cd i am putting on right now? the spice girls "spice" album. oh yeah. you know you want some of that action.
