The Little Green Frog

Ramblings of my motherhood experience with knitting and other projects thrown in.

I made an odessa hat out of some yarn that I recieved from my magic ball swap. Only problem was that I was short :( I did finish it so the top isn't how it is suppose to be but it looks fine. I tried it on and it's too short for my liking. I'll probably give it to one of the neighbor girls up the street from my parents' or one of the girls from mdc. I haven't decided what I'm gonna do with it yet.

I also made a pair of longies from the yarn I dyed up. I had plenty of yarn for that so I might make a hat and some booties to go with it. or a sweater since I have about 4 oz left.

right now I'm casting on for a pair of longies for a trade with a mama on mdc for some frog robeez.

I also have otn lionbrand suede in sage for a throw for eric's parents for christmas. I only have 4 rows done. I went to michaels for thier "big" yarn sale and found the lb suede for only $1 a skien! I bought all 18 they had. so far knitting with it is okay. I've got it on my denise set so it slides pretty smoothly.

oh I also have been knitting washcloths. I found some lb cotton at fred's for only $2. a skien so I picked up 5 or 6. the only color they had was black but I thought I could add some varigated yarn with it to jazz it up. I was thinking some mitered squares or something.

hmm I think that's all.

progress

I've been knitting a pair of mittens and a hat for a local craft swap. I finished the second mitten to realize that I forgot 2 rows at the very beginning of the pattern. So I was going to try and take out from the start but it's a pita so I am just gonna redo the mitten and hope that I have enough yarn left so I don't have to rip it back to the beginning.

I dyed up some yarn and I think I'm naming it rememberance.
