The Baby Blanket of DOOM

....Is finished....
....as in done.....completed....no longer in progress....
It feels weird....

This thing turned out HUGE!!!















It really surprised my how sad I was to see it go! I guess when something takes that much of your time and energy it becomes like a pet... Giving it to Ms. E. was like... taking the pet dog to the shelter... Sure it was the scraggly mean pit bull that attacks you in your sleep... But still the pet dog...

I dunno it was weird... A Wal-mart bag didn't seem appropriate for the amount of work... so I packaged it up all pretty...



My hands are still sore form the marathon knitting that happened Saturday and Sunday trying to finish it. So I'm taking a week or so break from all knitting for a while.










I made Dad take a picture of me with it....


(Look at me! Rockin' the uniform skirt! Heehee I never wear the uniform shirt, just a normal Tshirt and the uniform sweatshirt over it! HA! I'M SUCH A REBEL!!!!)

No, I'm still here!

Hi! I know I haven't posted in forever! I forgot for a while and then when I remembered.. I really didn't have much to say...

The baby blanket of DOOOOOOOM has sucked out all my life force (and all my knitting mojo, so nothing new really). But there is light at the end of the tunnle. So. Close. I am planning to have it done by Monday.

By the way my foot is better!

And I got my hair cut! OFF. SHORT. I LOVE IT!

5 - I LOVE 'lolli' clothes, but I don't have any because I cannot sew, and nowhere sells them
around here, and I can't buy them over the internet.
~Don't know what 'lolli' is?~
Check out the clothes at one of these sights.. (ranked by my faveorite!)
The White Peacock
La Dauphine

6 - I'm a Risembool Ranger! The Rangers are the Vic Mignogna fan group! I'm also in the Mini Skirt Army, even though the huge fang-group (friendly) rivalry between them. (I'm more loyal to the Rangers but don't tell the MSA that!)

7 - Almost all my Ravelry queue is made up of fingerless gloves. I don't know why, but I love them!

Whew! That was hard comming up with all those!

And with who to tag! I'm late, so I'm sure some of who I'm tagging has already been tagged... but I don't have time to check right now... (MUST....KNIT....THAT....STUPID....BABY...BLANKET!)
