Shut Up! Finished Object!?! No way!

Thaaaat's right! My very first kimino is D O N E done! Forizzle! I'm so excited. I'm already halfway finished with my second baby kimino. After two more girly ones I'll make one for my very own bun in the oven. Even matching booties and hat. Can't wait!

As for the furry blue crap-ass projects. I've abandoned them all. That yarn is the worst and should only be given to knitters you really really hate. I have one project I restarted with Devil Blue yarn and that's just a plain old ribbed scarf. We'll see what happens. I'm only 3 inches into it, but every time I walk by that project I have to give it the "stink eye" and grumble at it. One day I may finish it. But I'll still be left with 3 skeins of it's evil leftovers.

As for the sickness I think it's past, I'm just a little stuffy in the morning but otherwise functioning. I did have my first pregnancy accident the other day. We have a corner of the yard blocked off as HP's play area. Ya know to keep the riff-raff out (aka the dogs). Well my dad, as sweet as he is, built the short fence but didn't complete it. There's no gate. So we improvised by using a baby gate. Baby gates are a pain to move so we always step over it. Well, carrying a front load now I should really take the time to move the gate. It had just rained and I was walking home from the 'rents house (they live directly behind us). I got one leg over the gate and just about had the second over when our overweight weiner dog jumped on the gate and it snagged my shoe. I went down like a spasic ton of bricks. I got my hands out to break my fall but it was muddy so I slid and landed hard on my left knee. On the concrete. After I scraped what was left of my knee (and pride) off of the cement my wound started to bleed. It hurt really bad and I cried like a little kid that fell off her bike.

Two days later and it still hurts. I've also used a whole bottle of bactine. I think it wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't on the side of my knee. It stings everytime I try to bend it. *sigh* That'll teach me to be lazy. Oh well I'll survive. After all there is knitting to be done.

*coughcoughsniffle*

My sickness is full blown now. I need different tissues the ones I have hurt my nose, I want those cream-filled ones. I also didn't have enough time to pick-up breakfast as someone, not naming names *coughhuntercough* was being difficult and didn't want to go to Nana's house today. Now I'm starving.

On the knitting front I have got a pic of my pretty much completed kimino. I just need to add some ribbon ties.


Branching out is a disaster. I was working a lace row when hubby called me at work and I forgot where I was at in the pattern row. Of course since I'm using such a fuzzy yarn I can't even tell where the pattern is. I think I may try and rip back that one row. Or frog the whole thing and make a simple ribbed scarf. This yarn sucks. I also got a pattern for a girlie bucket hat so hopefully that'll work better with the fuzzy yarn as there's no pattern it's all done in ss.

So hungry. Maybe I can sneak out for some nourishment. May have to pull the pregnancy card.

Such a bad idea

Ok so I'm actually working on my Branching out scarf, in the crappy fuzzy yarn. Gah what a horrible idea. I'm only on row 8 but I see no pattern, it's just too fuzzy, thick and it's taken me hours to complete just those 8 rows (of course I am at work have to answer the phone so that's not helping). Right now it looks like crap. Oh and 27 pattern repeats!?! That's crazy, at the rate I'm going it won't be done until next Christmas 2007. I'm going to keep going in the hopes that something will work out and look ok. Ugh, it's really bad. Thank god it's not for me.

Sickness

Ugh being sick sucks. Being sick AND pregnant sucks worse. Can't take anything. Blah. I missed knitting group last night because of the onset of the sickness. I think I may have already passed it onto HP. Poor kid, although I don't feel that bad as he's usually the first to pass out the sickness. I was sooo excited to go to knitting group and show off my finished baby kimino. I'll have to take a picture now and post it.

I've gotten a little moxie and have decided to try Branching Out. Of course it may not work out as I'm using Patons Devine and it's a really fuzzy/furry yarn. We'll see what happens. It's "Halo Blue", I'm not crazy about the color but I've got a butt-load of it and have to make something. I think if I complete branching out I'm going to try and dip dye it a darker blue with the light blue still showing. Ok I'm off to continue on my lace-work. Wish me luck.
