Finished Dress

Well, I finished the Sock to Frock for Brittania, I still have to add the buttons and weave in a few ends, but I think it turned out great.

Brittania's Dress and Getting Married...

Well, I haven't been here for a few days, just busy.
Got married on Friday November 11, 2011. YEAH!!!!
It was just David and I and my best friend and her hubby, but it was great.
We got married at the Justice of the Peace, then went to Gruene, TX for dinner at the Gristmill and Gruene Hall to listen to the Jeff Strahan Band, AWESOME!!!



Anyway, now I'm back. I have gotten a few things finished over the last week or two, I'm working on Brittania's dress again, I got the skirt finished and am working on the back of the top.

Dinky Long Legged Doggy Sweater

Okay, well, I maybe crazy to try to do this. I am going to try to make a dog sweater for a long legged small dog (Chinese Crested). Should be interesting, I cast on 75 on dpn's and am starting at the neck. I'm going to make a simple ribbed pattern since I'm using such a cool yarn color. Wish me luck,

I'll keep you posted.

Wednesday Morning Wristwarmers 2nd run

Well, I didn't like the way I had the one little cable running wonkily through the warmer, so I frogged this morning and used my subpar drawing skills and sketched what I think I ultimately want it to look like. :)
I'm about 2 inches in now, and much happier than I was with the 5 inches I had.

Wednesday Morning Wristwarmers

Well, here I go again.
My hands are freezing this morning, in the mid forties here this am, so decided I have babytots cotton from Bernat, so creating some wristwarmers. so far so good.
Should have one finished fairly quickly, figuring out how I want the cables takes the longes.

Cold Coffee Update

Well, here it is, my instant gratification for the day.
It has booboo, and I'll fix that in the pattern, and I think for this cup, I'd add 2 more rows (the cup I used to mesure is taller and narrower).
Let me know what you think.
I'll add the pattern later after I rewrite it in a legible way. lol
