BB you must come back to Grandma’s, I finished the hat that matches your poncho. After much deliberation, I decided to make it slightly shallower than the pattern called for, knowing that you will pull it down and not wear it like it a beret is supposed to be worn. So it’s not a beret anymore, it’s a…a….I don’t know what it is. But it’s cute.

Anyways, I want to make more like it and I need you to model this one first. Your cute face and soulful eyes are a way better sell than SuperChic’s new baby doll or just propped on the desk.

See, it’d be much cuter if you were wearing it. Tell your Mommy for me, o.k.

Note to everyone else. Tonight I took an online timed test for CitiBank. It was pretty simple as long as I didn’t answer the questions in the wrong column I should be okay. It was stuff like “I have never lied to my parents, ” pick strongly disagree to strongly agree. Basic math questions, which we couldn’t use a calculator for. If you can’t do ((6+4)(6+4))-(25×2) without a calculator you need help.

Or so it seems. I have so many things that I’m trying to work on it’s kinda overwhelming sometimes. I have a birthday gift for my Grandma to start and finish by Thanksgiving, SAJ’s blanket to finish, my brother’s blanket to finish by Christmas (which I’m going to rip out and start again because I just don’t like the way it’s turning out. This will be the second time.), hats for BB and Wito (soft deadline on these), scarf for Blue, Silver, White Swaparooni partner(almost complete), poncho for me with yarn I bought last year, socks for Mom before it starts to get to cold, make Christmas cards, finish my Halloween costume even if I don’t wear it, throws/scarves/hats for Etsy shop, fix SAJ’s Flickr photos (Something I actually want to do as weird as it seems. And no you can’t change your mind about me doing it now that you know what else I need to do.), plus something for each of my parents and Grandma for Christmas gifts (no idea what yet).

So I finally finished a project that should have been started in March when the material was bought. Though I’m kinda glad I didn’t work on it then. It made me itch like crazy. It’s only got 20% wool, but it was enough to drive me bonkers. My hands and anything else that touched it for a long period of time felt like they were on fire. Hopefully it was worth it.

It’s a charcoal gray poncho* for a friend. She bought the yarn when she was here as a birthday gift to herself. It’s a one size fits all pattern, but I’m concerned that it may be too big. It fits me and she’s built more like SAJ. Now I just have to mail it to her before winter comes and goes. (She lives in Maine.)

My Etsy store is finally up and running. I have one item listed, but am already working on another. As soon as I finish an item I’m going to post it.

This is so fun for me. I really enjoy knitting and if I can make a go at this I can get things like double pointed needles. I covet double pointed needles. It’ll be great to make a hat and not have to sew it up.

Hopefully I’ll be adding more items as early as tomorrow. The first hat only took me a few hours. Hopefully the others will go as smoothly.

I love this.

In other news, church this morning was great. We even ran into Rapunzel’s 3rd grade teacher. Everything is looking up and God is good.
