FOUND: Motivation to Knit

My Motivation? (look down :P)

http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sackboy


Thank you, Alan Dart for helping me make my fiance's dreams come true! He's been wanting me to make him a Sackboy for awhile now but I couldn't find a pattern I liked or of one I was capable of replicating. All that's changed now somewhat. I was hoping I could find a pattern with sackboy's mouth open but this is good enough for now. More than good enough actually he's going to love it! This will be part of my Boobie's Valentine's Day present.

So from now to until V-Day I'll have alot of work ahead of me. For starter's knowing how to knit would be a great help. At the moment, I can only do a long-tail cast-on, knit a few rows and that's about it. There's a lot that I don't know and need to learn (i.e. increasing, decreasing, purl stitch, stockinette stitch, etc..). Argh. In addition to all the learning, I can only work on it away from home. My Booberz is so nosy and always curious about what I'm working on. Hopefully I'll get majority of it done while I'm away at my yarn group meetups. And perhaps someone will help me figure out the little things on the pattern that aren't quite clear. Sounds like a plan, eh?

Happy New Year!!!

I just wanted to take some time to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Hope you all have a blessed and prosperous year. I will try to achieve the same. While I'm here I guess I could somewhat go over what exactly it is I'm going to be blogging about.

In an attempt to make me life seem somewhat eventful, I've picked up a few new hobbies. Every Thursday, I head to some thrift store in the area to look for abandoned treasures so I'll be sharing my finds with you all. Every other Tuesday or so I head to library to pick out a few books and dvds. My new reading goal is to read books that have been banned or challenged by the American Library Association (ALA). Currently I'm reading Candide by Voltaire (the vulgarity appeals to me). Saturdays are reserved for yarn, yard sales, and sleep.

The rest of my posts will revolve around wedding planning for myself and possibly my dear friend Quita, whatever craft catastrophe I've made, and other things I feel like sharing :)~

So this is all for now. I'll be back Tuesday to write about my adventures at the library and it will probably include another post about my case of crafting fever. Byez!
