Rainy Day's

Well this whole week has been wet. But last night it decided to pour down and it lasted well into the evening. So this made for a lazy day.

Since there was nothing to do I did what I always do. I played Restaurant City on Facebook. I am sooo hooked on it. I keep it running in the background at all times and check on it a few times...no make that ALOT. lol I would love to make new friends who play the game. I like trading and helping others out. I am almost level 16. If you want to add me click HERE to add me. Tell me that you are from my blog.


Ok now back to the other stuff. lol


I talked to my mom today,who is in CA till Tuesday, and when she gets back she is taking me to the yarn store to get some yarn so I can make a shawl. There is one catch to her buying me yarn tho....I HAVE to knit her a pair of socks. lol I told her you buy it and I will knit it! So all is good!

What shawl am I going to knit you ask? I have no clue. I want to knit one that will fit me. All the ones I see are on size 2 models and will not start to cover my back. I also do not want to knit one that you have to pick up all the edge sts to work the border. (I am no good at picking up sts.)

I did find something that I want to knit while searching thru the new patterns on Ravelry! One Piece Loom Knit Newsboy Cap I think it would look better on me than a beanie! lol (asked mom to buy it for me today. lol)

Since seeing that pattern tho I haven't wanted to make anything but it. But then I remembered my promise to myself. I am going to knit EVERYDAY for atleast a few hours. So I got out my Rani and worked a few rows. Here is where I am now.
I also cast one for 1 Across Beanie. I bet this hat will be rocking!!! I am using I Love This Yarn Sport Weight for both the Rani and the Beanie. Cheap,soft and lots of yardage = my kind of yarn!! ;)

I Finished something late last night! My own pattern! It took 2 tries to get the beds right. lol

The yarn is I Love This Yarn worsted in a shade of purple and the beads are Pink with Glitter plastic Pony Beads from Hobby Lobby that I have laying around. I plan on making a lot of these with different patterns on them!

Well I guess that is all for today. It was a quite day with the hubby asleep.(he works third shift)So thanks for reading and thanks to those of you who have bookmarked me thus far! I am trying my best to keep this up! Some days might not be very instresting and it is not often that I get wonderful yarn porn but for those of us who are good with craft store brands there will be a lot of posting for you! lol

So go now and do some crafting of your own and have a great day!
