Okay, so.

I knit this stegosaurus from xtreme knitting. I got bored with the spikes last night, and didn't finish them. I promptly decided that Poor Mr. Stegs looked really retarded, because I sewed the legs on all wonky, and he just looked foolish.

I got home from work today, decided to finish the spikes, and sew them on.

And, with that, Poor Mr. Retarded Stegs became Mr. Tardo Stegs, one of my favorite things EVER.


I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this pattern. It was a fun and really quick knit. I did the body and two legs in the span of about 4 hours.


YAY. Two more pictures on my Flickr.

FO: [obnoxious] yellow

YAY, A F.O. POST!

I finished my sister's [obnoxious] yellow scarf last night! And, yes, I know it is June, and we live in Texas, but whatever, she can wear it once it gets cool.

She loves it. The end is a little wonky, because I did 1x1 ribbing to make it all look like stockinette, and I did the bind-off knit-wise. In retrospect, I could've done it better, but I was anxious to finish it.

I think I get antsy when things sit on my needles for too long. I think this comes from learning to knit with only one pair of needles so that I could only work on one thing at a time.

I think it's time to knit Something That Is Not A Scarf. I have an afghan pattern I want to do, and I'm going to go work on some Mary Jane slippers now. Yay, stashbusting!
