6...5...4...3...2...1... Oh Shit

6 days left. I have 6 days left until I move, and I'm still not packed. I know I should just suck it up, but instead I knit a hat a pair of fingerless gloves and a scarf yesterday. I can't sleep, so I knit. I can't pack, so I knit. Half a season of Grey's Anatomy slipped by in my knitting mania. I should pack. Agh.

I'm alive, and I need a bit of help

I came up with this:



And I wrote a pattern for it, but I need a few people to knit it up and tell me if the pattern makes any sense. Drop me a line and I'll send it to you via email. Many thanks in advance!


Also I made these a few weeks ago:




I can make a tutorial if anyone is interested.

A is For Anne

Anne is my middle name, and my best friend can't spell it.

A day or two ago I was wandering aimlessly through the kitchen. You know the drill: open the fridge, the freezer, all of the cabinets, then the pantry, sigh and repeat. While doing this I spent several minutes looking at a recipe for shrimp ceviche Melly e-mailed me ages ago. I noticed that in the header she had my middle name spelled "Ann" Melly, it is spelled with an "E" at the end, but I still love you anyway.

Ok, I'm Just Lazy

but it is Wednesday, so that means it is Happy List time!

1. Knitting and crocheting, because I haven't been doing a whole lot of that recently.
2. Knowing what I'm going to do with the next couple of years of my life.
3. Sitting around on lazy summer days.
4. Finding out that I might actually get to see my mom sometime this century.
5. Playing with tiny kittens named Shadow.



I haven't been posting this week, because I am lazy. In a few other blogs I've seen alphabet themed posts, do not be surprised if I start doing something similar over the summer.

As always:

Much Love From Carat Land!
