Another day.

After knitting like a demon yesterday all I need to do is assemble today's post piece, though I'll do it later as right now I really can't be bothered.

I've also got tomorrow's and Friday's things under way.

I'm doing the second amigurumi alien for tomorrow and re-doing the giant baby bandanna for Friday. Then for over the weekend a strawberry hat, a crocheted scarf and a few more pairs of baby socks :)

Next week I'm going to work on a pair of fingerless gloves in sock yarn for two of my days.

30 Days of Knit.

After taking a day out I think I'm back on track, got tomorrows post piece pretty much done, and Wednesdays is underway too. Unfortunately I'm having to use DK to make French knots instead of using safety eyes because I couldn't get a hold of any small enough :(

Anyway back to the crocheting.

I definitely knit off more than I can chew.

Okay now I've decided that when it comes to doing something different every day it'll be hard to find enough little quick things. So I probably won't be posting every day.

I worked this out after starting a pair of toddler slipper boot things... so I'm going to probably take tomorrow off to get back on top of things. I'll do this by getting another thing finished before doing the other one of these boots as one alone took me from about 3pm yesterday until about 10 minutes ago.

I'm going to try my best to pick up the pace but when I'm out and about so much I can't help falling behind a little.

Eyes bigger than needles.

I need to re-establish my limits before embarking on large difficult pieces.

Today's challenge piece was going to be a moss stitch hat for my daughter, but I spent a lot of yesterday out and about because the weather was nice, windy but still nice. And the bloody thing is taking ages because the yarn keeps slipping off the needles. Hopefully I can get back to it later and get it done for tomorrow. That reminds me I need to find some ribbon for it...

Though I do have a saving grace, when I went to the local wool shop to look at patterns I was talking with the owner about how I have a hard time knitting flowers, so she gave me this really nice pattern for a knitted rose, so I'm going to throw one of those together and fit it on a broach mounting.

At least I have something complete for today :P
