new project


When Brian and I went to the fair I bought a coffee cozee. The more I looked at it the more I thought to myself I could make them. I went trying to find a pattern but I could not find one. I didn't want to tear apart the one that I bought, but then I did. The green polka dot one was the first one that I made and the two other followed. I keep making them until I figured out what I was doing wrong. By the time I got done with the purple bat I finally figured out what I had been doing wrong so I had to make another one to see if I had figured it out. I decided to make two at once and I did make the proper changes. The next step was the hand sewing them up. By the time I was to my finally two purple bats I had it all figured out. Now its time to go back to the fabric store and buy more. I think I want to get some more Halloween themes and maybe Thanksgiving and Christmas. The fabric that I really want to find is anything in a Knitting theme. Off on a mission to find some.

While Brian and I where out shopping at Target we went past the pet line and on the end cap they had Halloween costumes for pets. I saw one and thought of Mavrick. Brian said that I would never get in on him and he would hate me and he would run away from me when ever I got close. Well when we got home I got Mavrick and put it on him and Brian was some what right. Mavrick did not like it but he is not running from me. Snowball on the other hand does not mind having the chicken hat on. Here is a couple pictures of the two of them. Mavrick sure does hat that hat. But at least he let me have my fun and put it on him and take his picture.
And for the knitting I still going on the second sock. I finally got it cast on the way I like it and I have not made a mistake that I couldn't fix by ripping it.
Until next time stay safe and happy knitting!

those coffee cozees are so cute! what a neat idea! I have never seen that! I love the cats hat too!! tooo funny!

ya know, the park thing that Lynden has now is almost too much! when it first went in, there were people EVRYWHERE! & you couldnt even find your kids! kinda scary when your there alone with 2 little kids! it is still busy, but dies down a bit... we go out to Berthesen sometimes to get away from all the people, they moves some of the old city park toys out there. ;)
