Overly Overwhelmed.

I have all the time in the world...to not blog. I don't know where to begin today. Christmas knitting is taking over my life right now. I'm to scared to actually write out the list of people in fear of overwhelming myself. I need to work on not getting so distracted. I'm glad I started when I did but also wish I started aloooooot sooner.


I've been making yarn purchases left and right for my Christmas knitting...as I like to tell myself but I know a majority of my loot is for projects I secretly want to knit for myself :"(

I scored this gorgeous yarn from the same lady I bought the yarn for my hippie purse. Camaj, she hand spins all her own yarn from her very own alpacas. Which is actually first on my Christmas list. Along with a yarn winder. Being a poor knitter I have to use cell phone pictures which aren't loading at the moment so I can't show all of my completed presents.

 I started Insou which is a hat I've desperately wanted to knit since the beginning of time. I was finally able to purchase the yarn it asked for Berroco Weekend in #5913 Orchid. It's smooth and a pleasure to knit with. The cotton will make this gorgeous hat suitable for St. George weather and my oh so stylin niece.

This is a design of mine I wrote up using my Knitting Dictionary that has endless errors. Since I'm a pretty great knitter I can spot them and correct them as I knit. NOT something I could've done 6 months ago. I call it The Electric Blu-Aid Cowl. Once the holidays are over I will write up the pattern for this and put it on ravelry. This is going to Jen my boyfriend's sister. I knit this out of Lion Brand's Jiffy acrylic yarn. Kind of crunchy but I think the King Brocade pattern and the color make up for it.
(I'm certain that nobody reads my blog so I feel safe putting up my gifts as I go along)

Not entirely sure who this is going to be for. I came up with this on the spot also. Easy peasy to knit while watching endless Grey's anatomy. Actually all my knitting these days is knit to Grey's and football. Izzy knits!!!! This hat is actually reversible and has a netty stitch on the inside. 2 and 1! My phone is being a real bitch face. I will post more pictures tomorrow and maybe pictures of my ever growing stash. I also would like to say..I have one follower!!!!!  thanks for following...follower.
It snowed today and it's still snowing! Ian and I decided to make cookies. Munch on this!
