Mr. Piggy Wig had a son!



I made the second Mr. Piggy-wig for Tony's niece and he came out awesome. I think he's slightly better than the last one. I decided to sew the legs before i stuffed because last time it took me forever to sew his legs up. And i didn't do trouser turn-up. But i did do the eyes better. And i adore the color scheme since it is for a girl. The bernier boys loved it lol. they were impressed at my project a day skills last night.

I'm working on a slouchy boku hat with a brown band. It looks like a bush since the main color is green lol. Or a tree. Something nature-y.

I have to figure out a plan for knitting the baby blanket. I have until April 9. That's more than a month away. I decided to do the alphabet plus a pooh and a tigger. That equals 28 squares. which means it'll be a 7x4 blanket. Which will take 28 days at most to make, march has 31 days so I should start March 1st in case baby-wheeler comes earlier than expected.

I can't wait to find out if Corrin, my fieldwork coordinator is going to let me work at Betty's. I want to take in as much as I can while I'm there and benefit from the experience of thinking like an OT but also figuring out the best way to incorporate knitting into OT or vice-versa.

I want this knitting tattoo. it's very artsy and I'm in love with it. I think I would get it on my shoulder? maybe on my other foot. that would hurt a lot but I think it would look amazing in either spot. :]

i feel like i want to start taking pictures more. I want to start taking pictures of my yarn and things i've made at artistic angles. maybe i can start doing that during my hours at the shop. i have to make an advertisement for them for my final anyways. I might as well make it as artistic as possible! I can't wait to get started thiswill be the highlight of the semester. PLEASE CORRIN LET ME LIVE A LITTLE!!!

Mr. Piggywig has been born



So I finished Mr. Piggy-wig, he's pretty adorable actually. I was kinda surprised. I wanna make one for myself. ha ha. Now my friend Tony wants one for his niece! How cool! I'm pretty pumped that people want stuff from me! I'm still trying to find a giraffe pattern for Tyler's Aubrey. I found one, but I don't like it. I also finished Teige's hat today as well. I'm going to make Ty's hat tomorrow. Then Thursday I'm going to work on the bathing suit top and then I'm going to work on a hat for Lauren & then another Mr. Piggy-wig. I love to knit! I am going to Betty's Thursday to sign up for the class. I can't wait!!!

project a day week

I'm hoping this week I can make a project a day. even if it's small. i doubt it'll happen. yesterday i made Mr. piggy wig. I have to put the finishing touches on though. like his eyes, nose, ears, tail, pant roll. weird stuff. anyways. i started a hat today for Heidi's twins. today I'm working on Teige's. It's dark gray, green, and white. I think it's going to look really good. Tomorrow I'm going to work on Ty's hat. His is white, navy, and light blue. I can't wait to see how they look in them! I'm trying to find a giraffe pattern for Tyler's daughter Aubrey. I found one but it looked really hard so I'm going to have to look harder. As for now, I'll stick with these projects. I'm going to try to finish the bikini top this week too! I started that project in OCTOBER! Where the time goes I really don't know!
