Fucking fabulous, no? Apparently this very talented Etsy seller
BandAmy makes it. I hate her for her talent and creativity. I do believe that I will put her work up on a pedestal and attempt to make my own. I'm sorry, Amy. I have the need to craft. I do not have the money to buy your crafts AND fulfill my need to keep my fingers constantly moving in some sort of knitting motion. I believe I am truely addicted. But it's a good addiction, right?
Last night I had a total breakthrough and now I think I can begin to do more complex patterns. Bringing me one step closer to that fabulous bag. I am working on a very pretty green wool scarf for my wonderful friend and fellow shoe and wine lover, Jenny. Jenny owns a freaking lot of scarves. So many that one might call her a bit of a freak. Her scarf addiction is good for me because I can make her a lot of gifts that are secretly practice items for me. After Jenny's green scarf I am going to make a scarf for Renae, my other boozy friend. I hope she will wear it. She is a bit tough for scarves.
Then I want to make myself a fun fur collar/shrug thingy. It is
here on page 19. The blue one with the ribbon, but I want it in brown. How the hell will I use that in Florida? Trust me, dahlinks I will find a way. I also want to make the purse on page 15. The striped one, but probably not in stripes. That catalog had better arrive soon. I need patterns, damn it!
I managed to sneak up to Jersey and surprise my friend Jenny by showing up at her birthday party. It was great - 10 women managed to keep a secret for two months, and we managed to make Jenny cry. So now I can finally show off mystery project #1 - Jenny's birthday present. I am without a doubt more skilled at the knitting part then the sewing part, but I will work on it. 
Pattern: Best Friend from Knitty
At least a knitter who finishes things. I finished up my mystery project, which I am sure Jenny has guessed is her birthday present. It's fabulous and I can't wait to post pictures. And after a weekend of the husband being away I have managed to make some terrific progress on Wandering Aran Fields. I've finished the body and I'm making the button bands both at the same time. It's even more full of cat hair, but I know I'm not the only knitter to have that as a nice little feature in her knitting, so I'm just planning on giving it a good bath and a once over with some tape to pull it all out. I think it's mostly Hermione's since she likes to stick her 
head up inside the circulars and snuggle. How can you resist the snuggling though?
