I am a 37 year old, mom of 2 cuties. I am now the proud owner of a bachelors in psychology!! WooHoo!! To keep myself sane I drink coffee and knit! That way I don't think too much about missing my hunny and other things!

Hat and work space
The 1st pic is of my work area this morning....playing farmville, the finished hat for my fiance' that ended up too short is in the next pictures of my son wearing it. (He gladly modeled his new hat...my kids love it when I knit something and they get it). The blue yarn is for making another hat for my fiance' now that we video chatted and discussed a better fit, the bag contains the baby blanket I am making....I am alternating so I stay on the same number of row on both blanket and hat.

Shrug....finally done
I have finally finished my shrug....I am not that happy with it. :(
Ok, as you can see, we are different sizes and it almost fits us the same?!?!?! This shrug gave me fits to make it. The 1st 10 to 15 frogs were a total learning process, since I have been self taught on patterns. But the froggings after that were pure agony. I even extended the lace pattern 2 times, so the back would have been even shorter if I had not! The sleeves should have been longer, according to the picture on the pattern. Oh, well, it is a nice lace pattern, I will have to make another with some tweaking and will make it in a solid, like in the picture of the pattern. Regardless, my daughter loves it, the day I gave it to her she wore it all day long, and wore it for two days straight to school after that! Once it gets colder, she will wear it more.
I have a hat and scarf for my fiance' to make, since in Korea is getting cold, and he has made a request. And some babies are coming and blankets have been requested as well. My school work is priority, but I am squeezing in my knitting as well!
