It’s the Weekend. Bring It!

You’ll have to forgive me if this post is short.  I’m just getting off my last night shift before our SPINNING WEEKEND!  I’m excited, tired, and a bit stressed.  I haven’t packed a single thing.  I’m going to get up in 5 hours, pack for my spinning weekend in White Lake with the spinning guild girls (+my mom cause she’s super-special) and pack for the two-day conference I’m heading to the minute I’m back from the spinning weekend.  Damn!  I need to focus a bit on better time management.

So, in the last few weeks, I’ve worked on the monster truck some.  I finished the tires.  They’re hilarious!  They look like giant, floppy dumbbells.  I’m still not finished.  But, I choose to look at it this way:  I’m closer than I was last week.

I also started a pair of socks.  I don’t NEED more socks.  I lost count at 30.  Seriously right? Every couple of weeks, when I do laundry, I have enough hand-knit socks for an entire load.  Can you imagine having enough wool socks for a whole load of laundry all to themselves??  I don’t care.  I’ll never stop knitting socks.  Maybe I should start making them for sale.  There’s an idea.

I also made a bunch of baby things.  My “client” always sends me pictures of things she likes on Etsy.  I look at them and try to replicate those items the best I can.  Let me know how I did.

Etsy links:

Boy’s Football Hat
Girl’s flower hat

Mine:

I think they turned out really perfect.  I’m feeling very smug after making those.  I used NO pattern.  I’m not a crocheter but I just made these up as I was going.  I think that makes me very smart, clever and creative.  I’m totally tooting my own horn right now.

I also started (and finished except for sewing) a baby dino hat.  It’s so freaking adorable, I’m not sure I can stand it.  I got the pattern on Etsy. It was super-easy.  I’ll post a picture when it’s all done.

For now, I must sleep.  I’m pooped!

Have an awesome weekend everyone!  I can’t wait for mine.
