So, today was pretty awesome. For several reasons.
The first being that I got a super big surprise in the mail...well...it really wasn't a surprise. I knew it was coming. But I didn't realize it would be as awesome as it was!

Yes. A letter from Miss Grace Sapp (who is in Dublin as I speak...er...type) Filled with some amazing pictures...of inside jokes. An awesome letter that made me laugh very hard. And sheet music.

Of my most favoritest song. "I see the Light" from Tangled. *wiggles*

She also sent along some earrings...

That are *so* awesome! Prolly the most awesome earring I have ever gotten in the mail...(actually I think they're the *only* earring I've ever gotten in the mail...but that's not the point. heehee!) (oh, and excuse the bad quality of dat pic...I was to busy wiggling to take a good one :P)

Sooo...besides that awesome surprise...we went strawberry picking! and are going to have strawberrry shortcake for dinner...*drools* so yummmmyyy!!!

AND, last, but not least...

My dress! Which...yes, it doesn't look like a dress...at all. But, it makes me uberly happy to work on it, because it's coming out very nice. And the yarn makes such neat stitches!
And yes...for any knitter who may have connected it, that is the same stitch pattern that is used on The Bubble Top. Because it was the Bubble top that originally inspired this wonderful design. I'm really hoping it'll come out like I want it to, because it'll be so stinking adorable if it does! Wheeeee!! =D

of knitting

  It's been awhile since I last posted knitting pics, but I have been busy of late and have several newish things!

My newest one is The Bubble Top as Miss Grace likes to call it. I just finished it last Thursday and really, really love how it came out! It actually took a really long time to make. I started it back in Feb. when I went to Cali, but the back gave me a ton of trouble, so it sat and got dusty for some time. But then I finally picked it up and finished it! Here are some pics-

yeah, I really like it :-) and it fits nicely, which is always nice.
Next, is a cute little shrug I made on the way to Ohio for Malachis graduation from Cedarville (it was an awesome weekend, btw).


The pattern name is Leisle...but I haven't named mine yet. Any ideas?

yeah, I like it :-)

Third one...I actually finished this awhile ago, and took pictures awhile ago, but it took someone *cough cough, not saying any names, cough* forever to get them to me.

I was, and still am haha, very in love with this yarn. Berroco, Vintage. All of Berroco's stuff is just amazing, but the color I got was seriously to die for. Really love this sweater! It's obviously just a little to warm for it now, but I did get to wear it a few times this spring, and I'm looking forward to wearing it more in the Fall!

I have a few things I'm working on now. One is a shawl (that I really need to get going on again, heh) that's going to be a wedding gift for a friend. The pattern and yarn I'm using are totally her, and I'm really happy with how it's coming out! Pictures to come...possibly.


I also have two designs going. Well, one I started awhile back...and it's been giving me some trouble. But that's ok, because that's what happens when you do your own designs!
   This was it in April-

I know that doesn't give the best idea of the design...but, it gets the colors best, and also shows the stitch I'm using on the back. It's gonna be a little shrug, and I'm really hoping it'll turn out like I want it to!

I'm also starting a dress. I had this amazing design come into my head at work the other day. So far I have about two rows on the cap sleeve done haha! But I'm hoping it'll come out like I want it to. :-)

And that, my friend, is my knitting life.
